january arsonists: "the blind halo project."

draw dead: the milano project [ courez morte ]
copied material in bold.

Nearly a year ago, an infamous criminal organization existed in Las Vegas - it was, perhaps, Vegas' best-kept secret. It ruled Sin City with an iron fist, yet most of its citizens were blissfully ignorant of the assassinations, the drug trafficking, all the illegal operations and corrupt fingers it kept all across the world... Headed right there in one of Vegas' most beautiful resorts: the Venetian. The organization had existed for generations, living as perhaps the heart of the world's dirty deeds, making all the magic happen. Facilitating the lives for those who could afford it and ending those who couldn't.

Nearly a year ago, an infamous criminal organization existed in New York - it was, perhaps, New York's best-kept secret. It ruled New York with an iron fist, yet most of its citizens were blissfully ignorant of the assassinations, the drug trafficking, all the illegal operations and corrupt fingers it kept all across the world... Headed right there in one of New York's most beautiful Lounges: The Killing Jar. The organization had existed for one sole purpose. It housed the criminals, and it housed the convicted. It gave solitude to those which held power, and it gave power to those who had none.

Draw Dead ruled the world.

The January Arsonists ruled the United States.

A year ago, four sole people held control over it: the Queen of Diamonds, the King of Hearts, the Ace of Spades, and the Jack of Clubs; they were known as the Royal Flush, consisting of four of the most brilliant, dangerous people in the world: Alana Ashcroft, Michael Archer, Vivienne Anechka, and Adrian Vincent.

Of course, nothing illegal can exist without constant pestering from those that "uphold" the law. Most could be bought off, whether in money or in one of the operations Draw Dead ran, but a year ago, one FBI agent was sent undercover to work in the Venetian: Bridget Robinson, who worked as a cocktail waitress under the alias Alice Avery.

A year ago, four sole people had control of the it. The four Divisions that ran the entire operation. One Burnt God, two Arsonists, and one Gasoline. Of course, nothing illegal can exist without constant pestering from those that "uphold" the law. Most could be bought off, whether in money or in one of the operations January Arsonists ran, but a year ago, one FBI agent was sent undercover to become apart of one of the worlds largest illegal escapes: Ian MacKaye.

It was only a matter of time until Bridget Robinson would uncover the largest illegal operations organization in history. Arrests were made - but before anyone knew anything, three of the four Royal Flush had vanished off the face of the planet, it seemed. The last remaining, Adrian Vincent, was sentenced to life in jail, along with many of the underbosses and pawns of the organization. Draw Dead had been cracked open down to the core, but its little heart was vacant; all the money and its leading controllers were simply gone.

Arrests were made - but before anyone knew anything, three of the four Division Commanders had vanished off the face of the planet, it seemed. The last remaining, Madaline De`Voure, was sentenced to life married to the man who brought down The January Arsonists.The January Arsonists had been cracked open down to the core, but its little heart was vacant; all the money and its leading controllers were simply gone.

But they weren't dead.

But they weren't dead.

While Bridget Robinson was made a special agent of the International Police (INTERPOL), the Ace, the Queen, and the King sought refuge in Italy. Life went on, keeping a low profile, staying out of public affairs and transactions, and wearing new aliases. They were never even noticed. But soon, their "legitimate" (as legitimate as a felon can be) lifestyles were a bore. It was time to jump back into the fray.

While Ian MacKaye made a life torturing the remaining member left in New York; The Arsonists, and the Whore vanished.

But soon, their "legitimate" (as legitimate as a felon can be) lifestyles were a bore. It was time to jump back into the fray.

This became the creation of what is now called The Milano Project.

This became the creation of what is now called The Blind Halo Project.

The Milano Project, based in Milan, Italy, with its headquarters held in the beautiful Bulgari Hotel and Resort, is much like what Draw Dead had been, though moreso restricting their operations and affairs to Europe. Alana Ashcroft, Vivienne Anechka, and Michael Archer (all of whom are now known as Natalia Casciani, Anastasia Adrienne, and Michael Vescovi) continue to lead the project with even greater, fuller power and force than they had with Draw Dead. Each controls some aspect of the project - Michael with law, protecting the people that deserve more than Hell but have the money to escape it; Anastasia with assassinations and intricate robberies, con artistry; and of course the lovely Natalia does all the business relations, negotiations, setting up the operations and arranging clients.

The Blind Halo Project, based in London, with its headquarters held in the beautiful The Carlton Tower Hotel and Resort, is much like what January Arsonists had been, though moreso restricting their operations and affairs to Europe.

The Bulgari Hotel, a brand new resort recently opened in Milan, is owned by Michael Vescovi's own father, Gabriel Vescovi. After Michael flew Anastasia and Natalia over to his hometown in Italy, the two were gladly provided with disguise jobs at the hotel - Anastasia as, once again, head of public relations, and Natalia as the director of sales and marketing. Of course, the Bulgari appeared the perfect place to restart everything. Well, no, not restarting. Think of it as evolving.

The Carlton Tower Hotel, a brand new resort recently opened in London, is owned by Madaline De`Voure. After the fateful death of Ian MacKaye, Madaline used his funds in which she had gotten by the settlements, and the lawyers to buy the gorgeous Hotel. Of course, The Carlton Hotel appeared the perfect place to restart everything. Well, no, not restarting. Think of it as evolving.

The Milano Project deals with everything from drug dealing to selling illegal weapons and explosives - from assassinations to prostitution. Life is about getting what you want.
