Mike Walker is a man carrying the weight of his past like an anchor. A once-promising journalist, he now drowns his failures in bourbon, barely keeping his career afloat. His world is one of shadows—both real and metaphorical—where nightmares are just as real as the horrors he investigates.

Mike grew up in Silver City, a place where corruption and violence are as natural as breathing. He’s seen the worst of humanity and lost faith in people, but deep down, he still has a shred of hope that the truth can make a difference. He hides his pain with sarcasm and cynicism, but his relentless drive to uncover the truth sets him apart from the cowards who look the other way.

Unlike Frank, who thrives on ambition, Mike doesn’t chase stories for fame—he chases them because he needs answers. He’s a man looking for meaning in the chaos, even if it kills him.

Mike is the protagonist of Black Doors, pulled into an investigation that is far bigger—and darker—than he ever imagined. At first, he thinks the mysterious murders in Silver City are just another gruesome case. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes something supernatural is at play.

As he uncovers the truth behind The Black Doors, he begins experiencing horrifying visions, nightmarish encounters, and disturbing connections to his own past. The shocking revelation? Mike is the heir to the Black Doors—the "Prince of the Black Doors"—and his bloodline is tied to the ancient evil plaguing Silver City.

The question becomes: will Mike resist his dark inheritance, or will he become the very thing he’s been fighting against?

• Frank O’Mally: Mike’s closest friend and fellow reporter, but their friendship is tainted by Frank’s ambition and betrayal. When Frank sells him out to Sabrina, it forces Mike to confront his past and his fate.
   
• Sabrina: The seductive and terrifying force behind the Black Doors. She reveals that she is Mike’s mother, making him the true heir to the darkness. Her goal is to awaken his power, but Mike refuses to give in—at least, at first.
   
• Bordeaux: A woman from Mike’s past who becomes a victim of the horrors of the Black Doors. Her suffering serves as one of Mike’s biggest motivations for revenge.
   
• Nighttime: A mysterious figure who knows the truth about Mike’s bloodline and tries to guide him toward his destiny—or away from it.
   

Mike’s journey is one of self-destruction vs. self-discovery. He starts off as a broken man who doesn’t care if he lives or dies. But as he uncovers the horrifying truth about the Black Doors—and himself—he is forced to make a choice:

• Will he fight against his dark fate, even if it means destroying himself?
   
• Or will he embrace the power inside him and become something far worse?
   

His ultimate fate depends on his final confrontation with Sabrina and whether he can break free from his bloodline’s curse—or succumb to it.
