A grim, trauma-driven origin story about a man forging himself into a weapon through martial discipline after devastating personal loss.

After being brutally assaulted, an incident which also saw the death of his parents and the rape of his younger brother (which mentally scarred him to the point of having to be institutionalized), Maco Gutierrez has devoted his life to fitness and practicing martial arts to ensure his safety in the future.
