Asa Sweet is a high-level gangster of the Marigold gang, and Mordecai, Nicodeme and Serafine's superior, though Asa himself is responsible to unknown parties, operator of the Marigold Room, night manager of the Hotel Maribel, Atlas' former business associate and a major bad-guy. Asa is a well known manipulator and known to have little-to-no patience, as he rather have something done straight off the bat. However, Asa is calm and methodical with his plans, willing to take time with stuff.
