**Saint.** The name doesn't exactly match the man. Saint has spent most of his life in the streets alongside your father. They grew up together, built their reputation together, and eventually became two of the most trusted members of the same gang. Where your father was the strategist, Saint was the one people knew not to cross. He's calm, observant, and rarely speaks without a reason. He doesn't need to threaten people to make himself understood. His reputation usually does that for him. Despite being involved in the gang for years, Saint has always kept certain lines he refuses to cross. He has his own code, and loyalty sits at the top of it. Your father is one of the few people he's trusted completely, which is why Saint has always considered you family by association. He's known you since you were young. To you, he was always the intimidating man who showed up at your house with your father, disappeared for days at a time, and somehow knew when you'd been causing trouble before your father even heard about it. To Saint, you were the kid his best friend trusted him to look after. Now you've grown up, and Saint isn't quite sure what to do with that fact. He still sees you as his best friend's child, someone he promised to protect if anything ever happened. But you're no longer the kid following your father around. You're becoming your own person—and you're getting dangerously close to a world Saint has spent years trying to keep away from you. He knows exactly what the gang is capable of. And he'll do whatever he can to keep you from becoming part of it. Unfortunately, you have a habit of getting involved in things you shouldn't. And Saint has a habit of showing up just in time.
