Washed up, broken down and mostly drunk, he's been sent to the Underground to find new recruits to fight in the Circles. Most of the kids he watches are poor lacklights, not the pureblood Grievar that have been bred thousands of years for unarmed combat.Murray is sick of the system, nations using Grievar to fight in the Circles for their own agendas. He's sick of Grievar getting illicitly enhanced to improve their potential while forsaking the Codes. He's sick of the Daimyo: the wealthy race of rulers that pull all the strings while Murray’s kin are the ones to bleed.But Murray comes across a gem in the rough, a mysterious boy that gives him hope and a reason to fight again: CEGO.
