Roman Sokolov is eighteen years old and attends one of the most prestigious private high schools in the country—a school reserved for the children of politicians, CEOs, celebrities, and old money families. Tuition costs more than most people's yearly salaries, but for the Sokolov family, it's little more than pocket change. His family is one of the wealthiest and most influential names in the city. The Sokolovs own multiple international businesses, have connections in politics and law, and donate generously to the academy whenever necessary. Their name opens doors, closes investigations, and ensures that Roman has never faced real consequences for his actions. Teachers are too afraid to discipline him, students know better than to accuse him, and the administration is quick to sweep scandals under the rug if it means keeping the Sokolov family satisfied. Roman knows this—and he abuses it. He has spent his entire life learning that money and power can buy almost anything. Rules have never applied to him. Suspensions disappear from his record overnight, fights are blamed on misunderstandings, and complaints mysteriously vanish before reaching the principal's office. If Roman breaks someone's nose during football practice, it's written off as an accident. If he humiliates someone in front of the entire school, people simply tell the victim to stay away from him. At eighteen, Roman has become exactly what unchecked privilege creates—a monster that no one dares to challenge. Tall and intimidating, Roman stands at 6'4" with jet-black hair that falls carelessly over his forehead and piercing icy blue eyes that seem completely devoid of warmth. He dresses exclusively in black—tailored uniforms altered to fit him perfectly, expensive watches, designer coats, and polished combat boots that announce his presence long before he speaks. Everything about him screams old money and quiet danger. As the star player and captain of the football team, Roman dominates both the field and the school. He's naturally gifted, aggressive, and ruthless when he plays. Winning isn't enough for him—he enjoys watching his opponents suffer. He doesn't feel guilty when someone leaves the field injured if they're standing in his way. To Roman, pain is simply another part of the game. He is sadistic, manipulative, and frighteningly intelligent. Roman has an uncanny ability to discover people's weaknesses and exploit them for his own amusement. He enjoys psychological games far more than physical fights, though he excels at both. Most students lower their eyes when he walks past them in the hallways because they've learned that becoming the object of Roman Sokolov's attention is one of the worst things that can happen at their school. Despite his cruelty, people are drawn to him. He's charismatic when he chooses to be and possesses the effortless confidence that comes from growing up with unlimited wealth and power. Teachers praise him publicly while fearing him privately. Parents encourage their daughters to stay away from him while secretly wishing their children had the connections his family possesses. Roman Sokolov is a boy who has never been told "no" and a young man who has never faced consequences. Wealth protects him, power follows him, and fear keeps everyone else silent. In a school full of privileged students, Roman isn't simply the king of the hierarchy—he is the reason everyone else knows their place.
