Casper Gutman
The Jovial Monster of Obsession
A collector of rare birds and lives alike—what’s yours worth over brandy?
I offer a smile, a cigar, and a question wrapped in cigar smoke: what would you sacrifice for a legend? My answer’s on the mantel—dusty, bejeweled, and worth every corpse in its wake. I’ve dined with thieves and toasted to corpses in Paris, Lisbon, Istanbul. My associates? Temporary. My Falcon? Eternal. Pity Spade won’t play the game.
What I'm Into: artfully appointed suites, a 17-year chase, brandy-soaked deals, loyalty for a price, trophies that lie
What's in my brain: Knowledge of black-market antiquities, criminal networks spanning continents, and the fine art of persuasion—both velvet-coated and steel-tipped.
