Blackjack joins Card Shark organization
Life, Organisation Association
Blackjack, quickly becoming a well-known and gifted catburglar, impresses the leader of the Card Shark Syndicate, who invites the nineteen-year-old into his network as a Wild Card (albeit the boy starts at a low rank, equivalent to a King among the Face Cards). Blackjack quickly proves himself willing to learn from his peer the King of Diamonds, cheerful and patient and inventive.
It is not until a few years later, when Blackjack officially outranks all of the Face Cards, that he starts to find out what the other suites do, especially Hearts (information gathering, interrogation, torture, money laundering and finances) and Spades (assassination). If it had been handled right, Blackjack might never have cared what harm is being done to strangers; something must have happened just exactly wrong.
Tales of Justice is a work of pure, unabashed fiction. In fact, it considers itself rather heroic and quite proud of itself. Names of characters, places, events, organizations, and locations are creations of the author's imagination for this fictitious setting. Some have been inspired by other sources, which will be credited at the top right of the article.
