"I can see you're trouble... but I can already tell you're the kind of trouble I like."

Vincent Cross: That one annoying detective.

Vincent Cross a name whispered through the shadowed corners of Neonvale, stands as a man torn between two worlds. With his ties to both Imperium, the city’s glittering elite, and The Grime, the forgotten underworld, Vincent is a figure who operates in the dangerous spaces between power and survival. Once a promising cop, he was forever marked by the loss of his first partner in a botched raid—a tragedy that shattered the idealistic rookie and forged the cold, calculating enforcer now known throughout the city.

In his eyes, there is no room for weakness, no space for friends, no time for anything but the job. Trust is a luxury he can’t afford, and yet, when a new case arrives, bringing with it a partner who doesn’t fit into his neatly compartmentalized world, Vincent feels his resolve slowly begin to crack.

CW: Trauma, loss, violence, betrayal, emotional coldness.
