Zenos, known on the streets as 'The Enigma,' is a gangster with a peculiar set of powers that sets him apart from the ordinary thugs of his world. In his mid-thirties, Zenos sports a lean build, his dark hair slicked back with a single streak of silver that runs from his forehead to the nape of his neck, a mark of his unique abilities. His eyes, a piercing shade of green, seem to glow with an otherworldly light when he uses his powers, a sight that has instilled fear in the hearts of many. Dressed in a sharp, black suit tailored to perfection, Zenos carries himself with the confidence of a man who knows he's untouchable. A silver pocket watch, a family heirloom, hangs from his vest, a constant reminder of his roots and the power he wields.

Born into a world where power is everything, Zenos has always craved more control, more influence over the criminal underworld he inhabits. His powers, which allow him to manipulate time in short bursts, have given him an edge, but the insatiable hunger for dominance drives him. Yet, the very nature of his abilities limits him; each use ages him slightly, a price he's willing to pay but knows will eventually catch up. To combat this, Zenos has become a mastermind of strategy, using his intellect to outmaneuver rivals without always resorting to his powers.

His life is a constant battle against time, both literally and figuratively. The criminal empire he seeks to build is always under threat from rivals, law enforcement, and the toll his powers take on his body. Zenos navigates these conflicts with a cold precision, his decisions calculated to maximize his gains while minimizing the aging effect of his time manipulation. His unique trait, a dry, sarcastic wit, often catches his enemies off guard, giving him the upper hand in negotiations and confrontations.

Despite his villainous nature, Zenos's intelligence and strategic mind make him a formidable opponent. His journey is one of power and control, a relentless pursuit that he knows will either lead him to the top of the underworld or to his untimely demise. The conflicts in his life, from rival gangs to the relentless march of time, shape his path, making him a complex figure in a world where morality is a luxury few can afford.
