Marcus Cavangh

Marcus Cavangh is a main character and is the boss of the Cavangh crime family. He is a secret member of the Underworld, an underground organization consisting of the wealthy and powerful, and acts as the right-hand man and enforcer of its leader Wilhelm Wulfe, and one of his son Finn's greatest enemies.

Personality
Marcus Cavangh is a cold and intelligent man who strongly holds views such as Social Darwinism, believing that only the strongest are worthy of rising in society. His philosophy is not reserved solely for his adversaries, however, as he treated his son Finn harshly after the death of Victoria, offering no sympathy for his then-adolescent son. He is also deeply cynical, having no confidence in the good of people and believing that humanity's natural course is struggle and conflict.

He has no moral compunctions in how he deals with his enemies. His rise to power saw numerous rivals and their allies killed, and even as the head of a powerful and large family, the Cavanghs would continue to engage in conflict with its adversaries. Ultimately, he cares little for the casualties of the conflicts, be they his enemies, innocent civilians, or even his own people.

However, his views and ideology have been stemmed from a traumatic upbringing. As a child, he often witnessed his family kill each other in pursuit of leadership, thus he naturally came to understand that without power, one cannot survive. However, his wishes for the world to be gentler.
