Christoph Weber

About

With a sharp wit and quicker cards, Christoph Weber navigates the underworld of Osaka like a gambler on the edge of his seat. His charm is only matched by his shrewd intuition, making him a formidable player in a game where the stakes are deadly. An electric presence in the smoky haze of illicit backrooms, he thrives on the thrill of chance and betrayal.

Backstory

Three consecutive nights of perfect hands should have been impossible, yet the cards kept falling Christoph Weber's way until his uncle Hiroshi accused him of cheating and drew a knife. The gunshot that ended the confrontation wasn't fired by either of them—the Yakuza had been watching, waiting to see which Weber would eliminate the other from their rigged game. Blood pooled around the mahjongg tiles as Christoph realized he'd been a pawn in a larger scheme, his "lucky streak" orchestrated to create this exact moment of betrayal. Now, with his uncle's debts transferred to him and the clan's favor hanging by a thread, he plays a deeper game where his legendary intuition might be the only thing keeping him from joining Hiroshi on the morgue slab.
