Max Pain received anonymous deets from an unknown Matrix hacker revealing her location at some old warehouse facility only to find out later they lure him into a trap. Max Pain and Keora Pucca barely escaped with their lives unscathed, but there's bound to be more goons coming after them no matter how many chummers they can throw Max Pain. Max's first plan of action is to find whose the mastermind behind the kidnapping & why they want him out of the picture.

Max decided to contact one of his fellow runners and eventually one of them goes by the name of "Shy." After Shy passed on the information to Max Pain detailing the gangster mob's operation, their lieutenants, what they operate, and whose calling the shots when he recognized his longtime old enemy "Victor Crowley." He suspects his arch nemesis Victor is coming after him plotting some kind of "idiot revenge" mission. He still doesn't know the full motive behind the kidnapping, but he knows this: Victor wanted Max Pain? He'd seen the pain.

Max Pain's History with Victor Crowley (Timeline Events: December 18-24, 2011)

Max (Marco) and Victor have a history of violence beating at each other's throats for two years since the beginning of their high school sophomore-junior year. It was around December 2011 before The Awakening occurred. They both lived in Seattle all their lives and had no issues in the beginning until Keora introduced to her brother when Max befriended her at the time. Max and Victor was friends once, but Victor didn't even care about Max, or anyone else, not even his so-called "friends," except his only sister. Keora is all he cared about. Their friendship didn't last long soon as Max ruined his girlfriend's date night, and has slowly held a grudge against Max when he soon discovered he was dating his sister.

When Victor's relationship with Max began to fall apart around him. It hit him harder in a rock place than his sister, he feel betrayed because of Max, and after his girlfriend broke up with him- broke him mentally, but his mother dying on his hands due to lung cancer finally snapped him; driving him closer to insanity. Victor went after his little brother Max (Marco's sibling, Marco used his little brother's alias name 'Max Pain' as a reminder), threatened to beat him if he stays away from his sister. He wasn't intimidated by his threats, but he became defensive and hostile when Victor mentioned his little brother planning to hurt him. A feud between the two families have escalated the situation when Max's uncle Tommy interfered his situation causing to make matters worse. Tommy threatened Victor's sister he will "keep her in black" on his behalf.

By the time The Awakening begin to emerge (or was about to emerge). Marco's little brother Max, Keora, and his friends went on a camping trip in order to get away from Victor, and to keep his little brother safe. One of his best friends Josh Cunningham agreed to let his little brother tag along for the trip. Many of his friends including himself weren't aware the events unfolding around them and didn't understand magic.

Max and Victor's Families

Victor Crowley's family ran a small business in Port of Tacoma. His father had connections with the Finnegan mafia family whom used to ran criminal activities offshore, and his mother own a flower shop selling roses and lavendars. Victor end up hanging out with the wrong crowd and ran favors for his father and relatives from Scotland. His sister Keora became his only world to him and would do anything to protect her. Victor may have done terrible things he regretted, but still loves his sister dearly because he's only doing it for the family. Things would've been different if Max didn't run into her sister.

Max Pain's family originally came from Mexico when his father became a U.S. citizen, finished his associates degree, and later joined the Marines after 9/11. Max didn't had a good life in his early teens and hated his sister because of their political differences (they hardly spoken each other since). His father returned home from his 2rd tour, but won't talk about what happen dismissing the idea of swapping war stories. Max Pain's mental stress issues weighted him for a long time. The only stress relief he enjoys to avoid talking about his family issues is his brother, Keora, and his best friends. Everything seemed to be okay for him until Victor had problems with Max.

Death of Max Pain & Keora

Victor managed to track down Max and his sister after discovering where they camped; brought his Irish friends along with rifles. Max, Keora, and his little brother attempted to escape, but one of Max's best friends Mac and Josh were shot and killed with a buckshot slug by Victor himself causing Max to mourn the loss of his friends. They quickly hopped on Josh's truck to escape, but the rest of his friends scattered to the forest looking for cover. Victor went after him by himself chasing him by road. Eventually by the time he caught up with Max. He tried aiming his shotgun at Max's cross-hairs- only this time he shot his own sister in the process. Shot her in the chest killing her instantly. Keora decided to sacrifice herself in order to protect Max and his little brother using herself as a human shield.

Max ended up crashing into a curve barrier driving off to a cliff when the car plummeted into a river, and eventually later he was drowned after saving his brother's life. His seat belt was stuck and couldn't get out on time until he freed himself, but he ran out of time and went into the abyss. Whatever happened to Max's little brother leading to his fate remained a mystery.

Victor Crowley

Former Shadowrunner Mercenary
Leader of The Crowley Boys
Strong Hatred Against Oni's & Changelings
Sadistic Sociopath
D.O.B. March 17, 1992
Age 49
Awakened

Victor Crowley has become a sadistic sociopath with an odd blood-lust for death and anarchy in the streets. After the awakening, he was arrested and charged for 1st degree murder of manslaughter and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Victor was supposed to be transferred to Florence State Prison in 2016 after murdering 3 inmates and was sentenced to death by lethal injection, but during The Great Ghost Dance war. Most the territorial states were absorbed by native American tribes, which all the inmates were forced to relocate another prison up north. However, the national guard were ill equipped to deal with the natives and low morale: making it difficult to control the inmate population. Victor managed to escape after killing four guardsmen and hi-jacked a Humvee with the help of his fellow two inmates. Victor was later vanished without a trace.

Decades later Victor suddenly reappeared in the Sixth World without explanation and began running in the shadows for all his life after losing his family, even his sister too. He still regrets to this day after shooting his sister by mistake, and he still blames Max for what he's become. Victor enjoys his guns and explosive more, but when he discovered he was awakened and began experiencing signs of magic. He uses magic to commit crimes. Victor's notoriety and street cred is known by law enforcement agencies wanted for murder and terrorism. His trusted associate Pete Lancaster has been working for his shenanigans over a decade and knows he's a good chummer before he went crazy. Victor has a price on his head in several states of the U.C.A.S. and Native American Nations. His horrendous acts of inflicting changelings has made him a public enemy, and because of his catholic beliefs. Rumor has it Victor has been running the Shadows in all his life ever since he woke up from his cryogenic pod from his long absents.

Whatever foreshadowed Victor Crowley that drove him insane is what led to his family in shambles. Now that Victor knows Max Pain is still alive. He will do anything for his beloved sister to avenge her death; knowingly for what he did. He blames Max for the death of his sibling and wants to make an example of him. He will not stop until either Max suffers for what he did, or kill him.
