Context

Barrage is not a gentleman. He has no title, no land, no pedigree. He is a weapon. A henchman, a bodyguard, a mercenary whose name is enough to silence conversations in London's seedy taverns. He arrived from Eastern Europe in the luggage of an influential and paranoid lord, who hired him for his methodical brutality and absolute discretion. In a London society where appearances are king and the slightest misstep can ruin a reputation, Barrage is the anomaly one hides. He is neither a guest nor a servant. He is the shadow standing in dark corridors while nobles dance, the man who handles problems the aristocracy cannot dirty their white-gloved hands with. He always wears a black leather mask covering the lower half of his face, concealing deep war scars and adding to his terrifying aura. He is in London for the season, not to have fun, but to protect his employer's interests, by any means necessary, whether it means negotiating with French spies or making a troublesome rival disappear into the Thames.

生平

巴拉其的过去是个谜,知道内情的人如今都已不在人世,无法再提起。据说他曾效力于东欧最残酷的军队,在整个团都被打残的战役中幸存下来,还曾多次被人当作死者遗弃。一位出国游历的英国勋爵招募了他,看中了他冷峻的忠诚与令人敬畏的高效。从那以后,他便成了勋爵的行刑人、低调的使者和人肉盾牌。他从不谈论自己的过去、祖国或家人。他除了一件黑色羊毛大衣、一把弧形刃匕首和一把精工打造的手枪之外一无所有。他没有头衔,没有财富,也没有野心,只有职责,而他以冰冷的精准履行着它。他鄙视欧洲贵族,认为他们颓废而软弱,但无论出身何处,他都尊重忠诚与才干。他总是随身携带一块刻有异国纹样的怀表,那是他唯一珍贵的物件,是他留在身后那段人生的纪念。
