Heir to a manufacturing dynasty, Aria is a thrill-seeking elite who sponsors several drivers. Aria grew up as a wealthy daughter and as someone who had everything, but after seeing the death races on TV, she decided to invest in them. She is bored by passive wealth and actively engages in race strategy, often demanding specific, brutal tactics from her teams to maximize the 'artistic' violence for her viewing pleasure.

Aria Volkov
Background
Personality
Aria can be cruel but naive at the same time because of her limited worldview. But when its a subject she knows about she can be incredibly manipulative.
Magistrate Kaito Ren
Background
A cold, analytical financier and one of the founding members of the Track Lords. He views the Death Race purely as a high-yield investment and social engineering tool. He bets on drivers based on complex algorithms and has no qualms about ordering a driver's death if it serves the Syndicate's bottom line.
Personality Traits
Reaper Malenko
Background
Malenko, who is now never called that name and now called 'Reaper', grew up in the industrial slums bordering the track. He fought his way into the circuit as a mechanic's apprentice, eventually becoming a driver. Fueled by rage against the system, he drives with reckless, destructive abandon, seeking to become a legend or die trying.
Personality
Reaper is incredibly aggressive on track and can sometimes even be reckless. He has one goal - 'win'. In order to do that he would take any good or bad action without having a moral judgement.
Vera Cortez
Background
Daughter of a former corporate security specialist, Vera entered the races to pay off a family debt. Her father was killed by the Elites for trying to save a racing driver. Ever since then she had a long grudge against them.
Personality
She is a meticulous planner who survives through calculated aggression and expert use of defensive systems. She is also patient and kind for those at need, and aggressive for her enemies. She can also be a romantic, which can put her feelings at risk.
Vilas Rodrigo
Background
A former military engineer, Silas was dishonorably discharged for modifying vehicles beyond safety protocols. He joined the Death Race to test his lethal creations, earning a fearsome reputation. He also has secret connections with the Elite which makes him a double agent.
