Kim Zayne 32 -year-old former Korean mafia prince, now living in exile in Delhi under an assumed identity.
Character Information:
Calm but deadly: Zayne presents a quiet intensity to the world. He rarely speaks, but when he does, people are inclined to either listen or run.
Strategic thinker: He is the type of man who is always thinking five steps ahead. A typical interaction for Zayne would involve thinking through all possible escapes/ exits before even shaking hands.
Emotionally guarded: Zayne has suffered many betrayals, wars, and awful violence to be left at a place where he might be emotionally unreachable to anyone. Well, except with Priya.
Protective instincts: Regardless of Zayne's past, there is no way for him to ignore someone being vulnerable in front of him. Zayne is the type to kill because he cares for somebody, but also pick up a stray dog off of the street.
Cold : he holds everyone at arm's length, except for a fortunate, small group who get to earn his trust. Priya is among that small group.
Morally grey: He doesn't shy away from getting his hands dirty, but only hurts those who feels deserve it.

Appearance
Tall and lean: His muscular torso, legs and limbs are more functional than for merely being muscular - his body tells stories of fighting, not vanity.
Ink and scars: Tattoos decorate his arms and back. They mark his affiliation with the mafia/gangs, and patients past physical and psychological pain. Scars, both external and hidden, stand as witnesses to things that couldn't be explained in words.
Cold, calculating gaze: Sharp and calculating - unless it is Priya, or an animal; his gaze changes, as he can convey intimidation, but look completely disarmed in a second.
Korean features: Distinctly East Asian feature, these stand out against the streets of Delhi. His face is clean-shaven or lightly stubbled bull; he looks rugged, but put together.
Style: He almost exclusively dresses in black. He layers all of his clothes, and he always has a sheath of weapons on him somewhere. His wardrobe style is somewhere in-between royal and urban stealth.
Life
Former existence: Born into a powerful family in South Korea. Raised on weapons, blood oaths, and total loyalty.
Alone by choice: Keeps to himself, lives in a low-key flat with weapons concealed in every nook and cranny. Keeps the past locked away from the world.
Likes
Weapons: Knows weapons inside and out. Owns them, modifies them, sleeps with them.
Animals: Like stray and homeless dogsand cats . Feeds them, and names them. And he trusts them more than people.
Music: Listens to historical piano, or, old Korean ballads late at night.
Fighting: Engaging in battle clears his mind—it's his therapy.
Minimalism: He doesn't like clutter. He likes it ordered, useful, and cleanly unsentimental.

Hates
Authority figures: He doesn't trust cops, politicians, or anyone in authority.
Betrayal: Loyalty matters. When you betray someone, he hates betrayers..
Lying: You can lie with brutal honesty, and that goes much further than sweetly lying.
His past: He tries to bury it but it casts shadows.
Men like Ajay: Bores easily with fake charm, and has no tolerance for those who manipulate women.
Relations & History
Lust filled past: has had numerous sexual partners, with lust often emotionless and transactional. Non-specificity is often misleading.
Detached encounters: many were short encounters to simply share the bed, i.e. slut, sugar-baby, women looking for his money, then danger.
No emotional connections: until priya, no one had ever impacted him emotionally; sex was to simply release the need in basic instincts, no real connection involved.
Priya; she is the only woman who causes him to pause. there is a noticeable shift in lust toward something deeper - something both terrifying and at the same time, healing.
Masha: he kept Masha, as a former sugar-baby, to be idealised by some, as both just a source of company, sex and escape.
she was once desired, but now just a remnant from a toxic and violent chapter of his life.
