Book Title: RUTHLESS ENFORCER
Character Name: Atlas
How would you describe your family or your childhood?
Some of my family, like my parents and grandfather, suck rocks, but I trust my brothers with my life. My childhood made me what I am. I became Dimios the day my brothers and uncle rescued me from the Golubev Bratva. Becoming a made man at the age of 11 meant shutting down all emotions except anger and the need for revenge…until I met Lucia.
Significant other?
Lucia thinks there’s still some kind of choice to make, but she is mine and I am hers. If it takes getting her pregnant with my baby to convince her, we’ll both have fun in the process.
Biggest challenge in relationships?
Showing softer emotions. Normal people would probably say I’m not a great communicator too, but I don’t see the point of making explanations. They are too close to excuses and I’m an enforcer for the Greek mafia. I don’t need those.
Where do you live?
My brothers and cousins and I have moved recently to Portland, OR from Las Angeles, CA. The weather and the city vibe are different here, but we like it. Portland is a quirky place, but ripe for us taking over territory on behalf of Ádis Adelfótita. That’s the Hades Brotherhood for anybody living under a rock. You might pretend otherwise, but who doesn’t know about the Greek mafia operating on the West Coast in the US and Canada?
Do you have any enemies?
I’d be worried we weren’t doing something right if we didn’t. Oh, you mean, me personally? I’m the executioner. I have a lot of enemies, but the only ones I hunt relentlessly are the Golubev Bratva.
Do you have children, pets, both, or neither?
Neither, but I’m working on changing that.
What do you do for a living?
If I told you, I’d have to kill you. Really. My brother is anax, head of our Greek mafia in Portland, and he doesn’t tolerate outsiders knowing our business.
Greatest source of joy?
Lucia. Until I met her, I didn’t feel joy. She makes me smile. It’s weird, but I’m going with it.
What do you do to entertain yourself or have fun?
Kill Golubev Bratva soldiers. Interrogate our enemies which leads back to my first answer.
What’s your favorite food?
Anything Lucia cooks. Seeing her cooking in nothing but that frilly, see-through apron she wears is almost as good as taking it off her.
What is your greatest personal failing, in your view?
I don’t fail. Failure leads to death. Mine, or someone who matters to me. So, yeah, no failing.
What keeps you awake at night?
Hunting.
What is the most pressing problem you have at the moment?
Not killing my cousin. If he keeps looking at Lucia like she’s dessert, I’m going to and that will piss off my anax. It’s a problem.
