Keyser Soze

So mysterious that even his nationality is disputed, Soze allegedly began his criminal career in Turkey as a low-level drug smuggler. The entity that is Keyser Soze was truly born, however, when rival smugglers working for the Hungarian Mafia invaded his house while he wasn't at home, raping his wife, and holding his children hostage, killing one of them when Soze arrived to show him they were serious. They then threatened to kill his wife and remaining children if he did not surrender his business to them. Soze's response to this was perhaps the greatest of his legendary acts. Rather than give in to their demands, he shot and killed his family and all but one of the Hungarians, whom he spared to spread word of his ruthless nature.After burying his family, Soze went after the Mob, killing dozens of people, including the mobsters' families, friends, and even people who owed them money. He then "went underground", never again doing business in person and remaining invisible even to his henchmen, who almost never knew who they were working for. When he did commit crimes, it was always in disguise and under a fake name, leaving no one the wiser.Soze's ruthlessness is legendary, having enemies and disloyal henchmen brutally murdered, along with everyone they held dear, for the slightest infractions. Despite this, however, if someone working for Soze without realizing it unwittingly stole from him, he would offer them the chance to redeem themselves. Over the years, his criminal empire, centered around the drug trade, flourished, as did his legend; he became "a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night", and on a par with the Devil in the world of crime.
