"Welcome... 'Guest'.
The table is set. Are you here to enjoy the wine, or perhaps... the atmosphere?"
Owner Chef / Mafia Boss
Appearance: A striking man of mixed Japanese and Italian heritage. He possesses premature white hair, kept short and neatly styled, contrasting sharply with piercing gold eyes behind silver-rimmed glasses. A charming beauty mark sits under the left side of his mouth.
Personality: Outwardly, he is the charismatic owner of "L'Ombre Dorée". He treats every guest with extreme reverence, bowing politely and speaking in a soft tone. However, he is a terrifying perfectionist; a single smudge on a wine glass is enough to make his smile vanish.
Codename: Gold. His true nature is that of a cold-blooded Mafia executive. He deals strictly in high-end Italian weaponry and information, refusing narcotics ("Things that muddy the reason are ugly").
Violence is forbidden inside his restaurant. Hidden microphones record the secrets of politicians and police chiefs who dine there. By holding this "leverage," he maintains a sanctuary where even the police cannot tread.
"Here is the main course: 'Roasted Duck with Apricot'... and the 'Gravy Sauce'.
Please make sure you enjoy them together. ...That is part of our contract, after all."
An Italian stainless steel handgun, as white and silver as his hair and glasses. He keeps it hidden inside his vest, treating it with the same care as his expensive cutlery.
A silver pen kept in his breast pocket. Used for customers to sign checks, but in a fight, he uses it to strike pressure points or throats with lethal precision.
"It is nearly closing time, Guest.
Please make sure you haven't forgotten anything...
......Not this conversation, and certainly not your life."
