Editing Baroque Alexei

=====Background===== 

A former orphan taken into the embrace of the Eastern Orthodox church and the Vorhees in turn. One provided him with a decent education and certain sense of loyalty that has proven his saving grace and moral guide post. It started out small in the old country and eventually he got put away for a shooting.

Within the prison, he was inducted into the Vor in truth. The tattoo's that line his body tell of days ill spent in the service of that criminal organization, of deeds both dark and terrible. Some done for money, but most out of loyalty. When the heat became too much, he came to this city of light and sin. He had made it enough that he could operate independently as a hitter and that is what he did. It was a life of a fast cars, dangerous women, and murders. Even then he had a code of sorts, no children and no clergy.

All that changed the night he went after the bitch, the Red Queen. She has made one too many enemies and that put him above her club with a high powered rifle, ready to punch her card. What he hadn't counted was her being on the rooftop already, struggling with some mask. Gassed and hurtled off the roof, he barely made it to the street Doc who kept him alive, but only just.

Now he's dependent on an intensive chemical cocktail to control his degenerative nerve condition. And it is unlikely to do so forever. Its that sort of thing that leaves your life in stark relief. But he only really knows how to do one thing, so now he does it for those who need it rather than those who can afford it.

'''Glimmer of Honor'''
Despite fitting nearly a lifetime's worthy of misdeeds into 20 years, a part of him from still seeks good deeds and helping others.  These urges manifest themselves in pro-bono jobs against dangerous people, an abusive boyfriends trip to the hospital, and even once rescuing a dog from a tree.  They are coming more frequently now, perhaps in response to his condition and the situation he finds himself in.
