Nate Narek is barely keeping his head above water. But no one would guess that by looking at him. He's got camouflaging himself down to an art form. Feelings?

Nate's always been the glue that holds all the shit around him together, and he's afraid that if he shows weakness, those people will be disappointed in him.

It took three years of hard work climbing the ladder to gain leadership of the Shepard gang, but he's finally in a position to demand answers. Even from the devil himself.

The Emperor has turned his back on the people, more interested in lining his pockets than waging war against the Brumal mafia.
