Ross is, as I mentioned in my setting and story subpage, the primary heavyman for Ragnatela. He is 23 years old, being the oldest of the five suitors. He spends most of his time on the streets, directing the hundreds of hitmen, gang members, and goons that act under the State.

His mother is one of the founders, alongside Romeo's dad, and once acted in the same position as Ross, being the leader of the street men; she is now the official bodyguard/companion of the Ragnatela's crimelord (in a purely platonic sense, of course). She is known as "The Spider" (her real name is Araya), not only because of her sinister and violent nature but also because of her situation concerning Ross' conception and birth. Ross' father, who is unnamed in the game, was a sort of partner in crime to his mother; however, they had a sort of love-hate relationship while they worked together, and while neither of them would consider themselves romantically involved, the love part of the love-hate relationship certainly would get "heated" at times. Long story short, Ross' mother soon became pregnant, and during her pregnancy, the hate part of the love-hate relationship perhaps got a bit too much one day, and she shot and killed Ross' father after an off-handed comment. This is part of where her nickname came from, as, like a black widow spider, she has so far killed all of her lovers. Needless to say, Ross' mother was demoted shortly after Ross' birth from this position, and was placed as the bulldog of the State's more feeble leader, and was only placed back on the streets for one-off, important jobs that the kingpin couldn't trust anyone else with.

Ross' childhood was, of course, chaotic. As I mentioned in my moodboard subpage, Ross is transgender, and so he was obviously born a girl. This didn't stop him from being a spitfire in his childhood; he grew up only half knowing his mother and spent most of his days roaming the safehouses alone, playing with bits of metal, discarded guns, and spray bottles. As soon as he was old enough to have a shred of common sense, he was off roaming the streets, getting into fights, and using his mother's name and fame to get away with whatever he wanted. Growing up, he always found Romeo nothing but an annoyance; his mother wanted them to get along, but Ross saw him as more like an obnoxious child than a younger brother. It was all going peachy until he was 13—hormones raging, aggressive, and cocky—and he was messing around in some other State's territory, unbeknownst to the fact that this State had a long-term rivalry with Ragnatela. He was caught, put in his place, and reprimanded by his mother. As punishment, he was banned from leaving the safehouse and placed as a runner for a year until he learned discipline and the value of the State. He was never the same afterwards, learning modesty and gaining a new perspective on their cruel world. During this time, he also realised how he truly felt gender-wise and came out as a trans man. To prevent him from messing around in the future, he was given roles and responsibilities and slowly built himself up to fill his mother's shoes. By the time he was an adult, he had come into his own as a fighter, a leader, and a man.
