Mithras was correct. Gangs had always existed, forming around brotherly bonds, and reflecting the needs of their communities. But without fail, they would eventually get twisted by the corrupt and crooked, devolving into mobs of self-serving criminals.
And in the Purple Dawn Continent, the man who caused the deviancy, perverting the original purpose and ideals of the first gangs…is none other than Hakim: the original gangster.
Just like Mithras, and most of the Fylkirs, really, Hakim was born in the little place that is now called Ravenwood. Raised by the struggle, bred by the streets, with pain as his wage, and filth as his surroundings.
Human, he fought all his life to make something of himself, only to realize that he'd followed his grandfather into madness and sold his soul to the Devil to become a hopeless abomination. For indeed, what is the Weaver…if not the Devil?
