Behind the empire
Adonis knows Gibson only as Mari Patterson and genuinely loves her because she awakens memories of the mother who vanished from his childhood. Even after discovering her betrayal, he retains a dangerous soft spot for her. He is presumed dead at the end of the operation, but his survival is deliberately unresolved.
