Opponents Lawyer # 2 (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

The opponent has money and multiple lawyers.

The judge’s verdict favors the opponent.

There are no details given in this story, but given the feeling of the story, I suspect that the opponent did something pretty horrible to the man’s child and is able to use his money and influence to escape justice. This would lead me to believe that the opponent’s lawyer is not a very nice person or possibly has low moral standards.

Anna’s portrait certainly lends credibility to my theory that this man is not necessarily the most honest man.

This is one of the opponent’s lawyers. He appears in the 12th Portrait of Despair on page 94 of Endless nights, or page 15 of the Despair story.
