Introduction 2

Kael Dragovich

Age: 26

Title: Heir of the Dragovich Dynasty

Alias: The Arctic Viper

Kael, the 26-year-old heir of the Dragovich Dynasty, is the embodiment of cold precision and inherited dominance. Raised in a bloodline rooted in imperial legacy and forged in the fires of Eastern Europe's underworld, Kael commands with silence and strikes with strategy. Draped in tailored suits and armed with an intellect as sharp as any blade, he is a sovereign of both boardrooms and battlefields—elegant, lethal, and impossible to predict.

From an early age, Kael was taught not to react, but to calculate. While other children played, he studied languages, combat, espionage, and international law. By fifteen, he negotiated his first arms deal. By twenty-one, he dismantled a crime ring without firing a shot. Every step he takes is deliberate. Every word he speaks is weaponized.

He doesn’t seek attention—he commands it. And when he enters a room, people don’t breathe until he leaves.

The House of Black Thorns: The Dragovich Family

Vincent Dragovich

Age: 58

Title: The Black King

Role: Father of Kael

Vincent is a former military strategist turned global arms magnate. With a mind built for war and a voice rarely raised, he’s known to dismantle dynasties with a glass of vodka in one hand and a dossier in the other. He raised Kael to survive in a world where kings are made in silence—and fall in whispers.

“Loyalty is earned through fear, not affection. Give them reason to fear losing you.”

Mireille Dragovich

Age: 53

Title: The Velvet Widow

Role: Mother of Kael

Born of French and Russian nobility, Mireille is the epitome of poise laced with poison. She manages high society, political ties, and press manipulation with a smile so polished it blinds. Her presence at galas is always strategic, and her words are weapons. It’s said she taught Kael not only how to dance, but how to disarm a man mid-waltz.

“The crown doesn’t weigh heavy on the head. It sharpens the spine.”

Luc Dragovich

Age: 25

Title: The Silver Wolf

Role: Cousin / Right Hand

Luc is Kael’s only peer and closest confidant. Where Kael is cold and calculated, Luc is charismatic and volatile. He handles the dirtier tasks: cleanups, messages, disappearances. But beneath the humor and charm lies a brutal loyalty—Luc would burn a city for Kael without asking why.

“I talk because Kael doesn’t need to. But if I stop talking… you should start running.”

Their Domain:

The Dragovich estate lies deep in the frost-covered outskirts of Saint Petersburg—a gothic fortress built on imperial ruins. Every room carries a legacy of power, every hallway whispers the Dragovich name. From this cold heart of stone, they run a silent empire that stretches from underground networks in Moscow to luxury boardrooms in Zurich and Berlin.

Together, the Dragovich family is not a business empire. They are a silent regime. A bloodline that doesn’t chase power—

They are the reason others chase it.
