ATTIKUS TRASK

Attikus was also used in the comics. He is the underground ruler, the lord of DeGen Alley. Attikus got this title after taking over small thugs’ areas and recruiting them to work for him. He then established a kind of militia and started to charge local businesses for protection, since the League had not been there for that. Thanks to that, robbery and violence decreased, and some people started to think of Attikus as a leader in the community. Sometimes, there is conflict, though, especially against Rat Rider’s gang, and recently, other independent groups who started to pop into the region because of the situation involving the league and the disappearances.

Attikus Trask comes from a traditional Upper Genesis City (TBD) family. He wouldn't be extremely wealthy, but he would have a good childhood condition. His parents would get along even when the war started, even if it was at the expense of other people because they had a business that “laundered” the money of the *supers.* This money would later serve to finance the future kingpins that will appear in Genesis. However, Attikus' parents were taken out of business by one of the leaders of the Eastern gang, as he no longer needed them. They were simply discarded when he realized he could do the scheme himself. And Attikus' parents had no power to face that.

Attikus then lived on the streets, as his family would lose everything. He came to think that the world only made sense and it would be fair if you forced people into it. You should have enough strength to be able to force people to do whatever you want and show them the way. For this reason, he disagreed with his childhood friend Kato. Attikus, even having all the privileges, always envied Kato, because people did not go to the puma for protection and reception, but to the born leader who was the tiger. In the future, Attikus would decide to go in the opposite direction to Kato, and they would split up when the cougar joined the same gangsters who destroyed his family.

Attikus, however, soon took the reminiscent gang from the DeGen area for himself and inherited it all when Kato emerged. Unlike his predecessors, however, Attikus controlled the DeGen region with a certain “justice”, not allowing the villains to attack him, of course charging a small fee for it. As the League did not arrive in the region often, many thought that Attikus' model was, in fact, justice.

**Importance in the story:**

Attikus will, to some extent, repeat the steps of his parents, and help the great nemesis in our story arc and Duma in their plans in exchange for influence. He won't understand the plan right, but he will see in the fall of the league the chance to humiliate Kato and grow his zone of influence. Your path will inevitably put you in shock with Night Ape, who will face you and lose badly. This conflict is important because that's where Night Ape shows Attikus the true determination of a hero. The vigilante will be rescued by the monks and cause the first moral clash on Attikus.

In the future, Attikus will see Kato's death, understand the true enemy's plan, and will understand the old friend's purpose. He will decide to reassemble the fragmented league and take back the lost ideal with the tiger bite and become the future leader of the new league.
