[Ransom]

Backstory is in progress. Basic idea is that his family rose from poverty to relative affluence during his childhood. As a young adult he went into inner city ministry, working with the poor and homeless. Through incidents that I am still working out the details of, he discovered that there were ills more sinister than drugs and crime from which the city suffered. That was years ago, and by now he has both learned just how widespread the darkness is and become quite adept at ferreting it out.
