Who is Damon Ross?

Derek stormed out of the chamber, his steps echoing with quiet fury as he traversed the corridors, his mind a tumultuous sea of conflicting emotions. Kathrine trailed behind him, a silent observer to the storm brewing within him.

As they descended the steps leading away from the chamber, Derek's abrupt halt startled Kathrine. He stood there, a deep frown etched upon his face, his gaze fixed on some distant point, lost in the labyrinth of his thoughts.

Memories of his past surged forth, fragments of a time when dominance and power were his guiding forces. He reminisced on a version of himself that would have acted swiftly, without hesitation, to eliminate any challenge to his authority. That Derek wouldn't have hesitated to confront and eliminate Rakuzen.
