Biography
Aristotle is a Greek Shipping billionaire and terrorist mastermind who plots to destroy the European infrastructure and power grid after learning that the European Union is planning to impose more sanctions on Greece. He once had a brief relationship with the wife of hitman Darius Kincaid, Sonia, before she tumbled off his yacht during a cruise and fell into the sea. After Kincaid, Sonia, and Kincaid's bodyguard Michael Bryce are captured by Interpol, they are forced to work together to try and stop Aristotle before it's too late. The trio escape from Aristotle's henchmen numerous times before eventually being captured by the villain and held hostage in his mansion, since they possess a silver briefcase that Aristotle needs to carry out his scheme. Aristotle apparently turns Sonia against Kincaid and attempts to have him and Bryce tortured, but they manage to escape while Sonia stays behind with Aristotle, much to Kincaid's dismay. However, it turns out that Sonia was conning Aristotle and is still attempting to help Kincaid and Bryce with their mission, but Aristotle discovers her treachery and prepares to have her killed.
During the climax, while Aristotle is aboard his yacht preparing to break into the European power grid using a large power drill, Kincaid and Bryce sneak onboard and manage to kill Aristotle's henchmen. While Bryce fights his father, Sonia is freed from her restraints and she helps Kincaid battle Aristotle in the main cabin before they both simultaneously shoot him repeatedly dead.
