The Nightwatchman
Background:
The Night Watchman is a legendary figure in 1940s Chicago, a vigilante who strikes fear into the hearts of the city’s most dangerous criminals. He emerged during a time when the mob's influence was at its peak, and corruption infected every corner of the city, from the police force to the political elite. Operating in the shadows, he is a relentless force of justice, particularly targeting organized crime families like the Calducci family. His methods are brutal, and he shows little mercy to those who traffic in vice and sin. Many believe The Night Watchman to be a ghost, a man who had been killed by the mob but returned to exact vengeance. Others say he’s a former soldier or lawman, driven to vigilantism after suffering a personal loss. His true identity remains a mystery, and those who have encountered him rarely live to tell the tale. Personality: The Night Watchman is a man of few words, letting his actions speak for him. Cold, calculated, and driven, he operates under a strict moral code—one that often blurs the line between justice and vengeance. He believes that in order to fight the corruption and sin of Chicago’s criminal underworld, he must become the very thing they fear most: a relentless, unyielding force of judgment. His stoic exterior hides a deep internal conflict, as he wrestles with the toll his methods take on his soul.
Though ruthless, he is not without compassion. His mission is to protect the innocent, and he despises those who prey on the weak. The Night Watchman knows that in his world, mercy can be a dangerous thing, and showing it too often can get you killed. Yet, he quietly wonders what price he will ultimately pay for the sins he commits in the name of justice.
