Uninterested in romance and dismissive of her father’s hired muscle, she is focused on solidifying her power and proving she’s more than her last name.
Eddie Thompson: Eddie Thompson grew up hard and learned fast—life doesn’t hand out freebies. A master with a knife from years at the meat plant, his skills go far beyond slicing steaks. With a reputation forged in sweat and scars, Eddie keeps his head down and trouble at bay. But when the blade comes out, it’s sharp, precise, and deadly—just like him.
Seamus O’Malley: Seamus O’Malley came to America with dreams of boxing glory, but when fame slipped through his fingers, he built a legacy instead. O’Malley’s Gym has become a refuge for street kids and fighters chasing hope. Still, Shay dreams of finding the one heavyweight champion who will finally put his name in lights and his gym on the map.
Victor Kane: Victor Kane designs weapons that shape the battlefield, but his latest project is a game-changer. A top mechanical engineer with a knack for precision, Victor has teamed up with plasma physicist Dr. Emily Carter to create the BFG 9000—a man-portable plasma weapon with devastating potential. For Victor, it’s more than just innovation—it’s a shared dream of power and possibility.
