Lore: Zero — The Final Bet
Vincent “Zero” Moretti
Affiliations: Former regular at the “Golden Dragon” Casino; debtor to an occult syndicate.
The Fatal Hand
Vincent was always the best gambler in the Lower East Side. They called him “Zero” because he consistently left his opponents with a zero balance.
But one night, his luck ran dry. In a secluded underground club, he encountered a mysterious masked player who, instead of chips or cash, put an ancient, hand-minted coin case on the line.
Confident in his hand, Vincent went all-in. He revealed his cards—a Royal Flush. But the opponent remained silent, merely sliding the case toward him. Inside lay four golden coins covered in strange engravings that seemed to whisper in a tongue unlike any human language.
The Cursed Winnings
The moment Zero touched the coins, the world around him "glitched." The casino walls began to melt into ghostly shadows, and the voices of the players turned into the static hum of a radio. The coins weren't a prize—they were a mark.
The artifact was revealed to be the "Patron’s Eye."
It grants its owner the ability to perceive future probabilities (which is how he sees ricochet trajectories), but in exchange, it demands a constant feed of soul energy. If Zero stops playing and winning, the coins will claim his own life, leaving nothing but an empty shell in his place.
Contract with the Abyss
Now, Zero cannot stop. He has joined the battle for the Patrons because it is the only casino where the stakes are high enough to satiate his cursed artifact. He is no longer playing for money—he is gambling with death itself.

Lore Snippets & Trivia
The Infernus Connection: Rumor has it that Zero once tried to buy out Infernus’s bar, but the demon nearly roasted him alive. Since then, they’ve maintained a "cold peace," constantly trading sharp-tongued insults.
The Oddity: Zero never parts with his lucky coins. If someone attempts to steal them, the coins simply teleport back into his pocket, leaving a burn mark in the shape of a Spade on the thief’s hand. (This explains where his coins for "Mortal Toss" come from).
The Objective: He is hunting for the mysterious masked player who lost the coins to him. Zero suspects that it wasn't just a man, but one of the Patrons' Avatars looking for a cruel way to pass the time.

Hands
Fingerless leather gloves designed for precision revolver handling. His forearms feature chain tattoos that glow whenever ability charges are stored.
Waist / Trousers
Formal black dress trousers with razor-sharp creases.
He wears a black leather belt with a massive golden buckle engraved with card suits (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs). The buckle pulses with a golden light during his Ultimate.
Footwear
Polished black Oxford shoes. Despite the chaos of battle, they remain immaculately clean, as if he were walking on air.
Weapon
Revolver "Fair Zero": A large-caliber sidearm made of blued steel with intricate gold inlays. When the cylinder spins, it produces the distinct clicking sound of a roulette wheel.

In-Game Animation Features
Idle: Zero lazily rolls a coin across his knuckles (left hand).
Movement: He never rushes. His Dash appears as a swift, elegant sliding step.
Reload: He stylishly flicks out the spent casings, which hit the ground with the distinct clink of falling coins.
