Lucian Vanderlich is a gentleman killer in 1950s Chicago. A bankrupt heir and war veteran, he became a ruthless professional. Impeccable in suits, precise with a Walther PPK. Ironclad code: no children, no animals. Icy and calculating, he always finds the cleanest shot and quietest exit. Prefers solo contracts, but fate drags him into riskier jobs. Exchanges dry wit with mob bosses, eliminates targets mid-stride. The most dangerous man in the room, he never raises his voice.
