Shattered Innocence

II

**The Demonai Mafia**—known as *the most feared criminal empire in the world*—rules the shadowy underworld of Russia and beyond. Their power extends far beyond mere criminal operations; they influence governments, control billion-dollar industries, and command an army of loyal enforcers willing to kill or die for the family name.

The Demonai family's reach extends to every corner of the globe—whether it's through illegal arms trafficking in the Middle East, drug smuggling routes in Latin America, or sophisticated cybercrime networks that infiltrate even the most secure global systems. They've perfected the art of staying invisible, with rumors circulating that their network even has influence in Russia's own intelligence agencies.

The **Demonai Code**—a strict, unbreakable set of laws that members must adhere to—keeps their ranks disciplined and unified. Betrayal within the family is almost unheard of, and the few that have dared to defy the code have met swift and grisly ends, their bodies never found but their names used as a warning to others.

As much as they are feared, the Demonaise maintain a certain code of honor. They rarely engage in random violence, preferring calculated, strategic moves to gain power. Their motto is simple: "Power is taken, not given." Their enemies don't last long, and the Demonai family knows how to pull strings to get what they want—whether by wealth, coercion, or a bullet to the head.

Their reign isn't just about wealth or power—it's about absolute dominance.

**The Demonai family's greatest weapon** has no real name, at least not one that anyone dares to speak. Within the family, he's known simply as **"Death."** He is the second son of Viktor Demonai, a shadow who walks in silence, leaving terror and blood in his wake. To the underworld, he is an enigma—a living ghost who embodies the violence of the Demonai name.

No one knows his true age or his face, as he rarely speaks or shows himself. Some say he was born in a secret facility, raised by the cruelest assassins to become a tool of pure murder. Others claim he's a demon in human form, a dark force bound to the Demonai family through some ancient pact. Regardless of the rumors, one thing is certain: Death is not a man, but a force of nature—an unstoppable, cold-blooded killer.

Where his brother Alexei leads with brutality and force, and his sister Irina manipulates from the shadows, **Death** operates on a different level. He's not involved in family politics or the running of their empire. He exists only for one purpose: to eliminate threats. Rival bosses, disloyal soldiers, witnesses, and even high-ranking government officials—all fall under his blade. He doesn't use guns or explosives like a typical hitman. His weapon of choice is a custom-forged knife, sleek and curved like a predator's claw, with which he executes his victims with horrifying precision.

What makes him truly terrifying isn't just his skill in killing, but the way he does it. He enjoys it. The kill is never quick; he likes to watch the light leave his victim's eyes, savoring the power of life and death in his hands.

His violence has no limits. Even within the Demonai family, his presence causes unease. Even **Viktor Demonai**, his father, maintains a cautious distance. Death is unpredictable, and some say that even he has no loyalty—not to his family, not to anyone. His only loyalty is to the thrill of the kill. He answers only to his father, and sometimes not even then.

**Death's aura of fear** comes not just from his bloodlust, but his ability to disappear without a trace. Authorities can't catch him, rivals can't fight him, and even his victims rarely see him coming. He strikes in silence, leaving nothing but corpses in his wake. His legend has grown so powerful that some believe to speak his name is to summon death itself.

He's not just a killer—he's a predator who finds joy in the hunt. A living nightmare, controlled by no one, yet feared by everyone.
