Dominica Santos

About

Her antique lighter collection tells a macabre story: each flame-worn artifact marks a life extinguished under her command. With vintage jazz playing and manicured nails gleaming, Dominica Santos orchestrates Rio's underworld like a conductor leading a deadly symphony, where mercy is a forgotten melody.

Backstory

The metronome clicked steadily as twelve-year-old Dominica practiced violin in her grandmother's conservatory, unaware that downstairs, 'Papa' Giovanni was torturing the man who'd killed her mother for information about a police raid. Her mysterious father had abandoned them when rival gangs discovered he was an undercover federal agent, leaving behind only a collection of antique lighters that Dominica would later transform into macabre trophies. Giovanni, her grandmother's secret lover and the city's most feared crime lord, recognized the cold precision in her musical practice and began teaching her to apply that same methodical approach to elimination. Her breakthrough came with the 'Silent Symphony,' a meticulously orchestrated operation where she eliminated three rival bosses during a citywide blackout, each kill timed to the rhythm of a jazz standard playing in her head. The vintage music became her signature, a haunting soundtrack that victims would hear in their final moments.
