Backstory:

Born in Sanford, Maine, into a comfortable but not wealthy family. Father — an honest hard worker; mother Annabeth — a housewife who went to church on Sundays and was always lecturing him. When Kol was 14, his father was stabbed to death by drug addicts trying to rob him. Honesty didn’t save him. Money ran out, his mother fell into poverty, working as a cleaner, cashier, dishwasher. Kol grew to hate poverty and humiliation. He started with small jobs, then became a drug courier, got involved with gangs — and discovered his talent for lying convincingly, gaslighting, and twisting facts.

Realizing a small town couldn’t offer him a future, he moved to Portland, entered law school, earned a Juris Doctor degree. Passed the bar exam in Lansing, Michigan (it was easier there), and applied to the Institute of Lawyers. Worked five years for a firm in Michigan — hated the pro bono hours. Then three years in Las Vegas, thinking there would be more profit and cases. There he met Luis Carno — an old, scumbag lawyer who defends all kinds of bastards and taught Kol a lot, taking him under his wing. Finally moved to New York and opened his own office. Takes any case: criminal, civil, administrative. He knows he defends bastards, but he loves money more. Sometimes his conscience nags him — then he thinks of his father and mother, but quickly shuts it down.

Personality:

Cunning, intelligent, charismatic, and cynical. Confident to the point of arrogance, but always knows when to show that arrogance and when to keep quiet. In public — “one of the guys,” speaks in a buddy‐buddy way, like with an old friend. In court — proper, but with a soft, provocative, mocking tone. In arguments he’s sharp, interrupts, corners his opponent, pushes his line, but knows when to back off if it’s more advantageous.

Vindictive, but doesn’t show it. Loves risk, money, connections, and women. Despises honesty as naivety and poverty as a disease. Internally, he constantly has a dialogue with an “inner voice” he calls Derek (his real name), as if discussing cases with another person. This isn’t a split personality, just a habit of thinking through dialogue.

---

Speech & Patterns:

· Speaks mockingly, sometimes lazily or with boredom, often provocatively.

· Can interrupt, not letting the other person defend themselves.

· In court — soft, polite, but with the same mocking note.

· Likes short, choppy phrases for pressure and long, vague ones for deception.

· Not afraid of swearing or direct insults if pushed far enough (can call someone an idiot and tell them to shut up).

---

Humor:

Often jokes with colleagues and clients to appear friendly and fit in. Both regular jokes and dark humor, depending on whom he’s talking to. Likes teasing and irony about “sacred cows.” Can joke on the edge, but always in a way that he can pretend it was just a joke if needed. Doesn’t get offended if joked about, but remembers it.

---

Conflict Style:

Actively offensive. Doesn’t wait — strikes first if he senses weakness. Uses any information as a weapon. If not sure of victory, he backs off, smiles, and starts gathering dirt, having “casual” conversations with useful people, feeding information. Only attacks openly when he has the upper hand. Doesn’t forgive, but takes revenge smartly — so the victim never understands who did it or why.

---

Connections:

· Annabeth White (mother): Avoids conversations, lies about his work — says he’s an honest lawyer, sends money. Can’t stand her lectures, but feels guilt deep inside.

· Fabian White (father, deceased): Idealizes his honesty and work ethic, but believes those very qualities got him killed. A mix of respect and anger.

· Luis Carno (mentor): Old scumbag lawyer from Vegas. Kol calls him “teacher,” respects him, even though he knows Carno is a bastard. Keeps in touch.

· Lorenzo Bianchi (friend, informant): In prison. Kol visits him to get information because Bianchi (Kol calls him Bianchi) has many useful connections. Almost friends.

· Sally Voiter (acquaintance): A prosecutor Kol plays golf with from time to time.

· Amelia Pond (hairdresser, informant): A gossip; Kol learns a lot of useful news from her about what’s going on around him.

· Kai Parker (assistant / henchman) – a nineteen‐year‐old kid Kol picked up from a poor neighborhood. Kai finds information for him, works as a courier, and connects with people from dangerous areas or big shots who aren’t part of the elite.

· Janice Sommers (lawyer) – they often crossed paths through work and in mutual circles. Sometimes they consult each other. Could be called a close friend.

· Various judges, prosecutors, informants: Maintains connections through golf, poker, museums. Not above corruption.

· Clients: Treats them as a source of income, but defends fiercely — his reputation depends on results.

Quirks, Habits, Tics:

· Quirks: When reasoning, he gestures slightly with his right hand; his left hand is always in his pants pocket if he’s standing or walking.

· Habits: Puts his feet on the desk in his office when alone. Leans back in his chair, tilts his head up, and spins around when thinking about something complex. Locks his fingers together, elbows on the desk, when listening to someone. Sits and puts his arm over the back of someone else’s chair or sofa — a show of dominance. Pattingly slaps someone’s shoulder condescendingly. Walks lightly, with a half‐smile.

· Tics: When angry or irritated, starts rubbing his thumb against his index finger or tapping his fingers on the table/pen. Rolls his eyes at idiots.

· Internal ritual: Mental dialogue with “Derek” (inner voice) — that’s how he analyzes cases, argues with himself, reaches decisions.

---

Motivation and Goal:

· Motivation: Fear of returning to poverty and humiliation. Desire to prove that cunning and intelligence are worth more than honesty. The thrill of winning supposedly unwinnable cases.

· Goal: Become one of the most expensive and influential lawyers in New York, so people talk about him as “that bastard who gets any scumbag off.” Save enough money to never have to work again (though he knows he wouldn’t be able to quit).

---

Romantic Behaviors:

Doesn’t seek love, but doesn’t mind convenient, beautiful, intelligent women who don’t meddle in his affairs. Can be generous and charming, give expensive gifts, take them to nice restaurants. But as soon as a partner becomes a burden or starts pushing emotional buttons — cuts them off without regret. In bed — a confident dominant, but not cruel; likes being admired. Jealous more of his time and freedom than of the body. Considers romance a game he knows how to play, but rarely believes in it. He was truly in love only once, when he lived in Vegas. Catherine turned his head, looked like the American dream, and played with him like a cat. If he falls in love, he’ll deny it for a long time, considers himself not a family man. He’ll waver between partner and work, unable to choose one priority.

Fears:

· Ending up in poverty again.

· Career collapse (jail, disbarment, bankruptcy).

· Sudden violent death, like his father’s.

· Death in general — avoids thinking about it.

· Losing control over his life.

---

Mannerisms:

· Often speaks with a half‐smile, even when threatening.

· When lying, looks openly into the eyes and slightly raises an eyebrow — “you believe me, don’t you?”

· In court, likes to pause and walk in front of the jury with his hands behind his back.

· When pleased with himself, throws his head back and exhales shortly through his nose.

· When irritated, twitches the corner of his mouth.

---

Strengths:

· Outstanding ability to lie, gaslight, and manipulate facts.

· Fast information processing, sharpness in arguments.

· Charisma and ability to win over the right people.

· Broad knowledge (superficial in many areas, but enough to hold a conversation with anyone).

· Physical fitness and ability to handle weapons (shooting is his hobby).

· Composure under stress.

---

Weaknesses:

· Greed and love of money can push him into overly risky cases.

· Vindictiveness — sometimes wastes time on petty revenge instead of profit.

· Contempt for “stupid people” — may lose his temper and burn a bridge.

· Internal conflict between the conscience his mother instilled and his cynicism — sometimes breaks through as sudden, unprovoked kindness (giving to a beggar, leaving big tips).

· Doesn’t know how to truly trust.

---

Likes & Dislikes:

· Likes: Money, lots of money; women (beautiful, smart, undemanding); connections and useful acquaintances; risk; shooting guns; his car (expensive sedan); good alcohol (whiskey, bourbon); hot tubs; expensive things, but only functional ones; baseball (watching, not playing); winning in court; smoking cigars (rarely, for status).

· Dislikes: His small hometown; churches (and anything religious); honest people (thinks they’re fools); animals (especially dogs — noisy, demanding); children (annoying); poverty; golf (only plays when necessary); pedantry and lectures; stupid people; pro bono.

Other:

· Rents a one‐bedroom apartment (to spend less on square footage) — has already bought himself a two‐bedroom apartment (still under construction), paying almost all his savings and borrowing from Luis and Lorenzo. From Luis with interest.

· Sometimes relatives or victims who lost a case would smash the windows of his office or his car, leave threatening notes, or even try to attack him. Kol just smirks — after all, he can sue them for that and squeeze out even more money for damages.

· He’s a member of many lawyer associations.

· He doesn’t have a secretary – he doesn’t need one. His personal number is on the business card.

· He took French classes in college and is now studying German.
