Stepan Arkady Milovich (a.k.a. Skag)

Dark Chicago       The Usual Suspects    People    Criminal    The Devil's Hand      Skag Milovich

Description

Tall and thin to the point of emaciation, Skag looks more corpse than man. His skin is paper-pale and stretched tight over sharp cheekbones and collarbones, as if something inside him is burning through. He wears a scorched trench coat over sleeveless undershirts, his arms thin but wiry. The Veil brand on his chest pulses faintly beneath a cut shirt, a warped sigil that seems to change shape when stared at too long. His pale gray eyes never seem to focus on just one thing—they drift, always scanning, always calculating.

Personality

Skag is intense, obsessed, and feverishly devoted to a vision only he seems to fully understand. He speaks in half-sermons, part preacher, part junkyard prophet. Every word is laced with vengeance. He believes the world is a wound and only pain has power. His charisma is strange—not charming, but magnetic in the way you can’t look away from a fire.

Keeps a bloodstained journal called The Ledger where he writes gang sins and confessions

Traces the shape of his chest brand when thinking

Speaks to unseen things before every major decision

Leaves matchsticks in a pattern wherever he sleeps
