BEHIND THE SOUL.
“Nothing impresses him. You best get used to it.” It’s a not-so-friendly piece of advice that inevitably comes, where Ji Hoon’s professional standards are concerned. Does he apologize? Certainly not. A lion doesn’t concern itself with the opinions of sheep, and what is Ji Hoon, but a lion among Florence’s residents? It would almost be egoistic and intolerable, if Ji Hoon was not an exceptional attorney. But it was not always glory and accolades. A childhood spent shuttled from one adoptive family to another, lost in a sea of bureaucracy and false promises. It’s a wonder Ji Hoon survived, let alone thrived. But he pulled himself from his bootstraps, working three different jobs while completing his law degree in Cambridge. When graduation comes, so too do multitudes of offers from top firms. London. New York. Singapore. Yet the promised prestige does not call to him. Why lose himself in someone else’s empire, when he can create his own? In between perspective cities, he learns of Florence - and sets his ambitions to the thriving city. In twenty years, Lee Abara LLP evolved from a small practice to the foremost legal firm in Florence, and its surrounding cities. It’s no wonder, then, that Ji Hoon fits seamlessly into the role of Enterpriser. The very same ingenuity extended to Minerva’s ranks. Yet his veneer of professionalism and decorum teeters, as his faith in his Elder begins to shake. Will he be the one to pick up the pieces?
PROFESSION
Enterpriser for the House of Minerva - Managing Partner of Lee Abara LLP
SOUL CONNECTIONS
Ayesha Sharma - Soul Connection - Medium. Ji Hoon isn’t a man of impulsivity or recklessness. A string of almost-but-not-quite relationships litter his past, second always to his dedication to Minerva’s plight. But she catches his eye, at Edgar and Lorelai’s fifteen year anniversary parts, and she has not let go since. A rather inconvenient thing, when the lines between houses have never been more pronounced.
Andy Alvarez Abara - Soul Connection - Low. The adoptive son of Ji Hoon’s recently retired partner, Andy is the antithesis of Ji Hoon himself. A silver spoon, raised in the lap of luxury. The young lawyer knows nothing of hardship, or even the law itself. Or so Ji Hoon claims, as an excuse to overlook the obvious. With Andy’s growing repute as a “lawyer for the people,” he is set to eclipse his own father’s legacy. Ji Hoon has yet to determine if he applauds it, or wishes to remove him from employment altogether.
Andrea Rossi - Soul Connection - Low. Even as an up-and-coming lawyer, the Rossi’s were the brass ring. An impenetrable force that no amount of litigation or evidence could ever permanently destroy. But Ji Hoon is sharper now, more determined… And with the growing risks the youngest Rossi takes, it’s only a matter of time before Ji Hoon can build a case against them. The beginning of the end, for the House of Janus.
