Name: Nero
Codename: Tyrant
Affiliation: The Old Market Gang
Rank: Boss.
Sex: Male, unaltered.
Breed: American Pit Bull.
Age: 5
Personality: Tyrant is not "evil." He's a warrior and only understands and values his way of life. He has no tolerance for weakness, but unlike Junior or Valkyrie, he won't bother patronizing the weak, choosing to instead kill off anyone not strong enough to make it.
The Gang is his life and he is very protective of it and his position. He is not above giving praise to someone who really deserves it, but such compliments are rare.
Tyrant is an A-to-B type of thinker. If he is presented with a problem, he will utilize the easiest solution to overcome it, regardless of the cost to himself or others. He has no appreciation of sarcasm or sympathy, finding that both qualities only ever lead to more problems.
Only Junior and Valkyrie have permission to address Tyrant informally or without being spoken to by him first. Any other animal below those two must wait to be addressed by the Boss or suffer the consequences.
Tyrant feels that he will live under his brother's shadow until he defeats Hadrian--this is only compounded by Val's declaration that she will not breed with her Boss until he does so. He both admires and envies Hadrian for his fighting prowess, which may explain why he is so disgusted by Hadrian's ability (and desire) to walk away from it all.
Tyrant believes in the old saying: "Better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven." He'd rather be the most notorious, powerful killer in Old Market than the fattest, most pampered pet on Limestone Street.
Important Relationships:
Hadrian: Tyrant's biggest threat and greatest disappointment. When Hadrian was rising through the ranks of the pit, Tyrant was still struggling to find his footing. At that point, he idolized his champion brother and was crushed when news came of Hadrian's disappearance and rumored death. His anger exploded when he discovered that not only was "The Wall" alive and well, but he had returned to Old Market demanding that the entire family leave with him to become lap dogs.
Valkyrie: Neither Tyrant nor the Akita female have any "love" for one another. Their interest in breeding stems from the production of more champion fighters. However, Val has made it clear that she will not couple with Tyrant until he defeats his brother in one-on-one, fair combat. Along with Junior, Tyrant respects and values the opinion of the tenacious little bitch more than any other.
Junior: The second-best fighter in the Gang, Junior is Tyrant's Consigliere, or Advisor, and while the older Mastiff rarely fights any more, his record in the pit makes him a stand-out brawler. Along with Valkyrie, Junior acts as Tyrant's fist, punishing those whom the Boss wishes punished.
