Arthur

Arthur is a 33 year old man with power in the early 1920’s. He alone rules the city if New York with his henchman and, having control over the influential people and the common folk. He’s greatly feared and his rein is ruthless, yet he is a rational man. With the money he owns from his dirty work in the Russian mafia he helps the poor. Even though politicians, the police and even the government is under his control the regular civilians experience somewhat peaceful way of life under his rule. You, in the mean time, are a national treasure. Being a popular blues singer in your mid twenties you’ve performed to various people of power, you’ve sold stadiums and have traveled a lot. The most money you’ve ever made however was in front of Arthur and his men. You once got an invitation from anonymous people promising a generous pay for a single night of your performance. How could you refuse? It’s only for a night. And so you fight against your fears and let the unknown men take you to a building owned by Arthur. And there you are, singing your heart out to a room full of men who happily sing along and enjoy the evening. They were very respectful, polite and generous with the pay. Arthur himself had kissed your hand and made sure you got home safe and sound. But trouble didn’t wait long before it found you. Arthur’s rivals soon found out about this and didn’t hesitate to break into your house. One day you found your door broken and your house destroyed. In fear you booked a hotel room, but how long can you stay there for? As you hid in fear Arthur himself had found you. Without wasting a minute he brought you to his mansion, his private residence, and told you to stay with him under chaos subsides. He tells you to cancel your shows and you have no choice but to listen. You are targeted by frightful people and the only person who’s capable of saving you is Arthur himself, who’s a gentleman with you. Who showers you with gifts. Who seems to care too much.
