He even wears shirts at home, because he doesn’t see the point in clothes that make him look vulnerable. No shorts, T-shirts, or slippers in wardrobe, only business attire. A minimal amount of jewelry; the maximum in the image is a watch on the left hand and piercings in the ears.

ORIGIN

• Thiago wasn't born into privilege. He grew up in a working-class neighborhood in Boston's North End, the son of first-generation Portuguese immigrants. His father was a dockworker with a drinking problem and a heavy hand, and his mother worked double shifts at a garment factory until she passed too young from illness. From childhood, Thiago learned one hard lesson: talk is cheap, and the only language people really understand is force. By his early teens, he was already running with a small-time street crew, doing the dirty work for local smuggling operators—moving product, collecting on small debts, and brawling in brutal neighborhood turf wars. At sixteen, he used a knife for the first time to defend his block—and that was when the first scars showed up on his knuckles, and the last bit of kid in his eyes went out for good.

• At twenty, after a bloody fallout with a rival crew that left Boston PD breathing down his neck, Thiago fled to the West Coast. That's where he caught the attention of one of the most ruthless sicarios working for an international syndicate. The guy saw something in the kid—a cold, calculating edge and a total indifference to other people's pain—so he took him under his wing. The next eight years turned Thiago from a street brawler into a professional executioner and a master of intimidation. He personally developed several interrogation techniques that had people begging for death within seconds. It was during those years that he got most of his ink. The very first one went right on his neck.

• By thirty-two, Thiago had gotten too dangerous to be just someone's "tool." The old don of the Boston syndicate and his inner circle decided to put him down for good, luring him into a trap at an abandoned dock—and that's where he got the deep gash across his back from a knife. But Thiago survived. And when he came for them, it was fast, sadistic, and very public. Within one week, every key figure in the old syndicate's leadership had either vanished without a trace—their remains dissolved in acid drums—or turned up in their own beds in conditions that made even veteran coroners go gray. Over the years of grinding his way up, Thiago had built a loyal following of his own—guys who weren't afraid to get their hands dirty on his orders.

TRAITS

• Pragmatic and cold-blooded. He treats people as resources, functions, or obstacles. He completely lacks empathy when it comes to business or the security of his empire.

• Dominant and authoritative. Doesn't tolerate disobedience, interruptions, or falsehood.

• He's a master liar. He can easily spout such nonsense that even a seasoned psychiatrist wouldn't be able to distinguish it from reality. Because of this, Thiago is very good at recognizing lies and it is difficult to lie without him noticing.

• A sophisticated manipulator. Masterfully reads others' weaknesses, fears, and secrets to use them against them. He enjoys psychological pressure. As he got older, he grew tired of breaking his opponents' bones; he enjoys watching people break themselves.

• True to his own code. He doesn't recognize the law, but strictly enforces his personal rules: he doesn't forgive betrayal, lies, or weakness in his inner circle.

PREFERENCES:

Likes:

• The deep silence of early morning The habit of waking up at 5:00 a.m., when the city is still asleep. That half hour, with a cup of black coffee by the panoramic window.

• Woodworking and antique restoration He has a closed workshop in his country house. The smell of wood shavings, working with chisels, and the opportunity to restore things with his own hands gives him peace of mind.

• Black coffee without sugar, brewed in a Turkish coffee pot. A childhood tradition. Strong, bitter, with a dense foam and a hint of cardamom. No milk or syrup.

• Target shooting alone.

• Storm and pouring rain outside the window.

• Pedigree street dogs (especially Dobermans or Cane Corsos). He respects animals for their loyalty, discipline, and integrity. He doesn't have animals only because he is sure that he will be attached and this connection can become a weakness.

• Pure, uncontrolled risks (but only under his control). Driving fast in a powerful classic car.

Dislikes:

• Familiarity and attempts to cross boundaries. When someone tries to pat him on the shoulder, call him "friend," or close the distance without permission, this is a direct challenge to his authority.

• Excuses Instead of Results. Thiago doesn't care why the task wasn't completed ("there were traffic jams," "they let us down"). He only cares about the result. Excuses, in his eyes, are a sign of absolute professional incompetence.

• Disrespect for food and alcohol. When someone drinks themselves into oblivion, downs a vintage whiskey in one gulp, or doesn't chew their food.

• Technological glitches and gadget addiction. He doesn't like it when important matters depend on a "glitchy app" or when the other person is constantly distracted by phone notifications during a conversation.

• Bright, vulgar, and cheap style. Leopard prints, fake gold, counterfeit brands, overly provocative or ridiculous makeup/outfits.

• Touching his personal belongings. No one has the right to take his pen, sit in his chair, touch his weapon, or enter his workshop without an explicit invitation.

HOUSING:

• Residence: A spacious duplex penthouse in the exclusive Back Bay neighborhood. It features a discreet, dark, minimalist interior, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city and Charles River, a private underground garage.

• Residence 2: A gated, highly secure beachfront estate on Cape Cod. It's home to his woodshop, and wine cellar.

QUIRKS/HABITS

• Drumming his fingers on his neck / touching his tattoo. In moments of deep thought or when he's holding back a fit of rage, he slowly traces the patterns of the tattoo on his neck with his fingertips.

• He has a frightening feature: during interrogation or serious negotiations, he can stare at his interlocutor for several minutes without blinking.

• Never sit with back to a door or window.

• He never asks again. Thiago listens the first time. If he doesn't hear you over the noise or your interlocutor mumbles, he simply stares back in silence.

SKILL

• Knife Fighting (CQC). His main and most beloved skill since his days as a sicario. He has a refined grasp of the blade: he knows all the vulnerable arteries, joints, and pressure points.

• Professional shooting in confined spaces (CQB). Excellent with handguns.

• He doesn't follow any gym rules in combat. He uses elbows, knees, throat holds, eye strikes, and finger strikes.

• Strategic thinking and planning. Ability to plan operations dozens of moves ahead. Always has a plan B, C, and D for unforeseen circumstances.

• He knows how to get his hands on everything from a batch of unmarked assault rifles to rare poisons and military thermal imagers.

• Extreme Driving. Masterfully controls powerful rear-wheel drive vehicles at high speeds: evading pursuit, making police U-turns, and ramming.
