The Rise of Obsidian

For years, Obsidian Network operated under the radar, known only to a select few who traded in the district’s gray market of rare gems and insider information. A fortress of encrypted transactions, the network was used by those who knew how to bend the rules without breaking them. But now, Obsidian is linked to a series of brazen heists, each one executed with near-military precision, targeting the wealthiest of District 47.

High-Profile Targets

The victims? Not corporations, but individuals—those whose lives are wrapped in secrecy and extreme wealth. Recent heists have seen some of the richest names in D47, those who rarely make headlines, stripped of their prized gems. In the last six months alone, more than $50 million in high-quality stones have vanished, taken from private vaults, exclusive showcases, and personal collections.

One of the most daring cases involved the vault of an elusive billionaire, known only to a few in the district. With cutting-edge biometric security and encrypted locks, the vault was believed to be impenetrable. Yet the thieves—who had access to detailed security layouts—struck flawlessly, leaving no trace behind. By the time investigators pieced together what had happened, the stolen gems were already circulating in Obsidian’s dark auctions, with buyers clamoring for a piece of the action.

The Shadow Broker

At the heart of Obsidian’s growing influence is a figure known only as “The Broker.” Cloaked in anonymity, The Broker is said to orchestrate deals, assign targets, and connect the district’s most ruthless players with operatives capable of pulling off these multi-million dollar heists. Whoever The Broker is, they operate with impunity, ensuring that both buyers and thieves benefit from D47’s underground market.

Despite their expanding reach, The Broker’s true identity remains a mystery. Some say they’re a former gem dealer, others believe they’re a powerful figure within District 47 itself. Whoever they are, they’ve built Obsidian into the most feared and respected platform in the underground world.

What’s Next for Obsidian?

With every successful heist, Obsidian Network’s reputation grows. The rich and powerful of District 47 are scrambling to protect their assets, investing in enhanced security systems, but it seems that nothing can outpace Obsidian’s well-placed informants and cutting-edge tech.

Rumors are swirling about an upcoming "Black Auction" where a collection of stolen gems worth tens of millions will be sold to the highest bidders. Whether it’s true or not, the name Obsidian is now on everyone’s lips, and no one in District 47 feels safe.

As the influence of Obsidian Network continues to spread through the district, one thing is certain: The Broker and their operatives have only just begun, and District 47’s elite are in their crosshairs.
