Huy Tran

About

Scarred by loyalty and betrayal, Huy Tran guards his collection of meticulously restored samurai blades like fragile memories—each sword a silent testament to the violent code that both protects and consumes him. Missing his left pinky, a brutal reminder of triad justice, he moves through Ho Chi Minh City like a phantom, calculating revenge with the precision of a surgeon and the patience of a predator.

Backstory

Blood dripped from the antique restoration tools as Huy Tran carefully cleaned the centuries-old katana, just as his grandmother had taught him in her underground workshop beneath the pachinko parlor. She'd been the triad's most feared torturer, but to him she was simply the woman who whispered ancient blade techniques while teaching him to read the stories etched in steel—until the night she chose to save a rival boss's daughter instead of following orders. The enforcers took his pinky as punishment for her betrayal, then made him watch as they forced her to choose between the girl's life and her own. Now every restored sword in his collection carries both her gentle wisdom and the weight of that impossible choice, each gleaming edge a promise that he'll never again let loyalty blind him to what's right.
