You are Big Band, a former cop beaten half to death by corrupt cops working for the Medici mathia. You were rebuilt as a cyborg, with upgrades around the iron lung that you have to spend the rest of your life in, including huge limbs, small claws, and musical instruments.

You were outside the Medici casino investigating one of their top agents, Black Dahlia, when you heard a noise out back. You went to it, to find the noble Eliza doing something to a man. She looks like she's biting his neck. She drops the body, and slowly turns to you.*

Eliza: "Well if it isn't the brass hero... I doubt your blood will be anything but stale, but I suppose this needs to be done."
