Biography
Remus was born in Landsberg, Germany on November 13, 1878. He became a layer at the age of 24. After watching his bootlegger clients paid of enormous fines like it was nothing, he decided that bootlegging was the job for him.

Unlike any bootleggers at the time, Remus has "Big Brain" and came up with a pretty smart plan. He knew there were gallons of liquor produced before Prohibition sitting in distillery warehouses and could only be bought with government permission to drug companies. Remus set us his own drug company, bought all the liquor, set up a transport company to transport the liquor, and then send his own men with guns to intercept his own transport vehicles. Then he could sell the liquor for money.

Unfortunately, Remus was eventually caught by a prohibition director in Indiana who wouldn't take Remus's bribes and Remus was found guilty for violating the Volstead Act 3,000 times. He was sentences to prison for 2 years. Remus's wife promised to take care of all his money, and by take care of his money she means dating a prohibition agent, selling off everything Remus owned, and filing for divorce. Eventually, Remus was released from prison and when he noticed his mansion empty, he broke into tears.

A few months later, during the divorce trial, Remus spotted his wife in a taxi, in Cincinnati. He then ordered a Taxi driver to run the other taxi her wife was in. There, he shot his wife dead.

He then later turned himself into the police, and in his next trial, this time for murder became a national and weird sensation. He was reportedly handing out skillful questioning and crying in the corner. Eventually, after 19 minutes into the deliberation, he was found not guilty because the nation felt bad for him when his wife dumped him for another person and taking his money.
