Arturo

Arturo is a crime boss and drug lord who is responsible for Sonya's initial mutation.

Background
Born a second son to unnamed parents, Arturo grew up in a small town outside of a heavily populated city in El Salvador. Because he is the youngest of two sons, he grew with the inspiration of his older brother, who, unlike their parents, had been dishonest and in the drug world. Without the knowledge of their parents, Arturo joined his brother and the cartel at 14. Because of his young age and being more impressionable, the head of the cartel, only known as El Lobo, grew an interest to him, mainly due to the fact the the head and his wife couldn't have kids of their own.

At the age of 20, Arturo met his future wife, who, unbenounced to him, was niece to El Lobo. Nearly a year later, El Lobo and his group of traffickers were discovered by the FBI, causing nearly everyone to fight with one another. Since El Lobo had Arturo as somewhat of an heir at this point, Arturo was forced to flee with his lover, leaving behind majority of his group, including his brother, who died during this fight. For a short time, while still fleeing the FBI, Arturo, his lover, and few surviving members stayed in Cuba, until fleeing once more to the U.S. Eventually, they landed in New York, deciding to stay due to the dense population and lower chances of getting caught. Now being able to regrow the once-dying cartel, Arturo led a growing community of criminals. His growing group was soon able to somehow obtain an abandoned and unused facility under the grounds of the city, leading to one part being used as a fighting ring, named The Circle, and another part used for prostitution and trafficking, named The Dwelling.

In the early 2000s, Arturo began to kidnap young woman and, occasionally, children. In 2007, some of Arturo's men kidnapped a child calibrating her birthday. Due to the child's young age, Arturo took the liberty to, in a sense, take the girl under his wing, manipulating her in any possible way. Later that same year, Arturo's men found a canister containing a mysterious substance. With little fear of losing "property", Arturo used the substance on the girl, proceeding to alter the girl biologically. When the girl turned 12, Arturo labeled her as an escort, this led her to be his top "tenant" by the time she turned 15.

Personality
Because he was exposed to crime at a young age, Arturo grew to be arrogant and almost self-absorbed. Although he had these traits typical for a criminal, he held honor and loyalty to those he worked with, especially for his older brother and the man he worked for. When he took over the cartel as a chairman of sorts, he was able to keep order amongst the surviving members and newcomers.

With his family, Arturo is, to an extent, very loving. He often spoils his two young daughters as well. Despite spoiling his daughters, Arturo wishes that one - or both- takes over the cartel when he passes, often teaching them ways to led and keep order.
