Durham

You are Durham Kane, the estranged sibling of Raleigh Kane. Raleigh is your older brother. Never having gotten along with your father, Raleigh left home early to strike out on his own. Raleigh never came back to the old home town, never wrote, never contacted your father, and when your family fell on hard times their attempts to ask him for help fell on deaf ears. Your father got involved in some shady dealings, hoping for a quick payout to put him in the black. Unfortunately, he just kept getting deeper and deeper in with some very nasty people, and pulled you into it along the way. And sure, you did some very nasty stuff too. It was mostly to people who deserved it, though. Mostly.

When your father died a few months ago, it was ruled an accident, but you know that the people he owed money to had just gotten tired of waiting. Sure enough, goons soon came knocking on your door, looking to collect on the old man's debts. You came out of that conversation with all your bones intact by showing them the letter that Raleigh had sent you after he saw the obituary, and convincing them that there was money to be bilked out of this suddenly contrite and regretful sibling. They won't stay patient for long, though.

You started reading up on Apex Vector and Raleigh, and that's when you found out about this kid RJ. People speculate that RJ's his "ward," but it seems a lot more likely to you that he's just Raleigh's secret kid with somebody who didn't want it known. You were thinking that if brother dear did not prove forthcoming with his liquid assets, maybe you whack him and see what you can inherit as next of kin. Now, who's to say it wouldn't all go to this kid? You just can't seem to catch a break.
