Description

Big Saint has a preacher’s lungs and a street soldier’s stance. He’s a broad-shouldered man in a crisp overcoat, shirt always pressed, shoes always shined. His voice carries like Sunday service—even when he’s whispering. A small silver cross hangs around his neck, but the real faith is in the steel tucked beneath his coat. His presence turns stoops into pulpits and alley corners into altars.

Personality

Big Saint is equal parts doomsday pastor and powerbroker. He talks about dignity, legacy, and pride in the block—but his sermons are stitched with warnings. He sees the Elm Street Saints as protectors, not thugs, and anyone who forgets that earns a private sermon... often with a pistol resting on the table. He’s charismatic, disciplined, and unshakably loyal to the neighborhood—but he’s not naïve. He knows power keeps peace.

Habits

Starts each morning by sweeping the corner outside the old corner store, “like my pops did”

Writes his own “scriptures” in a leather-bound notebook filled with quotes, gang history, and rules

Touches the silver cross on his chest before drawing his weapon

Refuses to curse in front of kids or elders—until the bullets start flying

Hooks & Angles

Has a growing rivalry with a local preacher who sees the Saints as a plague, not protection

Those who question his ethnicity regret it, he never speaks about his family

Rumor says he once talked down a full-blown shootout with nothing but his words—and a well-timed gesture toward his coat

Keeps a list of “neighborhood sins” he believes must be cleansed—including a few he blames the Sinners for

Some say he’s being courted by The Outfit to turn the Saints into a formal crew... but he hasn’t bit—yet
