#ciklon

Makina-Hiria may be a hotbead for the criminal underworld and counter culture but Spain certainly isn't the only country experiencing a surge of odd and quirky characters. Over in the Balkans news outlets from Slovenia to Macedonia have all been abuzz with one rather particular individual going under the moniker of "Ciklon the Yugoslav Hero". His real name is Ivo Novak but beyond that very little is actually known including his nationality with Ivo reiterating in interviews and news spots that he is simply Yugoslav. His curious drive to be seen as a stateless vigilante has both made him into something of an urban icon to many whilst being a massive target to the organized crime syndicates he antagonizes. Opposite of Crow or Trauma over in Euskadi, who seldom use guns or aim to kill, Ciklon instead hides an arsenal under his trench coat with pistols, sub machine guns, combat knives, brass knuckles, silencers, and various drugs both for his own injuries and to spike his enemies all at the ready. His preferred weapon is a pair of Soviet era PM pistols he uses to acrobatically gun down mobsters across the region. With his lightning quick movements he leaps and bounds and dodges gunfire as if he was ethereal and his pinpoint accuracy has made him a match for the mob's best enforcers. He team's up with Crow during Marko's travels of Europe given common ground in their vigilantism and style and work together to take down Ciklon's nemesis, an elusive and methodical criminal genius named Krunoslav Ziro. Known hauntingly as "Zcerneboch" amongst the mob, he may prove too high up a criminal ladder far darker and more dangerous than Marko's typical enemies putting him on edge despite Ciklon's undying determination to end the master manipulator's shadowy machinations.
