Backstory
Fred Ferguson has always been the weakest kid in school, and was always picked last. At his 30th birthday, he decided that enough is enough and he will take his life into his own hands. He begins an intense training session over a long period of time where he becomes built like a monster. He gets very famous on social media thanks to his change, and his confidence increases dramatically. He is invited by one of the gym-goers Amanda Roberts to be his personal bodyguard. This leads to a sexual relationship and eventually being led into an underworld of wealthy people. Fred found an opportunity to provide no-questions-asked bodyguard services to these shady businesspeople. This led him to meet more and more conspicuous people who lead him down a path where he became an influential bodyguard in that world. He is the most connected bodyguard, and this leads him to become an active businessman who can get you anything dirty or criminal. Killed someone? Call Big Bonze to clean up.

Big Bonze is ruthless, viewing people as assets and obstacles. He protects business interests through overwhelming force and intimidation. Fred seems to pursue ever greater wealth and power for its own sake. While some suggest he harbors resentments from childhood bullying, his inner life remains cryptic. Fred keeps even intimates at a careful distance, trusting no one. For all his networking, he lives in isolated opulence – perhaps the price for dominating only through fear, not respect. Nonetheless, this solitary crime lord continues building his empire, corrupted by the belief that might makes right.
