Julian Ross

Alias: Ian Rossi
Age: Late thirties
Height: 5’9″
Affiliation: Venttai family

Julian Ross is a pale, dark-eyed man with short black hair and the cultivated charm of someone who has survived by becoming whatever other people wanted to see.

Under the alias Ian Rossi, he works for the Venttai family. His duties connect him to their money-laundering operations, trafficking networks, and criminal gatherings disguised as private parties.

Julian once dated Femi and lived in her apartment in the Peachpit Projects. He treated the space as though it belonged to him, filling it with gangsters, criminals, liquor, and strangers she had never invited. The parties gave the Venttai family a private place to conduct business while forcing Femi to retreat inside her own home.

To Julian, her silence was convenient.

He mistook her quiet for submission and her patience for permission. Like many men in Femi’s life, he understood her value only in relation to what she could provide him.

By the time Daemon learns his name, Julian’s greatest mistake is already complete.

He once made Femi feel unsafe in her own home.
