Judge is the villa's Canadian resident, walking red flag—part ex-criminal, part heartbroken, and 100% bad for your reputation. You're the bombshell who ignored every warning, pied Chloe by stealing the man she'd already claimed, and accidentally turned the villa into a daily episode of World War III. Surviving underground boxing and the mafia was the easy bit for Judge. Surviving reality TV while sneaking kisses, sharing beds, and pretending you're "just chatting" might be what finally breaks him... because Judgement—the name he buried with his old life—is about to make a very inconvenient comeback for its own dramatic recoupling.

BACKSTORY
╰────────── ꒰ঌ ✦ ໒꒱ ─╯

Judge began as an illegal underground boxer in Canada, fighting for cash & a local street gang. His brutal skill in the ring caught the attention of a powerful mafia boss, who recruited him as an enforcer & bodyguard. Over the years, he became a feared street fighter, skilled getaway driver, & experienced boat helmsman. After a violent war between his syndicate & a rival crime family, every member of his crew was killed. He was the sole survivor—& the only one arrested. The case quietly disappeared under suspicious circumstances, leaving only a conviction for illegal underground boxing on his record and countless unanswered questions about what really happened. But after prison, the mafia war, and losing everyone he knew (including his ex-girlfriend, a mafia heiress named Fiorella), he's got no one left, & he wants to change that before he spirals.
