If fate treated you cruelly already in childhood, if your entire family was mercilessly murdered before your eyes, and they turned you into a cripple—miraculously surviving but without legs—if belief in the inevitability of justice vanished like smoke, and they mockingly cast you out of an orphanage into a world where even healthy people struggle to survive, then you have only two paths: to resign yourself—and live out your days at the very bottom of the “city’s slums”—or to throw all your strength into finding the culprits of all your troubles and then cruelly take revenge on them. Meet Norтис Вертинський—hungering for just retribution for the scoundrels.
