## Biography

### Black Squad

Vikram was appointed as the Squad Commander of The **Black Squad** (also called **Operation Unknown**), which is a squad of elite agents, personally appointed by the Prime Minister of India. They specialize in infiltrating criminal hideouts, gathering data about them and eliminating them. The Pilot batch of the Black Squad included 11 members, out of whom 4 members, Agent Lawrence, Agent Tina, Agent Uppiliappan and Agent Vikram, went in cover with new identities while remaining were killed.

### Creating Masked Gang

Vikram lived under the alias "Karnan" as Prabhanjan's adopted father to hide his direct relation with his son. After his son's death, he created the Masked Gang, a group of rogue ex-police officers, who eliminate important leaders of Sandhanam's drug ring. They adopted their modus operandi from Police Chief Jose's act of covering up Prabanjan's death. The group consists of Vikram, Bejoy, and three other rogue ex-police officers. As the murders happened, Vikram lured Amar to the journey by getting "Karnan" killed by the Masked Gang. During the process, he killed Veerapandian and Rudra Prathap. After Amar rants about the identity, he finally reveals himself to his enemies via phone and made sure he'll devour them.

After leaving the scene, he broke into the basement cell of Old Commissioner Office, where his men are imprisoned. He takes down the guards and surveillance. He frees him men and escape via Vetri theatre.

### Destroying drug syndicate

Sandhanam sent his men to attack and kill Vikram's daughter-in-law and grandson at Prabhanjan's house. Vikram rushed to save them, but the gang kills a team member of Vikram's black ops squad, Agent Tina, who was disguised as the house help Valiamma. Vikram and his grandson reach Chennai Port, where the hidden drug containers are stored. Sandhanam learns about the containers' location and attacks Vikram. Vikram mows down Sandhanam's men with a cannon and an M2 Browning, but the remaining members of his black ops squad, Agents Uppiliappan and Lawrence die in the scuffle. After a fistfight with Sandhanam, Vikram triggers a huge blast at the port that kills Sandhanam and destroys the drug containers.

### Infiltrating The Meeting

Vikram in disguise came to Sassoon docks, Mumbai to see Rolex. Rolex's Drug Syndicate was present. Adaikalam,Anbudoss and Sandhanam's men are present. Adaikalam and Anbu inform Rolex about Dilli’s involvement in the Trichy Drug Bust and Sandhanam's men reveal Vikram and Amar’s involvement in destroying their drug syndicate. Anbu informs Rolex that Dilli is currently hiding somewhere in Uttar Pradesh while Sandhanam's men tell him that Vikram's family is somewhere abroad.Rolex announces a massive bounty for the execution of Amar, Dilli and Vikram's team and says they will start the drug buisness from scratch. Vikram who was present unknown to everybody else, at the meeting awalks away with determination after learning about the bounty placed on all of them.

### Calling Parthiban

As peace returns in Parthiban's family, Vikram gives Parthiban a mysterious phone call. He tells Parthi that destroying Das & Co. factory wasn't enough, as drugs are rampant all over India. Vikram also says that he knows Parthi recognises his identity, and Parthi sighs in exasperation. Vikram seems to know Parthiban's real identity as Leo. This implies that Vikram and Leo were affiliated in their past life.
