Synopsis[]
The Setup[]
Rajan's involvement in the Klaww Gang
The gang locates another Clockwerk part, which surfaces in India. The gang load up the van and set out for their next target: a self-made man named Rajan who grew up poor on the streets of Calcutta. He started his life of crime by selling illegal spices on the black market. He eventually grew his small outfit into a sizable operation and soon join the Klaww Gang. He has since crowned himself "Lord of the Hills". While he goes to great lengths to convince others of his royalty, it is mostly to convince himself.
Rajan is holding a lavish ball at his Indian palace, where he wanted to show off his latest acquisition: the Clockwerk wings. Rajan believes that the wings will bring him prestige, but little does he know that the Cooper Gang is also on his tail.
