An Introduction to the Characters of The Dark Assassin

The final of my original fictions is The Dark Assassin. This will be a full length story and likely end up being part of at least a trilogy though I make no guarantee of more than the first book. The first book introduces you to a world of darkness. Set in Savannah, GA, in a current timeline, it does not have the heavy dose of supernatural or fantasy that most of my stories carry and though it does have a small touch of supernatural, it is not in my normal fashion.

The main characters in this story (and any sequels that may follow) are:

Trenton aka Drake, an assassin who has a past steeped in darkness, starting from the time he was a child living in an abusive home. Having never found justice in the justice system, he quickly started to make his own. Now he spends his days working at a gas station, but spends his evenings doing what he's best at.

Cyan aka CeCe, a former navy seal who works at a cafe on the outskirts of Eden, GA. She stops at the gas station almost every morning to get a jerky stick and a soda. She's crushing on Drake but knows nothing of who he really is. As her own past comes to haunt her in the most deadly way possible, she will learn more about Drake than she ever bargained for.

Merrick is a lawyer and friend to Drake, he's also Drake's handler and deals with the money side of what Drake does. Merrick is married and has four kids at home. He's in many ways far more dangerous and devious than Drake, but comes off as being friendly and fun-loving with zero concerns in the world

Julie, Merrick's wife of seventeen years. She is a stay at home mom who knows far more about Drake's world than she lets on. She is faithful to her husband and to his secrets, and ultimately keeps everything tight to the vest.

Garrick, Pedar, Ramsey, and Yennifer, ages 15, 13, 9 and 7 respectively are Merrick and Julie's four kids. Though minor characters, they are important to the story.

Penelope is Merrick's current assistant at his law practice, she's seriously inept at the start, but quickly becomes invaluable to him and his work.

Oswald is a retired hit-man who taught Drake almost everything that he now knows. He's going blind and is ornery as hell.

Finally there's Meladie, a Haitian voodoo priestess who may or mat not be really psychic.
