Background
“A FATE'S TALE:
Arin Fairfax, the eldest heir to Fairfax Industries, has been living in hiding for the past 5 years after being shot and left for dead on their 18th birthday. Arin doesn’t know who is trying to keep them from taking control of their parent’s company... but in the avarice fueled viper’s nest that is Fairfax Industries it could be anyone.
