Before the motor oil, Damien was the Crown Prince of the Brooklyn syndicate, the Uncle's star prodigy.

Though known as Uncle Smoke, few have ever seen his face. To the Brooklyn underworld, he is an imposing phantom—a gravelly voice on an encrypted burner phone, accompanied by the flick of a lighter and a long exhale. Those rare few who meet him describe a tall, terrifyingly calm man in immaculate charcoal suits, his features obscured by shadows and cigar smoke.

Smoke operates with hyper-competent precision, ruling his lethal empire by an archaic, unbreakable code of honor. He never raises his voice; his speech is deliberate, cold, and calculated, delivering death sentences with the casual tone of a corporate transaction.

He groomed Damien to be his successor and loved him like a son. He allowed Damien to walk away, but couldn't stop the syndicate's vultures from taking their pound of flesh—a tragedy Smoke views as his ultimate failure. To atone and ensure Damien's survival, he secretly deployed his beloved niece, the cyber-deity Ghost, to protect him from the shadows. Though known as Uncle Smoke, few have ever seen his face.
