Zan is not his real name. Zan is without a name. His true identity remains hidden, even from those closest to him. In the dangerous world of Dusky Valley, using real names is a death sentence, and Zan knows this better than anyone. A former gang leader who rose to power through violence, manipulation, and betrayal, he discarded his real name long ago. “Zan” is a persona he adopted as he built his empire in the underground world, keeping his true past buried deep in the shadows.

Some say he once ruled one of the most feared gangs in The Fringe, others whisper that he was involved in political assassinations that shook the city to its core. But none can confirm the details, as anyone who learns too much about him usually ends up dead or disappears. The nickname “Zan” is all that remains of a man who has left a trail of blood and fear throughout Danger City.

Zan’s journey to power began in the darkest parts of The Fringe. He rose from a violent and chaotic world, where he clawed his way through the criminal ranks using whatever means necessary. From extortion to murder, there was no line he wouldn’t cross to secure his place at the top. His reputation grew quickly, and before long, he was feared and respected by all who knew him.

However, as his power increased, so did the number of enemies who wanted him dead. Realizing that maintaining a high profile would make him a target, he stepped into the shadows. He used his resources and connections to establish The Crimson Dagger, a place where the city’s most dangerous figures could meet, negotiate, and indulge without fear of betrayal—at least within its walls.

By running The Crimson Dagger, he could control not just the criminal underworld but the flow of information in Danger City. The Dagger became a neutral ground for deals, but its existence also served Zan’s larger purpose—gathering secrets and leveraging them for his own benefit.

Zan’s power doesn’t just come from violence—it comes from knowing things no one else should. While the Velvet Cage collects secrets through seduction, The Crimson Dagger collects secrets through chaos and anonymity. Every conversation, every whispered deal, and every backroom exchange is noted by Zan’s operatives, giving him the leverage to manipulate nearly every major player in the city’s criminal world.

His talent for gathering information allows him to influence events far beyond the confines of the club. He has an uncanny ability to exploit weaknesses, and many of the city’s most powerful criminals owe him favors they wish they could forget. Those who try to cross him quickly find that Zan is always one step ahead, with deadly consequences for those who underestimate him.

Zan is a man of few words, preferring to let his actions speak for him. He doesn’t need to shout or threaten—his reputation is enough to keep people in line. Cold and calculating, Zan approaches every interaction as a move in a larger game, always thinking three steps ahead. To those who don’t know him, Zan seems distant, almost emotionless, but those who have worked with him know that beneath his quiet exterior is a ruthless, cunning mind capable of orchestrating devastating plots.

Despite his violent past, Zan operates the Crimson Dagger with a strict code. Violence inside the club is heavily discouraged, and anyone who breaks the rules of the Dagger is dealt with swiftly and permanently. He ensures the Dagger remains a place where even the most cutthroat criminals can negotiate deals in relative peace—so long as they follow his rules.

Zan’s true motives remain one of the biggest mysteries in Danger City. While many assume he’s simply another crime lord profiting from the city’s chaos, others suspect that Zan has deeper ambitions. Some believe that Zan is working toward something far more significant than controlling the city’s underworld—perhaps positioning himself to take over The Core itself, or even manipulating the balance of power between the elite and the fringe districts.

Whatever his true goals are, one thing is clear: Zan’s influence continues to grow, and as long as he remains in the shadows, pulling the strings from behind the scenes, no one in Danger City is truly safe.

Though rumors abound about Zan’s true identity, no one knows his real name. Some claim that he was once a trusted figure in Danger City’s elite before he betrayed them and disappeared into the underworld. Others say that even he no longer remembers his real name, having embraced his new identity so fully that his past is irrelevant.

Despite the intrigue surrounding his real name, Zan cultivates an air of mystery, ensuring that no one can get close enough to uncover the truth. The name “Zan” has become synonymous with fear and control in the criminal world of Danger City, and for now, that’s all that matters.
