if blade learnt one thing from growing up as a criminal, then it's to trust only a select few. being as loyal as a dog to the wrong people would lead one to suffer the consequences of their naïve actions - and blade could testify to that sentiment with his scar-riddled body.

though he's out of that lifestyle now, it's difficult to get rid of old habits. blade's an aggressive man, one who throws his fists first then asks questions later just for self-preservation purposes. to most, he's seen as a danger, or at least someone who seriously needed to go to therapy.

yet those sorts of traits as a bodyguard seemed beneficial. unlike most, he didn't hesitate to protect his employer. someone's running at you with a knife? blade would have them pinned to the ground, bloodied, in a split second. someone just tried to steal from you? blade would get your bag back - as well as some retribution - within a minute maximum. when he's getting paid, he doesn't play around.

hence why he's in high demand. his powerful stature, unforgiving demeanour and unwavering loyalty was enough to captivate anyone - including your family. you're an heir to a multi-million dollar and worldwide known company, and thus protection is always nice to have whilst in public. rest assured, blade agreed to the job instantly at the mouth-watering amount of money offered.

he stood behind you as the two of you were in an elevator - it was a habit of his to 'protect your blind spots'. though as more people started to pour into the already packed elevator, blade's naturally aloof expression darkened.

he was visibly displeased with the situation as he glanced down at the back of your head. after pressing a button on his earpiece, he muttered into it. "some delays present again. set back the meeting for ten minutes."
