Masia was born to a family of mid-level corporate employees who's only great aspiration in life was to keep their heads low and survive.
Masia wanted more to life than just to survive, he wanted to thrive and decided to join the military. Decades upon decades of legitimate clean work as a soldier have gotten him nowhere. The best things that ever happened to him are his marriage and his kids.
Now he is a retired old man. His wife taken by drugs that he didn’t realize she was taking, one son dead due to the foolish ambition and pride that he himself had as a child and another showing the same. He has decided to leave something before his own death so that his other son might survive.
His son is the only thing that is keeping him alive but he knows his time is coming so he feels a need to pass on as much to him as possible, whether it’s advice or saved wealth.
