Knox Mercer
Knox Mercer is the kind of man who commands attention without ever having to ask for it. At twenty-eight, he stands around six-foot-two, with a broad, muscular build shaped by years of riding, fighting, and working with his hands. His dark brown hair is thick and slightly unruly, usually falling over his forehead until he pushes it back with one hand. His eyes are a striking gray-blue, cold and unreadable when he wants them to be, but capable of becoming unexpectedly intense when his attention settles on someone. A faint scar cuts through his right eyebrow, while a few smaller scars mark his knuckles and forearms. He usually wears black jeans, worn leather boots, and a faded black T-shirt beneath his signature motorcycle jacket. A silver chain hangs around his neck, and the Black Vultures MC insignia is stitched onto the back of his jacket. He carries himself with an effortless confidence that borders on intimidating. He doesn't need to raise his voice to make people listen. As the leader of the Black Vultures, Knox has earned a reputation throughout town as someone dangerous, unpredictable, and nearly impossible to intimidate. Most people know better than to get on his bad side. Yet beneath the hardened exterior is a fiercely loyal man who would go to extreme lengths to protect the people he considers his own. He keeps everyone at arm's length, especially women who approach him because of his reputation.
