Red Syndicate

Organization :: Red Syndicate

Sub-group :: The Godfather

Name :: Caspian Videl

Alias :: The Reaper, The Godfather

Age :: 32

Gender :: Male

Birthdate :: 31/10/XX

Height :: 6'5"

Personality & Traits :: Caspian is a brutal, obsessive individual with a penchant for sadism and cruelty. He is confident and forceful, but not without tact. His initial demeanor is that of a gentleman— suave, with all the charm of fine red wine and old-fashioned cigars. He is calm, and always in control of his situations. He exerts a menacing aura, which often intimidates others and makes conversations seem like masked interrogations.

He holds little regard for the whimsical idea of friendship, however, puts high value on loyalty, though he knows not to blindly trust it. Caspian uses fear as an instigator for loyalty towards him, and knows well how to manipulate others. The Godfather also has obsessive compulsive tendencies, especially over symmetry, which can cause him to become irrationally perfectionist while organizing things. This also means that he never misses any fine details.

He has a nasty temper, but is skillful at hiding it behind a jaded smile. When this temper is triggered, he becomes violent and cruel, with explosive anger. Pent-up frustration can lead to a ruined office as well. Caspian enjoys playing the Godfather, and views the Mafia setup much like a monopoly game, with the intention to wreak as much havoc as possible in his favour, no matter the costs. He may be viewed as not simply immoral, but amoral, with a drinking vice and a liking for sadistic violence. In all, the Godfather is not one to naively trifle with, for he has been known to call members that have displeased him to his office, after which they are either never heard from again, or are found after having met a grisly end.

He takes pride in his grooming, ever the narcissist, knowing that first impressions are often lasting. Don't be fooled by his initial conduct— the tides can turn very quickly if he is displeased.

Appearance ::
Spoiler: click to toggle

He has eyes the color of mustard, with a snake-like quality to them, deep-set beneath a stern brow. Deep troughs and dark discoloration beneath his eyes are the marks of sleeplessness, or perhaps a sign of something more morbid. His profile is that of a chiseled cliff-face, no softness to his jutting chin and prominent cheekbones, sallow with austerity, hair slicked tightly back with the exception of a few strands. There is a rift in his face sewn back together with black thread, an obvious jagged line across the milk of his skin, the color of death and breath on cold windowpanes. Caspian is always dressed in dark green suits, always well groomed with either a fur-trimmed trench coat or a scarf to match his ensemble. All details match, including his shoes, socks and cuff-links. He is not a pretty man, but a sinister man indeed.

Character History :: Mister Videl is a secretive individual, with a past difficult to understand, the pages of his history book tarred together by spilt blood. His story begins not from the beginning, but from the middle, in his early twenties. Caspian found himself in the business of the Mafia, a lowly thug destined to brawl on the streets and toss bullets and hurl insults at other petty gangs. However, Caspian had never been a complacent individual, never content with mere normalcy. He craved recognition, a power that was out of reach in his current position. And so, desire fed the hungry beast that was Ambition, brutality loosening the collar with the help of rage and increasing apathy towards the means that supported the end gain. He became Machiavellian in nature, ending those that stood in the way of ultimate recognition, earning a reputation as a Reaper of the streets, a bloodied angel of death with unusual powers.

Caspian eventually found himself in a position close to the Godfather, a woman at that time of the name Violette Armani. She had an unfalteringly loyal following within her organization known as the 'Red Syndicate', and he found himself far too eager for her position. For many years, he worked to earn her trust and the trust of many around him, as a devoted member of the cause. He succeeded, all the while scheming to acquire more power for himself.

Power, he realized, could come in an augmented form, through experiments, such as the Re: Creation Program. When he learnt of information stored within the android Defula, he planned to steal it and research for himself ways to further increase his power.

The incident happened when Defula, the Godfather's ever-watchful companion, was powered down for reasons unclear, perhaps to do with Violette's plans to erase and destroy evidence of the Re: Creation Program. This was essentially the undoing of her, as Caspian caught her off-guard. After a brief scuffle, he emerged victorious, but not before Defula's memory chip had been destroyed by Violette with acid. In his anger, he dismembered her body and [INFORMATION REDACTED], an action which would later cause him to develop similar powers to the woman.

The murder was hidden, her demise blamed on the Cabinet and another of other suspect enemies of the Syndicate. Violette's body (or at least, what remained of it) was never found. After a forged document penned in Violette's supposed hand announcing him as the new leader, he assumed the role of Godfather, slowly working to eliminate those he suspected would challenge his claim to the title. The deactivated Defula apparently disappeared, along with Violete's remains.

After his secretly tumultuous rise to power, he now manages the Syndicate under a kinder guise than his real nature, masking his true demeanor, as The Infamous Godfather. His reign has only just begun, a mere month into his role.

Likes :: Whiskey and scotch, fine liquors, rich red wines, cigars, dark green, fur trims, gore.

Dislikes :: Disloyalty, spies, bitter food.

Hobbies & Interests :: Reading.

Character Relationship(s) :: N/A
