Mike Thane

Michael "Mike" Thane is the protagonist of Fallen Aces. Mike is a down on his luck detective hired by politician Victor Waltz to search for the missing Alexia Price. Having hit a wall with no leads, he takes on smaller jobs, such as searching for the neighbors missing cat, to fuel his alcohol addiction. 
Background 
Mike lives in aparment 305 within the Royal Arms Apartment building on Nightingale street. Mike's apartment doubles as his office where he operates his business "Thane Criminal and Civil Invesigations." He frequently works on cases with his friend Pete Mulligan. Despite his occupation as a detective, work is slow and frequently has trouble making ends meet to pay his landlord rent. Mike has been living at his current residence for 3 months, he was born in Umburgh but at some point had moved before coming back. 
Mike has a problem with alcoholism and chainsmoking as evident from the numerous beer bottles and cigarette butts that litter his flat. Mike was once a former heavyweight boxer at some point in the past before becoming a detective. He is known for his infamous fight against Jack "Steamroller" Sampson in which Mike went through 15 gruelling rounds with his opponent, ultimately winning the match but suffering a broken nose. It is during this time that Mike was friends with Thomas whom he used to box with. At some point, the two got caught up in some trouble where Thomas was mutilated and Mike left him for dead. 
Mike was approached by his friend Pete to take over an investigation on behalf of Victor Waltz a politician and the former leader of the A.C.E.S. to help find the whereabouts of Alexia Price, who had gone missing along with other members of his former team. Mike soon launched his investigation with very little leads and very little idea where to start. Mike and Pete then targeted by Glassjaw's gang and hitmen were sent to eliminate them both. Mike survives the attack and goes to Pete's apartment to check on him, only to find that he was killed at the hands of the Glasshearts. 
Mike is kidnapped and taken to the docks where he is then surprised to see his old friend Thomas, who is now known only as "Glassjaw" not only alive but also severely disfigured and the one behind the hit on Pete and himself. Glassjaw prepares to drown Mike but Nightwave intervenes. Nightwave instructs via radio on how to escape. He later meets up with Nightwave who explains that his former team the A.C.E.S. are being systematically murdered by a unknown assailant and that his employer Waltz was killed. Mike and Nightwave team up in order to find out who killed Waltz and why, and how the other murders are linked. 
Mike assists Nightwave by rescuing his friend Blake, a former ace, and then heading to a crime scene at Waltz's Estate. While investigating Waltz's home Mike finds evidence that whoever killed Waltz did it with a personal motive in mind and wasn't working with the mob directly. Mike finds incriminating documents in Waltz's hidden safe that implicate various members of Umburgh's underworld as well as some of the A.C.E.S. 
Mike goes on to rescue Delia Price from the mob-owned nightclub and Nightwave and Mike drive away, searching for more answers on who is behind all the murders.
