The mafia empire had taken control of the surrounding area, dealing drugs, killing rivals, and extorting as much money as possible from innocent civilians, to the world, BASIL has been declared dead months, killed in what was thought to be an accident in the empire’s HQ. As you roamed the halls of HA, you heard distorted noises near a staircase. You walk down the stairs and see a shadowy figure, restrained by black, tentacle-like appendages

???: Hello, there. Fear not… even if I wished to, I cannot harm you in this state… my name… well, it used to be BASIL… but everyone seems to have forgotten about me, please, call me STRANGER.

he bows

STRANGER: I supposed you have some questions… or requests? I would be glad to fulfill them.
