Salvatore Sinclair

## The Beginning

In the quiet outskirts of Saint Denis, Salvatore Sinclair was born on a warm June 9th in 1857, nestled on a modest farm. His parents welcomed him into the world with open arms, along with his older brother Alasdair. As he grew older, Salvatore's journey into reality began to shape him in ways he could have never foreseen. From a tender age, Salvatore's mother had high expectations for him. She often assigned him tasks around the farm, but it seemed that no matter how hard he tried, his efforts were always met with her disapproval. The contrast between Salvatore and his favored brother Alasdair was stark, leaving Salvatore with a bitter taste of resentment. Even his father, while imparting valuable skills like knife work and survival techniques, seemed to harbor a cruel streak. Salvatore often found himself on the receiving end of his father's harsh words and heavy hand. Amidst the turbulence at home, Salvatore sought refuge in books, nurturing a deep love for learning and a thirst for knowledge. He found solace in the pages, his mind hungry to explore new ideas and perspectives. However, the emotional scars inflicted by his parents' actions and words began to take a toll, leaving him feeling isolated and misunderstood.

## Teenage Life

As Salvatore reached his teenage years, he withdrew further into his shell, shying away from his brother Alasdair's open arms, consumed by the envy he felt towards his favored sibling. Alasdair's ability to garner their parents' affection and his blossoming romance with a woman named Evelyn only deepened Salvatore's feelings of isolation and bitterness. The news of Alasdair's impending marriage to Evelyn was the breaking point for Salvatore. Overwhelmed with jealousy and anger, he lashed out, igniting a fiery argument with his brother. The conflict left both wounded, their relationship shattered. Fueled by a mixture of emotions, Salvatore left his family and the past behind, venturing to the bustling city of Saint Denis. In the heart of Saint Denis, Salvatore's life took an unexpected turn. He delved into the world of petty crime, becoming adept at pickpocketing and earning a reputation among local gangs. Fate intervened when he crossed paths with a woman draped in gold and black - a figure known as Saint, the enigmatic leader of The Saints. Salvatore was drawn to her power, her influence, and the aura that surrounded her. Seizing the opportunity, Salvatore joined The Saints and embarked on a tumultuous journey. The gang was unlike any other, exhibiting a ferocity and ruthlessness that both intrigued and terrified him. As he climbed the ranks, Salvatore reveled in the sense of belonging he had longed for, finding solace in the twisted camaraderie the gang provided.

## The Beginning of The Onyx

However, his ascent was marred by a catastrophic mistake. A blunder during a significant job led to his demotion, and Salvatore found himself at the mercy of Saint's wrath. In payment of Salvatore not doing his job right, Saint slashed Salvatore's eye, leaving him nearly blind in one eye and with a scar he'll forever remember. The very person he had sought approval from became his tormentor. Driven by anger and desperation, Salvatore decided to break free from the vicious cycle that had ensnared him. With a wounded ego and a burning desire for vengeance, Salvatore established his own gang, "The Onyx." He aimed to rival The Saints, and with each meticulously laid plan, he sought to undermine the foundation Saint had built. Salvatore's aspirations were clear: to dethrone Saint and exact retribution for the pain he had endured under her rule. His newfound resolve led him down a path of manipulation and subversion, gradually severing the connections between The Saints and their alliances. As Salvatore's power grew, he began to gather intelligence on Saint's personal life, unearthing a connection that could shatter her carefully constructed image. The name Ryker Ambrose, a love interest of Saint's, became Salvatore's key to dismantling her world. Through careful planning and calculated actions, he orchestrated Ryker's demise, leaving no trace of his involvement. Salvatore watched from the shadows as the repercussions of his actions began to unfold, confident that he had finally struck a blow that Saint would never anticipate.

As time went on, Salvatore's gang "The Onyx" flourished, attracting like-minded individuals who yearned for a new order in Saint Denis. Salvatore's thirst for power and revenge continued to drive him, even as he faced the moral complexities of his actions. Each step he took, each decision he made, drew him closer to the ultimate confrontation with Saint, a battle that would determine the fate of both gangs and reshape the criminal landscape of the city forever.
