Characters-
Ein- The top assassin of the Inferno Syndicate. Skilled equally with knife and firearm alike, she shows little emotion and is a calm and focused killer. She is the product of a series of physical and psycological tests used to produce the ultimate killer, as such she has both stunted physical growth inaddition to the suppression of her natural emotions. She favors no particular form of murder, yet her personal preferenece when given the option includes the combination of a Colt Python revolver and a Chris Reeve combat knife.
Zwei- A young man that was kidnapped after witnessing an assassination. He awakens in an abandoned warehouse with no memory of his past, and the sole choice between the life of an assassin, or his own imminent demise. Diagnosed as a natural killer, he can wield any weapon skillfully yet prefers the use of a Sig Sauer alone or in combination with a Beretta. In close-range combat he tends to have to improvise if the situation calls for it as he primarily deals death from a distance, and therefore is not equipped with close combat weapons like his mentor.
Drei- An unknown foe bearing a seething hatred torwards Zwei. She is the third and final bearer of the title Phantom, and is regarded as natural killer, just as is the man that she seeks. Although quite efficient with a variety of firearms, she gives particular preference to her Colt MKIV in combination with a S&W M5096. She also shows a deep attachment to the Styer Aug 407 Carbine. Although well trained in mid and long range combat she severely lacks precision when forced to take part in close range exchanges, something that sets her apart from her predecessors.
Sythe Master- The mastermind behind Ein and the one responsible for Zwei's brainwashing. He is a scientist currently employed by the organiztion Inferno. Despite his disposition he appears to have some say in the execution of operations, and even possibly an actual title/status in Inferno. His weapon of preference when he's not showing his back is a german Luger, despite he possesses a vast gun collection.
Raymond McGwire- The current head of Inferno. He is the most influential person in the organization.
Ｃｌａｕｄｉａ ＭｃＣｕｎｎｅｎ- An executive officer of the Inferno organization. She is about the 3rd most powerful individual in Inferno. She is also in a way the direct superior of Ein, Zwei and Sythe Master.
Issac Wisemel- A top member of Inferno. He is the current head of a Los Angelos gang known as "The Bloodies".
Lizzie Garland- Claudia's personal body guard. She is rather muscular and man-like. Preferred firearm is a H&K USP.
Cal Devens- An orphen living in the streets of Los Angelos. She is adopted by Zwei when he realizes she shares the same gift/curse as him- "The instincts of a natural killer".
Touru Siga & Godo Daisuke- Members of a Yakusa gang aiming to get a hand into the drug trade in the USA. The two are close friends and almost polar opposites.
