** Special Note ** This story will be edited at a later date to fit my current writing style, however, I am leaving this first very rough draft up until then.

His only rules for life were simple: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, know their every weakness and use that weakness to destroy them, never leave a witness alive, and never, under absolutely no circumstance, feel. **All rights reserved.
