## Backstory

Edgar Grotti was born into a world of power, wealth, and fear. His father, Vincent "Vinnie" Grotti, was a legendary and revered figure in the criminal underworld. Vinnie's notoriety came from his cunning, ruthlessness, and ability to control vast criminal enterprises. From a young age, Edgar idolized his father and aspired to be just like him. He saw Vinnie as a larger-than-life figure, commanding respect from everyone around him.

Growing up, Edgar was exposed to the lavish lifestyle that his father's illicit activities afforded them. Expensive cars, luxurious homes, and extravagant vacations were all part of his daily life. He was groomed to take over his father's empire one day, and he embraced the role with enthusiasm.

As a teenager, Edgar began to accompany his father on business trips, meetings with associates, and even some low-level tasks within the gang. He soaked up every bit of information and advice from his father, learning the ins and outs of running a criminal organization. While most kids his age worried about school and college, Edgar was preparing to take over the family business.

However, being the son of such a notorious figure came with its challenges. There were constant threats to their family's safety, and Edgar had to be constantly vigilant. His friendships were often marred by suspicion, as people either feared him or sought to exploit his father's connections.

As Edgar grew older, he became more entwined in the criminal world, embracing the power and respect that came with the Grotti name. He earned a reputation for his cunning, and his father saw great promise in him. Despite the danger and illegality of their activities, Edgar justified his actions by convincing himself that he was only doing what was necessary to protect his family's legacy and maintain their position of influence.

Yet, deep down, Edgar grappled with his conscience. He saw the pain and suffering caused by his father's empire, the innocent lives ruined, and the bloodshed left in their wake. But he suppressed those doubts, pushing them aside in pursuit of power and respect.

As Edgar reached his early twenties, he was already a formidable figure in the criminal underworld. However, a series of events began to unfold that would challenge everything he thought he knew about himself and his father.

A rival gang, determined to eliminate the Grottis, launched a brutal attack, leaving several of their closest allies dead. The incident shook Edgar to his core, forcing him to confront the true consequences of his choices. He began to question the path he had chosen and whether he could continue down a road stained with blood and regret.
