| “ | So yeah, I killed that a****** Noriega. Stabbed him in the throat and left him to bleed out on the dockside. Maybe that shocks you a bit, maybe not, but trust me when I say he had it coming. Eight years we worked together, and it was him that got carried away kicking McMullen’s head in and moved it from assault to GBH, but sure enough, when we get picked up he turns on me and I get pinned for it. Five years I served because of him, while he walked free as you please. | „ |

Biography[]
Paul Noriega seemed somewhat prominent in the crime underbelly of London, working with his associate Lee Rentoul for eight years. One day, he assaulted a young man named Toby McMullen, permanently disfiguring him. Noriega and Lee were arrested shortly thereafter, and Noriega blamed the assault on Lee, offering McMullen drugs to testify against him. This worked and he was allowed to walk scot-free while Lee went to prison. He never ended up giving McMullen the drugs.
Over the next five years, Noriega moved up in the world, making a significant amount of a money and hiring bodyguards. Eventually, Lee Rentoul got out of prison and tried to kill him, but the bodyguards fought him off. However, a few weeks later, Noriega began receiving body parts in mysterious packages that showed up at his flat. He would then lose whatever body part was inside within a few hours. Seeking a cure to this curse, he met with Mikaele Saleasa, a fencer who dealt in paranormal artifacts. Being extremely paranoid, Saleasa made him come alone, and once there the two got into a fight about the price of Noriega's cure. Noriega left having achieved nothing and was then ambushed and murdered by Lee.
