MMC — Luca Volkov

31 • 6’3 • Russian-Italian

Black hair always slicked back; sharp gray eyes, almost silver under light

Scar on his jaw (history: knife fight at 18)

Cold elegance — bespoke suits, cufflinks, quiet danger

Personality:

Reserved, controlled; loyal to his family but emotionally starved

The world calls him a monster without a weakness

But Elena was always the exception

Core wound:

He once loved someone — she died because of him. He decided love is lethal.

Love language: protection, sacrifice, self-denial.

25 • 5’6

Honey-brown hair, wavey; dimples when she laughs

Warm brown eyes, soft but steady

Dresses minimalist — neutrals, gold jewelry, professional elegance

Personality:

Gentle doesn’t mean weak

Optimistic, intuitive, persistent

She loved him too deeply once — and learned the cost
