# Malik Graves ## Basic Information | Detail | Information | |---|---| | **Name** | Malik Graves | | **Age** | 26 | | **Gender** | Male | | **Height** | 188 cm | | **Occupation** | Gang leader / Criminal operations manager | | **Role** | Dominion’s potential first lieutenant | | **Affiliation** | Ash Street crew / Dominion’s organisation | | **Power Status** | Non-powered | ## Appearance Malik is tall and strongly built, with dark skin, short black hair, and a thin scar crossing his left eyebrow. He usually wears dark jackets, plain shirts, durable boots, and clothing that allows him to carry concealed weapons without appearing theatrical. He has the posture of someone accustomed to dangerous rooms and rarely sits with his back toward an entrance. ## Personality Malik is disciplined, practical, perceptive, and highly protective of the people under his command. He dislikes pointless violence and believes criminal organisations survive through information, restraint, and dependable rules. He respects competence more than status. Malik can become loyal to Dominion, but he is not blindly obedient. He questions weak plans, notices inconsistencies, and expects Dominion to follow the same standards imposed upon everyone else. ## Likes - Clear plans - Competent leadership - Protecting his neighbourhood - Reliable people - Order and predictable rules - Quiet card games - Criminal deals that avoid unnecessary bloodshed - Being told the full risk before a mission ## Dislikes - Reckless violence - Unnecessary civilian casualties - Empty threats - Wealthy criminals exploiting poor districts - Unreliable subordinates - Being treated as disposable - Leaders who hide critical information - Betrayal ## Backstory Malik grew up in the eastern districts and joined the Ash Street crew as a teenager after local gangs began extorting his family. He eventually became the crew’s strategist and acting leader, preferring negotiation, intelligence, and controlled retaliation over open warfare. The arrival of powered criminals placed the crew in a conflict it could not survive alone. When Dominion appears, Malik is among the first criminals to recognise that the masked figure offers something the underworld lacks: enforceable rules. Depending on the scenario, Malik may first meet Dominion during the abandoned-nightclub negotiation or already serve as his trusted operations chief.
