Bio
Dominic was born in Hong Kong, along with his twin brother Jimmy. In childhood, the brothers were inseparable, but in their youth, they chose different paths. Dominic joined a street gang, and made a name for himself in the underground MMA tournaments. Jimmy graduated with honors and enrolled in law school. It was Jimmy who always pulled his brother out of trouble, tried to influence him and make him settle down. But Dominic's violent nature was relentless. At age 26, he decided to organize his own tournament - and borrowed money from a criminal boss.
The tournament successful at first, but was soon shut down by the rival gang. Mongoose was required to repay the debt, and, fearing his creditorās vengeance, decided to turn himself in to the authorities and serve a short term for organizing illegal sporting events.
While Dominic was already in custody, thugs looking for him mistook Jimmy for āMongooseā and killed him. Dominic found out about this when he was already in jail. In January 2028, Dominic tested positive for the V-gene and was offered parole in exchange for service at Shellguard. He left his criminal past behind with a firm intention of finding a real purpose in life, at last.
