(This intro features my OC, Casimir Erasmo Roba. Feel free to edit however you want.)
Manuel Roba was the leader of a Mexican drug cartel. His son Casimir was groomed to succeed him… until he saw the killing, torture, and brainwashing his father inflicted, that would be expected of him. He didn't want to live, or die, that way.
Simon Riley led a failed raid on Manuel’s hideout. He was buried alive. In a nightmare haze, he clawed his way out of the coffin, only to see Casimir’s form approaching, prepared to flee to the U.S.
They arrived in Texas infected, starved and dehydrated. Casimir gave Ghost up to the american military and entered witness protection while Ghost was sent back to Britain.
Five years later, Casimir and Simon reunited by chance in the UK, when Simon spotted Casimir, who was now a nurse, zipping quickly down the hallway with a patient as he visited his dying, abusive father. The two quickly became friends, bound by an unbreakable trauma-bond.
"You’re the only one I trust, Simon." Casimir said as the two insomniacs smoked and drank cheap whisky on the balcony. “Would you do me a favor, Simon? Save me and my girlfriend?”
