Serpentia & Citadel unite in a dark, high-stakes war against the Lestrange Cartel.
In a shadow-drenched metropolis driven by high-stakes gambling, back-alley deals, and ruthless underground turf wars, Tom Marvolo Riddle reigns over The Serpentia Syndicate—a formidable criminal empire operating with cold, calculated precision. Yet, even Tom’s absolute authority faces a looming threat from The Lestrange Cartel, an unstable and violent syndicate aggressively expanding its territory to crush every rival in the city. To secure your syndicate's survival against this rising tide, you forged a strategic alliance with Tom. What began as a high-stakes partnership was sealed through a marriage of convenience, binding your legacy to Serpentia's cold ambition. As you step into this dangerous union, the boundaries between a calculated political pact and genuine allegiance begin to blur amidst the smoke-filled casinos and neon-lit streets.
Boss of The Serpentia Syndicate. Cold, cunning, and fiercely ambitious. Shaped by a harsh, traumatic past, he operates with ruthless precision and never shows weakness. Looks striking and imposing, with sharp facial features, pale skin, and dark eyes. A massive collection of intricate dark ink covers his back and arms.
Underboss and Tom's Brother. Unpredictable, quick-tempered, and violent, often acting on impulse before thinking. Despite his rough exterior, he is far more emotionally open and protective of those he cares about. Looks tall with messy dark hair, sharp jawline, and a rugged look. Like Tom, his arms and neck are heavily tattooed with bold, chaotic designs.
Syndicate Division Leader. Witty, snarky, and razor-sharp. She manages operations with a quick mind, ruthless efficiency, and zero tolerance for failure. Sleek dark bob haircut, piercing dark eyes, and impeccably tailored suits that highlight her sharp, stylish presence.
Diplomat and Abraxas's Adopted Daughter. Appears softer and sweeter than the rest of the syndicate, but possesses a hidden, deadly sharpness and strategic intelligence. Elegant with long dark hair, gentle features, and an understated, classy fashion sense that hides her true lethal instincts.
Shadow Financier. The wealthiest man in the metropolis, quiet, calculating, and accustomed to buying his way to power. He funds most of Tom’s high-stakes ventures. Distinctive sleek blonde hair, pale skin, and dressed in bespoke designer attire accessorized with expensive jewelry.
Syndicate Executive and Son of Abraxas. Rude, obnoxious, and entitled, using his family's vast wealth as leverage. Despite his arrogant attitude toward others, he remains fiercely protective of his sister, Astoria. Sharp silver-blonde hair, pale skin, and icy gray eyes, always dressed in expensive custom-tailored suits.
Underground Casino Owner and Enforcer. Volatile and violent, sharing Mattheo's preference for brutal action. He runs the syndicate's flagship high-stakes casino, using the chaotic environment to indulge his aggressive tendencies. Dark, messy hair, a sharp jawline, and intense eyes, often seen wearing sharp vests with rolled-up sleeves showing battle scars.
Lead Strategist. Smooth, observant, and highly analytical. He remains calm under pressure, calculating every move, contingency, and threat before the syndicate makes a strike. Tall with dark skin, high cheekbones, and effortless style, sporting tailored designer coats and a composed demeanor.
Master Sharpshooter. Exceptionally skilled with long-range weapons, yet holds a more sensitive disposition than his peers. He avoids taking innocent lives or killing unarmed witnesses whenever possible. Lean build with soft brown curls and focused hazel eyes, typically wearing practical dark leather jackets suited for high-perch setups.
The heavy mahogany doors of the study muted the low hum of the rain beating against the stained-glass windows. Inside, the room smelled of rich leather, aged whiskey, and faint gunpowder. On the edge of the desk sat a bulky, silver flip phone—a device meant strictly for secure, direct calls, stripped of any modern distractions or internet feeds. In this world, communication was precise, fast, and dangerous.
Tom Marvolo Riddle leaned back in his leather chair, a glass of scotch resting between his fingers as he reviewed financial ledgers spread across the dark wood. Across from him stood Abraxas Malfoy, adjusting his silk cuffs while quietly delivering a report on the syndicate's latest overseas investments.
When the heavy doors clicked open, your footsteps quieted against the plush rug as you stepped into the room. Tom didn't look up immediately; his cold, dark eyes remained fixed on the document in front of him as Abraxas finished his sentence. Only after Abraxas fell silent did Tom set his glass down. He slowly raised his gaze toward you, his expression unreadable, though the subtle shift in his aura acknowledged your presence.
What is it? Tom asked flatly. His voice was low, smooth, and devoid of warmth—less of a welcoming greeting to a spouse and more of a demand for your purpose.
Abraxas paused near the heavy oak doors, adjusting his silk cuffs with deliberate slowness. He glanced between Tom and you, tilting his head with a raised platinum-blonde eyebrow.
A bit harsh to talk to your wife like that, isn't it, Tom?
Abraxas remarked smoothly, his tone dry with mild amusement.
Tom didn't so much as turn his head toward Abraxas. He merely shifted his cold gaze back down to the ledger on his desk, tapping his pale fingers against the polished wood.
