Benjamin Shepard, the only child of his father Xavier Shepard, who is born to take over his criminal empire. Born in New York, Benjamin grows up to be a kid of the streets, knowing every street corner and alley. He is a built in compass and always know how to get home, if anyone were lost they get abused easily. A fact he learned from staying too long in the alleys. Because he knows every nook and cranny of the streets, Benjamin knows the best meet up places for his job and make sure the interactions go smoothly

When one meets Benjamin Shepard, it is his blue eyes that capture the attention of most. They were stormy under his bushy bangs, always glaring in one way or another, a window to his troubled soul. Even though his face was no short of perfect, attracting girls from a mile away, Benjamin hid in his black hoodie. A sweater he got from his mother Rose. It was big and loose when he first got it at 11-years-old. Within 4 years he outgrew it, his muscles bulging underneath. Yet A black hoodie can only do so much when you are 6'3 inches tall. With is height and looks certainly girls all over would line up to enjoy his presence. But it is not the case as Benjamin has scared them away with his toxic personality.

He pulls pranks, bullies and teases and plays on emotions and laughs in his victim's faces. Just like his father would have done. A man Benjamin daily seeks for approval.

At the same time Benjamin has a conscience, implanted by his mother Rose, so he would never commit any serious heinous crimes, even though they might capture his father attention.

Rose was a loving lady who comforted Benjamin in his young years and made sure he had a happy childhood. Opposing Xavier's wishes to "toughen him up" and to become a man like himself. Sadly on Benjamin's 10th birthday, Rose suspiciously disappeared without a trace and never returned. Benjamin's world was shattered to pieces and Xavier got his chance to toughen up his son without his wife interference.

"Boy, come here, I have something to give you."

"A gun father?"

"Yes, every 12-year-old boy should have a gun."

"I'm not 12, I'm-"

"I don't care how old you are a boy, now try it."

"I don't know, father, I don't want to kill a person."

"Don't worry boy, it gets easier the more you practice. One day you will be able to kill anyone, even your love."

"My love?"

"Yes, even your love. Now, what is that I always say?"

"Love is a weakness."

"Good boy."

Benjamin Shepard is a boy of two opposite worlds. His life's a balancing act between pleasing his father and following his heart like his mother always taught him.
