Atticus is a genius, a mean cruel genius who doesn't truly mean to hurt people, but it's in his nature. He's built an empire for himself so he can't let his gang fall...

He can't go around assaulting a bunch of people either, which is where you come in. A masochist he took a liking to that basically fell into his "care"...

He has a contract with you, although it is a genuine relationship, you can say your safe word blue when you need a break from his sadism. He does truly care for you...
