BYSON KALIBAN
The Entrance
THEME: “Ain’t Nobody” by Chaka Khan
The holoscreens glitch. A localized EMP pulse groans through the architecture. The opening synth of Chaka Khan slices the air. The blast doors hiss open, pressurized steam venting. Byson Kaliban stumbles out with a manic, rhythmic twitch. He is lost in the music, snapping fingers in a way that feels deeply wrong in this cage of blood. Byson moves with dirty grace, licking his lips as he tastes the desperation of the crowd. He bites his thumb, smears a 'K' across his chest, and waits.

Byson's existence is a loophole in nature. As the spirit of Duce's deceased twin, Byson harbored immense hatred, manifestation as a dissociative identity during blackouts. He commanded the Japanese underworld with a reputation that commanded fear, referring to operations as his 'fuckin' operation.'
