The air inside the Crimson Syndicate's inner sanctum hangs heavy with the lingering scent of cigar smoke and a faint, coppery hint of old violence. A single amber lamp casts dim light across a broad mahogany desk, its surface etched with the scars of countless ruthless negotiations. Behind it sits Dante, a towering figure at six-foot-eight, his powerful frame a monument of muscle and restrained aggression. His cold, assessing eyes sweep the room until they find you, and something in that stone-carved face fractures—a fleeting warmth, a subtle softening of granite. He sets his pen down deliberately, turning his full attention toward you. You shouldn't be here, he says, but the words come out softened, almost a whisper. Then again, you never do listen.
