## Events of Stories Uncaged

### Nowhere To Hide

Scarface was first interrogated after detective Connor Stout and the player found his briefcase at the hacker central area where Saviors member Simon Sams was murdered. When we asked Scarface about his briefcase, he told us that he's been onto the Saviors for a while and decided to investigate their headquarters while none of them were there. However, he heard footsteps and hid on the ceiling. However, he realized that he forgot his briefcase and was going to get it. Scarface then said that all he saw was Simon standing with his hands up below before a gunshot was fired into his forehead. Scarface then tried to find the briefcase, but Simon screamed, saying that someone was there. Scarface then put his hand over his mouth as he died before people started running up the stairs, not giving Scarface enough time to fetch his briefcase.

Scarface was interrogated again after the profiler Jake "TJ" Goss found his hit-list sticking out of his briefcase which had Simon's name crossed out on it. When we asked Scarface about this, he laughed and told us that since Simon was such a menace to society, he was on his kill list. Connor then told Scarface that he's going to be in our custody until he's proven innocent, but Scarface said that he had some more things to attend to before shooting a ball into Connor's coffee, making it spill all over the floor and causing Connor to slip so Scarface could escape.

Scarface was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated beat cop David Steele for Simon's murder.

After David was arrested, we brought Scarface in for questioning. He said that he was lurking around the hospital and the hacker room because he knew about Simon's escape and wanted to capture him, but he saw us and the other Saviors members so he ran away to keep his identity a secret. He says he was hired by a powerful person and was sent to the city to eliminate the Saviors' heads, but he doesn't know much about them either, since they're really good at disguises.

### The Wrath of God

Scarface was later spoken to after detective Giles Davis and the player saw him lurking around the TV room where former Blades leader Nedaara Townsend was murdered. When we asked Scarface about this, he told us that he didn't know anyone named Nedaara and that we're wasting our time interrogating him since he had nothing to do with Nedaara's murder. We asked him why he was in the TV room and he told Giles that he desperately needed common sense before telling the duo that he came in to try and stop the broadcast but just found Nedaara's body instead. We asked him if he knew anything about the Blades and he told us that they were in charge of a performance a few years ago where their leader, the late Mason Mills, mocked the Russian president nonstop, which caused Mason to be banned from Russia. Scarface said that he heard there was a new leader and that they actually seemed to be competent but he had no idea that it was Nedaara.

Scarface was interrogated again after the team found a letter addressed to Mason which Nedaara for some reason had in her cell, saying, "You and your puny little gang will pay for this, Mason!" After Jake managed to deduce that this was Scarface's handwriting, we paid him a visit. He then told us that after being banned from Russia, Mason and his gang members beat up, tortured, and killed several of Scarface's colleagues. Scarface, who was obviously unhappy about this, used the opportunity to come to Emerald City to teach Mason a lesson, but by the time he got here, Mason was already dead.

Scarface was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Chinese mob boss Yuan Zedong for Nedaara's murder.

### You Know The Drill

Scarface was interrogated again after Giles and the player found his ID card (with his real name, Igor Volkova) at the subway station where businessman T-jay Lewis was drilled in the forehead. We remember that we were told by Sullivan during the autopsy report that the killer was an experienced killer and knew what they were doing and Scarface fit that criteria perfectly, so we decided to pay him a visit. When we asked Scarface about this, he said that he doesn't have time for our stupid questions now as a bunch of his materials that he was using to build a gun went missing. We then showed pictures of the murder weapon to Scarface and he said that he'll get back at the scoundrel who dared steal from him.

Scarface was interrogated again after he broke into the police station, took the murder weapon out of the evidence room, and shot an officer in the shoulder for trying to stop him. When we asked Scarface about why he stole police property, he spat in our faces and told us that the drill was his property and it was stolen from him. Scarface said he didn't care how many officers he had to shoot: he was getting his drill back no matter what. Scarface said that at least he knows it works now, although he still claimed to have never known T-jay.

Scarface was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated entrepreneur Yazid Shams for T-jay's murder.

### A Groundbreaking Story

Scarface became a suspect after we found an ushanka belonging to him in the newsroom. Scarface explained his reason for arriving at the station is not to do violent acts but to interview one of the journalists about a private matter. When told about Arthur's murder, Scarface said Arthur is the journalist he seeks and felt angry that his contact is dead.

Scarface was questioned for the second time after we found a page of Scarface's exposé. Scarface was riled at the article about his troubled childhood, about being the son of a "notorious terrorist" which got him shunned by locals and society in general, even causing the scars on his face due to lynching attacks. He is furious at Arthur for technically ruining his life, and wished to kill him, but decided not to.

Scarface was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated secret agent Jason Bond for Arthur's murder.

### Kill The Messenger!

Scarface became a suspect after we found a bag full of bloodied tools, with most of the tools being imported from Russia. Scarface thanked us for finding his kit to carry his killings, before saying that he is on the base to accept a mission from a valuable source. When asked what is it about, he won't elaborate before leaving.

Scarface was questioned for the second time after finding a high sum of cash transferred to his bank account. Scarface laughs at us for not being specific enough since he is usually paid at a very high price before we pointed out the current one, which is the highest since it reaches 2 billion dollars. Scarface later admits that it was for a very important mission, paid by a "valued acquaintance". When asked who is the intended target, he said it was Yazid, and that he didn't ask any questions more since he wanted the money, however, he failed to kill Yazid, since someone killed him already.

Scarface was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated secret agent Jason Bond once again for Yazid's murder.

### Saviors Rule, Traitors Drool

It is later revealed that Scarface is affiliated with the Saviors, only to betray them when he revealed the plans to the team discreetly. For this, Laszlo had him decapitated for his treachery.
