Tenorio Dynasty, a family that operates as the secret architects of justice within the Philippines' darkest underworld. The series centers on the four Tenorio pillars: Stephen, the visionary leader; Joie, the clinical protector; Matthew, the lethal enforcer; and Timothy, the digital ghost. Bound by a legacy of "necessary evil," the siblings operate the "Main Work"—a sophisticated system of shadow-governance designed to dismantle real-world monsters that the law cannot touch. The narrative arc follows the collision between this monochromatic world of violence and the "normal" lives of Alliana, Cheska, and Pat, three individuals whose presence forces the Tenorios to confront the human cost of their power.
The Tenorio Siblings and Cousin
Stephen Tenorio (35 years old): The Strategist and Head of the Family. He is the visionary who directs the "Main Work," choosing targets and managing the high-level politics of the empire. He is cold, calculated, and carries the weight of the family's legacy on his shoulders.
Joie Tenorio (20 years old): The Clinical Surgeon and Protector. She handles the medical "recoveries" and forensic clean-up. Known for her detached, surgical precision, she often acts as the family's moral compass, despite having the bloodiest hands.
Matthew (Matt) Tenorio (29 years old): The Primary Enforcer. He handles the tactical operations, specialized transport, and direct confrontations. He is the family's weapon, raised to view people as assets or liabilities until he is humbled by love.
Timothy Tenorio (28 years old): The Digital Ghost. The youngest brother and tech genius. He manages surveillance, data encryption, and "erasing" the family's digital footprint. He sees the world through a lens of data and code.
The Partners (The Outsiders)
Alliana (25 years old): The heart of the series. Originally a "normal" working girl, she is Joie's lost love whose return sparks the family's biggest internal conflicts. She represents the innocence the Tenorios are desperate to protect.
Cheska (25 years old): The Marketing Prodigy and Matt's firebrand. A high-energy, defiant woman who refuses to be intimidated by the Tenorio name. She becomes Matt's moral anchor, forcing him to earn his redemption through a year of penance.
Pat (30 years old): The Research Scientist. Linked to Alliana, he is the intellectual outsider who is thrust into the family's orbit. He represents the civilian side of the "Main Work," often serving as a catalyst for the family to use their resources for legitimate medical and social progress.
The Support & Shadows
Lolo Tenorio (80 years old): The Patriarch (Founding Figure). The source of the family's wealth and the architect of their original, more ruthless methods. His dark legacy is what the siblings are constantly trying to refine or escape.
The "Cleaners": Anonymous specialized teams who handle the aftermath of the family's operations, ensuring that the "Main Work" remains invisible to the public eye.
