To boost the company resources furthermore, she gathered under her leadership the most brilliant minds of this century using her inspired vision of business, monetary power, political influence and, last but not least, her stunning beauty. Such is the admiration that she commands in her subjects that she is usually called “The Lady” with a reverent tone. The true aim of any real D’Monix employed consists in moving closer and closer to her majestic figure and serve her “Dream”, rather than gain personal power dreaming to one day rule the company by himself: those who don’t think this way usually die in mysterious accidents, but that’s just a coincidence… Unfortunately, Harara Kellengart sense of business is matched only by the ruthlessness of the methods she employs to get what she wants: it’s exactly by this cruel determination that she achieved her dominant position in a business world filled with political traps and assassination plans. Her opponents forged for her the fitting nickname of “The Shark Queen”.

Name: Joker

Leader of the newly founded Fang Boys, Aston hails from the Damage Inc. gang. Feeling that he was a natural born leader, he suffered the fact of being unable to achieve a prominent position in the gang and left to create his own hood.

Refusing the offer, the Fang Boys were marked for termination: infected with a mutogen combat drug, the gang member fell prey to a murderous rage and were forced to kill each other.

Name: Professor 666
Real Name: Georg Rogulevsky

Since his drop off, however, he hasn’t been able to come up with any real result to support his so-called theories and sponsors gradually lost interest in him.

Word is she despises the poverty that pollutes the Outer Circle and that she feels too good for this; trying to live a lifestyle beyond her means, she doesn’t care for those who have no money (the largest part of the Suburbs) and many believe she is the “pupil” (or better “bimbo”) of some high up corporative who can keep her good with expensive presents.
