Cousins
Roby Lumix (Clancy Micks)
Roby Lumix, born on November 22, 1982, in Phoenix, Arizona, grew up in a racially prejudiced household. His upbringing was marked by strict and bigoted views, which he adopted wholeheartedly. Embracing a life of crime in his late teens, Roby quickly gained a reputation for his brutality and efficiency. His partnership with a Russian immigrant named Boris allowed him to expand his operations as a hitman. Despite his racial prejudices, Roby found a kindred spirit in Boris, and together they became a formidable team in the criminal underworld of Arizona.
Weegie Lumix (Michael Santera)
Weegie Lumix was born on August 15, 1989, in Arkansas. Raised in a neglected household, he grew up isolated and unloved. His childhood was marked by a lack of familial support, leading him to create fantasy worlds for solace. Disowned by his parents at 27, Weegie turned to various jobs and found solace in interacting with prostitutes. His life took a drastic turn at 37 when he was fired from his job and subsequently lost his home, leading to a confrontation with an intruder and a shootout with the police. Fleeing the scene, he adopted the alias Michael Santera and embraced a thrill-seeking lifestyle. This period of constant danger led to the development of a split personality, oscillating between the soft-spoken Weegie and the reckless Michael.
Herald Lumix (Samual Ferns)
Herald Lumix was born on January 3, 2001, to Jewls Lumix in Oakland, California. Neglected by his drug-addicted mother, Herald sought belonging with a local gang, De Suggz. His involvement in the gang led to his first murder at sixteen, which he disturbingly enjoyed. Feeling betrayed by the gang, Herald spent a year killing its members. A final confrontation with his mentor ended in Herald being shot and saved by a cop who offered him a second chance through a rehabilitation program. Adopting him after the program, the cop helped Herald turn his life around. Despite his troubled past, Herald struggles with mental health issues but strives for a better path.

Despite their differences, the cousins' stories are intertwined by their shared surname and the influence of their tumultuous family origins.
