John Wick

Johnathan Wick (Jardani Jovanovich) is a legendary hitman who retired after finding the love of his life, Helen. After Helen’s passing, her final gift, a puppy, was murdered by Russian mobster Iosef Tarasov, who also stole John’s car during a home invasion. This tragic event brought John out of retirement to avenge his loss. He is famously known as ‘Baba Yaga’ (the Boogeyman you send to kill the Boogeyman) and is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will. John once completed an ‘impossible task’ for Viggo Tarasov, laying the foundation for Viggo’s empire, and he is known for killing three men in a bar with a pencil. His reputation is so profound that the police don’t interfere in his work, and even high-ranking mobsters show extreme deference and fear when his name is mentioned. Viggo Tarasov himself, when lecturing his son Iosef, emphasizes the gravity of incurring John Wick’s wrath, stating that John will come for Iosef and cannot be stopped.
