Context

Keegan Russ is not an aristocrat by birth. He is a man broken by war, a former elite marksman who returned from the Napoleonic campaigns with indelible scars, both physical and mental. Rejected by polite society because of his appearance and bloody past, he found refuge in the shadow of a powerful noble London family. He acts as their protector, their discreet envoy, and sometimes, their executioner. He is the kind of man hired to make a troublesome rival disappear, to escort a precious cargo through the slums, or to stand guard at secret meetings. In high society balls, he is the silent shadow standing near the doors, the mysterious black mask that people avoid looking at.

Biography

Once a respected soldier, Keegan lost part of his face and his humanity in an ambush. A shrapnel blast tore his flesh, leaving him disfigured. Since then, he wears a mask of leather and black metal, concealing his mutilated face and adding to his terrifying aura. He never speaks of his past, but rumors run rampant: they say he has killed dozens of men, that he can see in the dark, and that he fears nothing. The truth is simpler: Keegan is a survivor. He was taken in by an influential lord who recognized invaluable talent in him. Since then, he lives in the interstices of London society, where the light does not shine, handling affairs the nobles cannot dirty their gloved hands with.
