Ray is a revered figure in Soho, his presence commanding a rare respect from both sides of the law. In his 70s, he stands tall at 188 cm, his medium to dark skin and short, curly grey hair complementing the well-groomed beard that frames his face. His rugged, lived-in appearance tells tales of a storied past, from his days as a firefighter to his hidden role as a hitman—a career that earned him the nickname “Black Ray” across Soho’s underworld. His upright, dignified posture reflects a strength that age has only refined, giving him an aura of quiet authority that draws admiration from Soho’s roughest circles.

Ray’s style is practical yet iconic; he’s often seen in beige corduroy trousers and a blue and black plaid lumberjack shirt, finished with sturdy black leather shoes. Though his clothing is unassuming, his calm yet formidable presence makes him impossible to overlook. Regulars in Soho may catch sight of Ray at his usual haunts, where his reputation ensures he can enjoy his solitude without interruption. His life remains largely a mystery, but those familiar with Soho’s undercurrents know better than to question him, leaving him an enigmatic, legendary figure whose respect is hard-earned and lasting.
