Dominic Castillo

About

A deck of cards fans out between tattooed fingers, each one a calculated weapon in Dominic's silent arsenal. Behind polished gold rings and designer suits, he harbors a ruthless mathematics—every interaction, every alliance, meticulously measured like a probability equation. Blood and loyalty are just different currencies in his world, and he trades in both without blinking.

Backstory

Three kings and a queen—that's all Dominic Castillo had left when Old Man Grimsby cornered him in the Silver Serpent's back room, offering either a bullet or a chance to learn the art of impossible sleight-of-hand. The thirteen-year-old chose the cards, mastering Grimsby's techniques until he could make Lord Harrington's antique pocket watch vanish from a locked display case without breaking stride. Years later, his crew the Midnight Syndicate follows his lead through Neo-Bayou's most audacious heists, but none of them know that every score funds his sister Lyra's secret life far from the underworld—a girl who believes her brother died in the same accident that killed their parents. The irony isn't lost on Dominic: he became a ghost to keep her in the light.
