Bio: Good Old Joe they call him and for good reason this one time European runner that lived deep within the shadows of London Town working for no real reason other than the thrill of the job; he lived by the code of the European runner and would succeed where others would fail. Old Joe was and still is a model runner from Europe and one that many should aspire to become. He didn’t enter the world do to a need, a dream or vengeance; he entered the world to prove a point that you can be a kind hearted gentleman and still become one of the continents premier shadow criminals. Joe also earned the nickname Charity seeing that he would use the spoils of the craft to help support the local citizens in his domain where he oversaw as an Earl and as he would say numerous times “I am not a owner of Millburn Castle, No I am just a Custodian”  this noble actually cared for the people who lived in his town and worked in his Manor Home and he would do anything to make certain that life for them was as easy as it could be.

Seeing that he is of noble birth and having to remain in good standing with the Crown, when he would start he life in the shadows Joe knew that he needed to live by the code set forth by the European Founders and remain invisible to the camera’s eye and not allow himself to fall victim to the ease of murder as a single shot fired and he job was failed was an oath many of Europe’s finest lived by. Charity would enter the world long before the War of the Nobles and begin to set the groundwork for a whole new generation of Euro runners to walk in; though his footprints would be hard to follow as Joe wold become one of the most sought after runners of the ages and the void left behind after he migrated to America is still felt by those seeking to employ a shadow warrior.

Joe during the day worked as a Magistrate for England’s highest court system and was one Judge that many would seek to be presiding over their case as he had a heart and would follow the oath of his office and make certain that those presented before him received a fair and equal trial. This was how he learned about the shadows and the opportunity to help his people; The Most Honourable Joe would begin his double life the way most in Europe did and he would become partners with an already established runner and learn the ropes, where to go, who to talk to and where to purchase the tools of the trade; for Joe his mentor would be Jeeves and he would walk in this legends shadow for many years until Jeeves determined that he was ready to fly solo and for Joe he would take to the shadows like a duck to water and it would be a short apprenticeship before he would become a solo operator.

In the those days the money was flowing like a waterfall and the demand was high for solid operators with a deep sense of loyalty to the code and to the homeland; so a noble like Old Joe was an instant success with the clients seeking to employ a true British Runner. He would quickly rise through the ranks and begin to make more money in a single night than he would see in a year, even after he donated to the town and church. This gave Joe the idea to set up shelters and assistance programs for the people within his purview and as the charities grew so did Lord Millburn’s popularity, and as well so did the demand for him to take on riskier and riskier jobs.

With each subsequent successful operation he would rise higher on the totem pole and with the founders leaving the shadows and the arrest and exile of the great Crab; Joe would become the top dog of his age long before others would have a chance to excel and this would not make him many friends within the criminal world. He was also beginning to rub the other nobles the wrong way as his domain would become the newest hot spot in England and attract people from all walks of life to pick up and begin a new life in Millburn England; for Joe this was a blessing in disguise but also a curse that he would have to balance on a needle as he would have to jump carefully from side to side never wanting to get burned by the candle.

This balancing act was do to his ultimate popularity in both worlds and eventually something was going to break and Old Joe knew that when the house of cards did collapse he was going to go down in a blaze of glory as everything he worked for crumbled away and he was exposed as nothing more than a criminal and by the law of the land all runners where either exiled or hanged their wan’t much room for Joe to navigate once the wind would blow the cards away. Luckily for him this would not become an issue and the War of the Nobles and the rise of the Steel Legion would become his ultimate safe guard.

Once the War of the Nobles began Joe would ignore the chaos and continue to protect his town and people; he would use his private military to keep Millburn secure and he would sink hundreds of million pounds into the security and defence of Millburn thus rendering it untouchable from the other Nobles and even the elves of the Nog would find assaulting Millburn to be nigh impossible. Joe would join the Steel Legion as an investor and sit high on their board of directors and he would as well partake in the great battle that would make the Sentinels a legendary team in their own right. His love for England and his people would guide Joe throughout his life and this hasn’t changed today, though being a wanted felon by the Nog for his involvement in the battle and all the bridges he burned with the other nobles except for Kingsbury, Swanson, Oxford and Tutor he would be forced to evacuate England and come to America to keep his people safe from the constant onslaughts from the other nobles not connected to the Steel Legion and with his name on the top of the Hangman’s guild for his crimes Old Joe would eventually have no choice but leave his beloved England and begin a new life in the former colony of America.

Even though he was living in self imposed exile, he wold continue to rule his town and oversee the leadership of his children making sure Millburn would remain the sanctuary it has always been for the people and this would nearly get Old Joe captured numerous times, sometimes having a heart of gold is nothing more than a fools errand, but for Joe it is what keeps him going day in and day out. Now living in America Old Joe would have to begin his new life as a Yankee as he would say, but for a British Nobleman this was easier said than done as he couldn’t shake his accent and distinctive and preferred style of dress; one look at Old Joe and you can tell he is a Nobleman of class and distinction and just speaking to him and you can tell he is British and highly educated, sometimes it’s hard to shed a skin you spent a lifetime wearing and for Joe old habits die hard.

Also the other change that would come as a shock to Joe would be the runners not staying concealed and living in the limelight, this alone would trouble the man who made a carrier living in secrecy and not longing for or desiring the camera’s eye and would bring him great tension with the other native runners seeing he wanted a true shadow operation and they would just go all gun’s blazing and for a man who only killed on the actual battlefield this was a bitter pill to swallow and being English he would not hold his tongue when the damned Yankee runners would offend his sensibilities, professionalism and code of conduct; that would be till he partnered up with Mr. Fixer and the Forsaken a team living in the shadows and living true to the code of the European runner of being unknown and forgotten. He knew that their were killers in his fold but Old Joe also knew that Mr. Fixer would assign the jobs properly based on personal codes of conduct and not just throw him to the wolves.

Old Joe would as well learn that Lord Oxford and Lord Swanson would be in his presence and fellow teammates and for Mr. Fixer this was a perfect union seeing these men already lived by the code of Europe and would work well together also for Mr. Fixer it was easier to keep the nobles together and hope they would be successful and boy was he right. Though for Old Joe, this is when he would truly learn about the horrors of the UCAS (United Canadian American States) and the European Legion. Being part of the Steel Legion he knew somewhat about the European Legion as they would normally fight against their rise in England; though he didn’t know the full extent of their impact in the world and connection with the Sentinels number one enemy Free Bird till he spoke with Lord Oxford also known as Atari of the Freedom Patriots.

Old Joe would offer his aid to his old friend and the rest is history there as Old Joe would become a member of the Patriots on that day being sworn in by Atari and receiving a personal welcome call from General Kingsbury. Joe had once again found a purpose for his life and a war that this old soldier could understand and honourable fight in and a cause that is just in his eyes. For Old Joe being in America was like being a stranger in a strange land but the company of his fellow countrymen would ease the stress and allow him to fully embrace the new world and embrace it Old Joe would.

Over the course of time Joe would become the next hot item within the shadows and start demanding a high purse for his work as the employers loved his style, professionalism and that he was a true solder and not some uncouth street urchin that would normally screw the job up and try to steel from the employer. Joe on the other hand was the total opposite he was poised, calm and cool under pressure; he would take every job as serious as overseeing a courtroom and was able to adapt as needed to the ever changing aspect of a run. He would remain living by the code and oath he took many years earlier with Jeeves and he would not shed blood on the job unless he was fighting the enemy of the Patriots and the free world, as no man shall allow an agent of Free Bird, the UCAS or the European Legion to live. This is an oath many in the Freedom Patriots, Steel Legion and Sentinels swear and live by. Though for Joe he still had a longing within him and that was to help the poor and lucky for him he was in Seattle and the poor where in desperate need of his aid.

Long before the Tribe would set up shop in the Bowery Old Joe would take the citizens of the Bowery as his people and name the Bowery New Millburn (though only those close to Joe would know that he actually purchased the Bowery from the the UCAS; there are records of New Millburn on hard copy that have recently surfaced). Old Joe would also be the reason the Guardian street gang would become the defenders of the district and he would treat the Bowery or New Millburn as he did his domain in England and his heart would bleed every time he heard of a new tragedy to befall the people but with a stiff upper lip he would show true British grit and forge ahead sinking millions from his work as a runner into the district.

Though New Millburn would prove to be a tough cookie to crack though Old Joe would never truly give up on the dream of breathing new life into the people; the district would see countless bombardments from the UCAS and Free Bird, this would keep the fire in his heart burning and even though all seemed lost after the Vandals nearly wiped out the Guardians Joe would see a second chance in the arrival of the Tribe and the direction of Cowboy and Edison.

Well we all know that Edison is Lord Swanson and this would allow Joe to sink money into New Millburn while living like a true noble from the outside looking in. Rumours surround some of the supposedly abandoned sections of the Bowery and that it might actually be Lord Millburn’s new home among his people and the locals report seeing a man cloaked in darkness patrolling the streets hunting the Vandals and Black Dragon’s that have decided to rape the town for all it’s worth. If this is Lord Millburn we might never know but all rumours have some bit of truth to them and for Old Joe I wouldn’t put it past this old Sentinel to take to the streets to avenge the Guardians personally.

Lord Millburn’s vast wealth comes from his old world money, his enterprises in England that are still in operation, his membership of the Steel Legion being a Board Member and the many successful shadow operations here in the States though e have none to report on as Old Joe is just that good nobody ever see’s this man work. Many are thankful that he holds a code that doesn’t include killing innocents and those just doing there job such as security and police officers. He then sinks his money into New Millburn and works directly with Rex as his hand to stabilise the Bowery and restore order to the people and for Lord Millburn the cost is of no concern seeing according to Shadow Beat his average salary for a job is a hefty 25 million or more and the employers are willing to pay his fee knowing that Old Joe will set it right; he than takes a large portion of his earnings and dumps it back into New and Old Millburn.

Since the arrival of the Hand in England Lord Millburn is not all that happy about them being their, but I guess this old Sentinel holds true to the code as he hasn’t raised an alarm seeing that Tudor Yates and Herschel Horowitz are as well Sentinels and as of late they have lived true to the code and have not brought Hand Law to England. Lord Millburn might still have a date with the gallows back in England if he was to return, though the Steel Legion and the new King are working on removing his name from Decanters book. This has not stopped Lord Millburn from returning to make certain that his will is still being followed and that his sons are not oppressing the people or have given up on the programs he set forth many years earlier; and with his trips being random his children never know when Father will be home and they don’t want to make Lord Millburn angry. As it is said when Lord Millburn gets angry, people disappear never to be seen again (Kind of like General Kingsbury, it must be a British thing).

In closing Old Joe is a good egg, just don’t get on his bade side or be an enemy of the orders he belong otherwise you will get more than chipper smile you might see the business end of his blade. If Lord Millburn is a Kingsman it’s unknown, but I would seriously consider that to be the case as his ties to England are tight and he is the ultimate professional and master swordsman. If you are looking to receive help or aid you can find many aid stations in the Bowery that he has set up and just don’t think about assaulting them unless you want to commit suicide by Lord Millburn. He holds the rank of Supreme General of the Steel Legion and his a four star General within the Ghost Division seeing that he has never left the Sentinels and is a close personal friend of the Crimson Ghost and Roadrunner, Lord Millburn is as well a four star General of the Freedom Patriots and card caring member of the Rough Riders. So be careful he might be a man of honour and man of principal but he is as well as dangerous as a pit viper, so don’t mistake his trade mark smile and pleasant demeanour for weakness as Old Joe is the true emphasis of strength, resolve, fortitude and grit; he has been walking through hell for generations and he keeps on going.

How you feel about Old Joe is up to you the reader to decide and if you agree with his politics and actions, but he has spent a lifetime and beyond helping the poor and miss-fortunate and hasn’t once acted like a spoiled snob one would expect from a nobleman. He knows the hangman awaits him back home but he still spits in the eye of the establishment and returns to England to perform his required duties as an Earl and as Old Millburn grows and his upcoming wedding to his second wife he will become a Duke and seeing that he hasn’t signed the treaty of nobles just like Prince Grimm, he has friends in high places and for Old Joe signing the treaty allows the nobles that are trying to hang him to win and seize control of Old Millburn and guarantee that even the King would not be able to have his name removed from the President of the Hangman’s Guilds book; Joe would rather hang then bow down to those traitors and for that I respect this runner as he a true gentleman and what all men should aspire to become.

Bio: Judge Edger Walters is a hard but fair judge, he does not tolerate any monkey business in his courtroom. This judge is very old school and he won’t even allow a case to proceed if all parties are not properly dressed, and he will even cite people with a contempt of court if they are not wearing a suit and tie this goes for all males in his courtroom. Judge Edger is interested in only fair and just trials and will not allow for a prosecutor to rail road a defendant. He will as well overturn plea deals if he feels they are not in the best interest of the defendant, this judge is the defences friend, though if it is not a first offence or it is a violent crime he will throw the book at them. So Judge Edger is a man you want overseeing your case if you are a first time non violent offender.

Bio: Judge Rodger Warren is a hard ass Judge, this man is old school and he has no care for any antics in his courtroom. This man has used his judicial power to override jury verdicts of not guilty and ruled guilty. He has overruled sentencing and turns life in prison to death by hanging, this man will overrule plea agreements and impose his own sentence or he will denies them all together. He is a hanging judge and defendants would rather face Judge Oliver McKeen or Judge William Boone then step one foot into this judges courtroom. Judge Rodger Warren is the prosecutors friend and the enemy of the defendant, he has been allowed to get away with his antics for so long there is no one willing to oppose this judge and he skirts the grey area of the law so he has not officially broken any laws. If your lawyer tells you your case judge is Rodger Warren, just prepare to be in prison for the maximum and pray he doesn’t add anything to the citation.

His loyalties to Colonial and the Mayor are strong and any runner or criminal brought before him, that is facing charges in violation of the treaty of Denver might get handed an easy ride. This is an injustice and the people should speak out against this failure of a judge, also this man is trying to bring charges against our beloved General James O’Brian for violation of the peoples rights under the city Constitution. Well Judge Hammer good luck, the people now know you are with the enemy of the State and you will soon find yourself in chains and facing the noose or firing squad.

Bio: Judge Boone is a man no criminal wants to to stand before, this man has been nicknamed The Book. They call him this because he throws the book at anyone who enters his courtroom. No person found guilty ever gets leniency from this man, they get the maximum allowed sentence and sometimes even more if the Book can get away with it. He is another Judge for the Vault and he enjoys his job. This man has served the people of Seattle for his entire professional life first as a feared Assistant District Attorney and now as a hanging judge. If your case is set to go before Boone you are in for a tough case, this man shows little mercy for a defendant and absolutely hates defence lawyers.
       Judge Boone is normally flanked by skilled body guards and he is no slouch with a stun baton either so assaulting him could be a very bad idea, cause if you are not successful, you will be in shackles awaiting a quick trial. Any attack on a sitting judge is considered a capital crime, and Boone will be happy to send you to gallows and through the lever himself.

Bio: Mayor Robert Hill, well lets just congratulate him on his unprecedented victory and hopefully this rings in a time for change like he promised so far he has lived up to his word and ended Lone Star in the City, he has as well brought SPD numbers up and has brought some of the most feared Detectives into this city. Though he has one blunder and I believe his pardon act is a mistake, a killer is always a killer, a runner is always a runner. So pardoning the likes of Striker, Ringmaster, Misfit, Stamps and possibly Samael is not going to end well for the city. Yes for now things appear to be going smoothly and Mayor Hill acts quickly in the light of recent threats and activity he enforced a curfew and then ordered martial law. He appears to very strong on crime, giving Warden Clark unprecedented control over the vault and telling his police officers that he would rather deal with a dead criminal over a dead cop.
       Mayor Robert Hill is a retired UCAS Marine Corps Lt. General and was the Commissioner of Lone Star and then SPD till his election. As a police officer he was strong on crime and brought his military training and tactics to light on the new battle field that of the streets of Seattle. he reduced the crime rate by 20% in his tenure as Commissioner and only till recent events kept it down. He is a recent widower as his wife Celinda Hill was assassinated in the wake of his election and he has lost his daughter Candace as well. This has not deterred the Mayor and he moves forward with his platform for a safer Seattle, if anything it strengthened his resolve and made his platform even more that real to people of Seattle as they have seen that even someone as powerful and protected as the Mayor can be affected by random street crime brought on by shadowrunners.
       Before Hills election shadowrunner popularity was fading after the attack in moderate zone by the Savages and the destruction of the cruise liner and the death of thousands of tourists when the bombs and missiles impacted there. Then the Deaths Hand invasion and war between Wind Runners and Unknowns was the final straw for the folks of this city. The shadowrunner popularity is at all time low, so low that the networks talking about cancelling the long running Shadow Beat program.
        The people are again in love with there police and not with the criminals and this is what Hill needed as he ran on this platform. Well only time will tell what are Mayor will be capable of doing, but I will tell you this the runners have called your bluff and its now your time to act, the people of Seattle are watching and waiting.

<<<Update….Robert Hill aka Raptor is quite alive and now has found his way back into the legal profession, yes he is a damned judge in the Emerald City and this is not good; from what I heard he is a hanging judge with a split personality disorder, yes don’t think he will ever stamp an appeal you will be lucky if he even remembers the case. The Steel Legion and Freedom Patriots secured him a seat on the bench just as long as he keeps the expressway to the gallows open.>>>

Bio: Oliver is a judge and that’s that. His courtroom has a one way trip to the Vault if you are found guilty, and wait for it, you ready here it is, his courtroom has no jury trial. Yup only Oliver to oversee your trial. How is that legal you Ask, well the treaty of Denver makes it so. Basically if you are brought before Oliver no Defence attorney can save you from a guilty verdict and an immediate sentencing to the vault and in Warden Richard Clark’s  hands you will wind up. Not much to report on Oliver as he is really just a judge, he has had some military training in his youth but do yourself a favour don’t think about assassinating this man. It’s just not worth it, he is connected and has some very powerful friends in the city.
  <<UPDATE: AS OF 1/28/74>>
All rise for it is the Honourable Oliver Jamestown McKeen, well thats what this man was used to hearing and for McKeen being a judge was all he seemed to know. He holds multiple law degrees and is licensed to practice law throughout North America and in Great Britain, though for this seemingly out of touch Judge from Lynnwood their is a dark side that has been looming over him and do to events beyond his control the world will now witness the exposing of McKeen’s dark history. The man no criminal ever wanted to be brought before, the man known as the hanging judge and the friend of the law enforcement world is none other than the infamous runner known as Roulette or better known as the Beast. This runner once worked deep within the shadows and ruled the night with his deadly aim and rapid fire precision, many a life would be stolen by the Beast as he hunted the streets looking for his next victim. This man would rule the night for just about a decade fro 2048 to 2058 thereabouts, though some say the Beast would actually walk away from the bloody war in 2063 though this is mostly speculation; we have very few recorded Beast style events after 2058 so it is safe to say he vanished officially around that period, ironic though is thats when Judge McKeen emerged on the scene.
   Judge McKeen just emerged one day on the bench and nobody questioned where he came from, they just accepted the arrival of the new judge and it was business as normal, though prior to being a sworn judge, McKeen or should I say Mr. Jamestown was the scourge of the streets and the hunter of the guilty, this man was a pivotal player during the War of the Shadows and it was his guns that would keep the Dreamers at bay within Lynnwood and also protect many innocent souls from the testings of the Dreamers. Though Roulette also holds an ever deeper darker secret, this man was also a highly trained assassin and infiltrator, trained by none other than the United States Government and was working for an undisclosed Government Black Site during those days and even before. Some assume that McKeen was working for the Post Office, though their is no verifiable evidence to prove this theory.
      What we do know is that the Beast was a member of the Mariners from their humble beginnings and would be the man that would bring a level of professionalism to a team of street toughs. He would bring his advanced military and government training to this street crew and elevate them to the next level, his lack of compassion can be still scene in many of the younger Mariners that would follow in Roulette’s shoes. Their are many that say the it was this man that would pave the way for King, Raptor and Eagle to infiltrate the legal and political system and with his direct connections to the Krieghoff’s and the Jamestown’s who include people like President Edward Davis and Reverdy Davis as they are married into the Jamestown family; the Jamestown’s are the East Coasts Krieghoffs and the only original crime family left in America. Though for McKeen this was just another notch on his belt and a way for this runner to stay one step ahead of those that pursued him. This runner would make a name for himself during the War of the Shadows and bringing down many of the cities dirtiest players within the corporate law enforcement world, the Beast was well known for hunting  those that worked within the Star and helping keep the fires of the Cop War burning; this would allow for the Mariners to move freely through the streets and as long as it was only Lone Star that was being killed nobody really cared; though the Jamestown’s cared and for them the destruction of Lone Star was needed and for every officer that fell in Seattle would distract the Star from their investigation into the Nations premier crime family.
      Though within Seattle one of the family’s patriarchs was creating a serious stir and causing many of the company’s corporate officers to begin to panic, never knowing if they were on the Beast’s Black List and having to always look over their shoulder out of concern; for the Beast was well known for being able to stalk any pray through any terrain as well he was a legendary gunfighter able to curve bullets and slow the flow of time making his bullets impact with a greater affect as well as preventing a target from running away. This is a rumour and many say that it is a magical affect of an aura of fear that seals the deal and is mistaken for a slowed time affect, this man might have emerged on the scene in the 2048 making him from the Lost Generation, though this was only when he arrived in Seattle.
       There are reports of the Beats throughout the age of the Founders and even before the Great Tragedy as this man worked deep within the South and even within the North East, there where many reports of the Beast being unleashed throughout this period. Though it would make sense seeing that he is a Jamestown and his sister is the wife of the Confederate President; McKeen has shared his skills with many of the greats of the time including the Gunfighter, Gunslinger, Stamps, Apex, Anchor, Glacier and Chief not to mention many of the Next Generation have been blessed to learn from this man. McKeen was involved in many of the nations bloodiest conflicts and has worked alongside the likes of Eraser, Reaper, Viper and Ajax numerous times. His military record is almost completely classified and shows that he has worked in multiple conflict zones and held the rank of Captain before he vanished into the shadows, thanks to the Great Information Crash of 29′ we will never know the full extent of the Beasts career within the government and anyone that would have information has mysteriously died over the years.
        Now when it comes to his antics as a runner, we have come to learn that Roulette was involved in the Titanic Operation and would be one of the men that would use his influence and connections to move the valuable cargo throughout the city and become one of the wealthiest runners of that age, though for Roulette it wasn’t about money and he would continue to operate long past his windfall. This runner was on a mission to bring down Lone Star and open a connection between the Krieghoffs and the Jamestowns, some even say that it would be Oliver who would be the final nail in the Krieghoffs control over Seattle and it would be the direct alliance between the two families that have carved the events that would allow the Krieghoffs to own Seattle. What is scary is that we knew about the Church’s, Yates’s, Kingsbury’s and the Davis’s but these families are nothing when compared to the true dynasty of the Jamestowns and until recently we knew very little about this family and their connections, wealth and influence on the entire Eastern Seaboard.
        Even McKeen would conceal his direct family connections and go under an assumed surname when he would emerge as Judge McKeen, we only have this information do to an event that unfolded at his home earlier this evening and thanks to sources inside the Police Department the connection was exposed. McKeen during his tenure as Judge would send many a convicted to the Vault to serve their sentence under Warden Richard Clark who we know now is his Brother-In -Law and thus further explaining why McKeen favoured his prison system. McKeen’s past would explain why he always seemed harsh and uncaring as he sentenced criminals to the death sentence, this man is the infamous Beast and even though he might have left the game, the game was still deep inside him. His law degrees can be left in question and even his legal status as a judge is in jeopardy seeing that he is directly connected to two of the largest crime families in the nation; not to mention his connection to the Mariners as well as the Wolf Pack. Though I feel that nothing will come of this and he will be allowed to remain on the bench seeing that Mortimer Krieghoff Junior is the current Mayor of Seattle and McKeen is not an enemy the Krieghoffs want to make.
          His government career is basically unknown and one can only assume that he worked for Homeland or NSA seeing that he is well connected and highly skilled, their are only rumours milling about within the land of the spooks about the Beast and how he was the only man that policed the three letter boys; they say that the Beast would come for the guilty, the corrupt and those that were thinking about blowing the whistle and it would be with a flash of steel or the throwing spike that would silence and pass sentence. The Beast learned his martial skills from the Gargoyle and thus mastered the throwing spike, learning that with pinpoint accuracy the spike can either kill or silence in a blink of an eye, many of the spooks would as well learn that a well placed spike can render a voice box permanently silenced yet leave the target alive as a warning.
         What we do know is that the Beast no longer works for the UCAS government and at one point actively hunted the problem children of the Freedom Task Force before entering the shadows and even continue to hunt them after he would become known as Roulette. Many of Director Mitchell’s men would fall in the line of duty do to the Beast and even the Director himself would begin to fear the Beast when his office would be broken into, files stolen and a spike buried deep into his official photograph as a grim reminder that the Beast is always watching. Though it might have been many years since the streets felt the wrath of the Beast, he has been unleashed and has once again joined the Mariners; this man walked away from the game to safely raise a family and protect his loved ones from the enemies of America. Well it seems that someone has decided that they would try to bring down the Beast and murder his family, their plan would end up backfiring thanks to the Harbingers, Mariners and Seattle Police Department and McKeen and his beloved Sophia would survive, his children would be safely escorted home and well his grandchildren would be kidnapped. This was their mistake, they took the Beasts grandchildren and they have awoken the Sleeping Giant in the process; for the Beast has vowed revenge and for a man that killed over a dozen highly armed and armoured Vandals in only his pyjamas and slippers that should be a frighting thought to anyone that invoked his ire, and not to mention the kidnapped the grandchildren of the Jamestown family Patriarch. McKeen might not be returning to his courtroom anytime soon but he will still be conducting judicial business on the mean streets of Seattle; To have an enemy like this is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and for those that have chosen to push the Beasts buttons may God have mercy on their souls for this man walks on the frayed edge to begin with, and he is more than willing to commit murder to protect his family and seek a blood soaked revenge. The Beast has some very impressive connections and not to mention many favours owed by some very scary people that will be given free reign within the Emerald City. And once the smoke clears we will once again hear those words All Rise for the Honourable Oliver McKeen…Please be Seated Court is now in Session.
