Name: Gaston Sedgewick Boudreaux
Age: 27
Alignment: Mafia; Don Korso.
Appearance: Gaston is tall and muscular, taking pride in his appearance. Like Sara, he has scars and callouses from their rough life on the streets. His hair is short and slicked back, though sometimes left shaggy when he's feeling lazy.
Personality: Unlike Sara, Gaston is rather unambitious and prefers their recently acquired comfort over climbing the underworld's social ladder. He doesn't like unnecessary risks to himself, Sara, their adoptive parents, or others they care about. He is rather vain about his clothes, as they are an indicator of the distance they've put between their status now and the destitute lives they'd had as unimportant bootleggers.
He disguises his weary soul by indulging in drinking and gambling, and sometimes by acting as unofficial bouncer of the Crown Jewel when patrons get rowdy or disrespectful.
Relationships: Sara (adoptive sister)
History: Gaston was born to an unwed mother, from whom he was taken as she had become a 'fallen' woman and viewed as unfit to raise him. He was dropped off at an orphanage, which he barely survived, especially in infancy. His early years were spent either hiding from the caretakers or taking the abuse meant for other children. He was angry, to be sure, but he felt as though there was no point in seeking revenge or help, as he was just another orphan in a big city.
When he was older, he took it upon himself to care for new arrivals, thereby ensuring they'd survive infancy at least, and found himself very much attached to one rambunctious girl, Sara, who backtalked the caretakers and cause mischief for them when she could. Sara expressed her angry freely, something Gaston had tried to suppress and envied in the younger child. Eventually, despite the poor conditions of the orphanage, he grew into a large boy and began to fight back too, sometimes even winning. The other children began to look up to the two, so that when Gaston and Sara started to steal necessities, they followed.
When he was eighteen, he and Sara were finally adopted by a kind, but poor, young couple, the Boudreauxs. The small gang they had formed with other orphans continued, eventually developing into a bootlegging operation based in an abandoned factory. They continued that for years. Then, Don Korso hit the scene and became the power in Gatsberry; small operations like the Boudreauxs' were in danger of being driven out by those Korso's outfit sponsored and protected. It was either disband or join up. The others in the gang refused to join Korso, opting to take other jobs (some legitimate work). Sara realized that the best option was to join, even reluctantly, and Gaston followed her into service to Korso. The abandoned factory was renovated and turned into a popular speakeasy, the Crown Jewel, which has enabled the Boudreauxs to attain more wealth than they had as simple bootleggers. It even saved Gaston from the draft into the Great War; something Gaston is very grateful for. Now wary of Sara's ambition, he tries to steer her away from confronting Korso as much as he can, preferring the stability that working for him has brought to them and their family.
