Marquis Mario Decunti
The head of the Decunti Family, Mario prides himself on his ability to be liked by friend and foe alike. He has brokered peace between feuding lords, haggled concessions out of wealthy merchants and generally charmed his way out of almost every dangerous position he has found himself in. An avid dabbler in the healing arts, he has made it his life's work to cure death itself.
His good reputation and numerous good deeds not withstanding, there is a hidden side to Mario. He is the head of the Cosa Nostra, a group of organized crime families that have pulled the strings of Siconze politics for countless years. He achieved this status by 'helping' his abusive, sadistic father give up the position. He is fiercely protective of his family and proud of all the achievements of the Decunti people. His younger brother, though ruthless and cunning is loyal to a fault, acting as both head of the Sindacato di Assassino and consigliere.
His half sister is a free spirit and he has two adopted sons. Both have joined the military, but also follow in the family business.
Mario is known to be a happy, sticky fingered, womanizer that would rather end quarrels over vino than blades. But, in the seedy underbelly of polite society it is known that any quarrel that can not be smoothed out by his silver tongue, will be silenced by more covert means.

Visconte Roberto Decunti
Born as the second son to the Dectuni Family, Roberto has always lived in his older brother’s shadow. To others it appears that he detests the fact that he is constantly compared to his older brother as if it is some sort of competition to 'be the best'. It also didn't help that their father pushed this mentality every chance there was. However known only to a few is Roberto’s extreme faith and loyalty to his family and his older sibling Mario, who has on more than one occasion, saved Roberto from one incident or another. To hide this weakness and use the appearance of sibling rivalry a ruse was devised between the pair, one that would shape how they would control the future of the Decunti name.
Roberto unable to help himself from the temptations of life, drifted form the proper path and became somewhat of a problem within the higher tiers of society, gambling away his families fortune, making rather awkward political enemies, being to 'friendly' with the daughters of other nobles and a particularly annoying habit of ending arguments with a knife. Quick to anger and just as quick to draw a weapon it was often visible for people to actively give Roberto a wide berth or hastily apologize if some sort of slight could be perceived. By the time that his father had passed away, he was well known throughout some of the less reputable parts of the Siconze Dominion and had a rather nefarious reputation for trouble. Needing a way to solve this, rather than draw the wrath of the Ruling Council, his brother has given him the task of being the bodyguard to Fabio.

Needing a way to solve this, rather than draw the wrath of the Ruling Council, his brother has given him the task of being the bodyguard to Fabio.
Initially hating the task due to its restrictive nature, Roberto has come to respect and admire the devilish way that Fabio seems to always get his way and shares his attraction to the beautiful ladies, that obviously flock to Fabio's presence and uses this as an opportunity for himself. Most of all he has come to see the multitude of advantages that being the expedition leader's shadow has come to offer. Roberto is in fact the head of the Sindacato di Assassino that works within the Siconze Dominion, obviously obtained by killing his way to the top. He uses this organisation as a tool to enact the will of his brother Mario and that of the Cosa Nostra. The skill and efficiency of the Siconze assassin is well known throughout the entire dominion, some were rumoured to have ‘assisted’ during the reunification wars, others presumed to be responsible for certain political coups and the amount of wealth they’ve attained is rumoured to rival that of a noble house itself...Many an unfortunate soul has found their end on one of Roberto's various weapons.
Visconte Alfonso Del Lupo III
Everything about Alfonso is a lie. Regarding his family, he has variously claimed to be an orphan, the son of a wealthy wine merchant, or perhaps the illegitimate child of a foreign clergy member and the second daughter of a Marchese. Each identity is as a change of clothes and he slips them on and off with ease. He currently styles himself as the third Visconte of Del Lupo, a minor noble in the service of the ruling council, or himself, or whoever else is convenient. To any that would bother to investigate, the lands of Del Lupo do indeed exist; a small and out of the way holding that is well maintained and utterly innocuous. It is entirely possible that Alfonso legitimately owns them, a reward for some previous service.
Although his rank is unclear, Alfonso is in reality a member of the Osservatore - the hands and eyes of the council. Trained from a young age at one of the secret schools within the Scholitori Di Siconze, Alfonso is adept in subterfuge, spycraft, tradecraft, politics, the identification and use of magical artifacts, interrogation, torture, assassination as well a number of other less savoury martial traditions. He follows the directions of the council without question and takes great satisfaction in his work.

Melodia Esperto
Unlike her older brothers, Melodia was not born for a life of estate succession or military labour. Instead, at the age of 9 (two years after the end of the reunification war) she was enrolled into the Collegium il Scholitore Di Maghi. After several years of study in a variety of areas including art, history, mechanics and magic, Melodia discovered her passion in music and story telling. It was during these, her early adolescent years, that Melodia came into the company of Daan Occidentalo, a traveling bard. She became his apprentice, studying under Daan’s tutelage and the laws of the Bard’s guild. Idolizing famous (and infamous) bards, the likes of Elias Thalven Galdimane and Stewarto Bartelli, Melodia spent three years traveling and learning her craft, picking up many useful skills and tricks along the way.
Through her travels, Melodia heard news of the Siconze Dominion's plans to create an expeditionary party made up of the best Siconze and Old Raimanzan had to offer in all areas of study, character and tactics. As a bard, and being practiced in many areas of study, Melodia found her way into the group as a type of record keeper and advisor. Mostly, she was just extremely happy at the chance to continue her travels and learn a thing or two about fighting amongst the oppertunities Althea had to offer.
Esperto di tutto, maestro in niente.

Raphael Antonio Zampatti
Raphael is a simple man - he is quiet, loyal and strong. A son of the founder of the Zampatti Azienda, he and his father Giovanni were trapped in a collapsed silver mine that his father perished in. Somehow Raphael made it out alive and returned to work for his younger brother Martino (who had presumed him dead) and the Zampatti Azienda. Now acting as the man behind the scenes, Raphael ensures the Gambling rings, Whore Houses and ‘Bodyguards’ are all generating Ducats or Silver. Raphael just simply gets the job done - no matter the task.
Martino Zampatti
Martino is the younger brother of Raphael, but with completely different characteristics. Whilst Raphael is quiet & ruthless, Martino is more outspoken and flamboyant - he is the figurehead and in charge of the Zampatti Azienda. Martino likes to talk and uses it as his biggest weapon in negotiation and diplomacy for all of the Azienda’s ‘businesses’. Whilst Martino always prefers to keep his hands clean and be seen doing the right thing, he is prepared to get them dirty on the odd occasion. When that occasion does occur, Raphael is always nearby and any other arsenal that the Zampatti Azienda possesses - Martino doesn’t do anything by halves.

Living in the city of ‘Siconze’, Geppetoo had a good reputation among towns people, and his puppets were famous across the land. However around Cecilla’s 15th year, Gepptoo’s business plummeted, and he was forced to sell many of his prized puppets. Cecilla supported herself and her father by making and selling Italian hats. One day a rich traveller ‘Mercutio’ came to the city and admired one of Cecilla’s detailed hats. The very next day Mercutio asked Cecilla’s father for her hand in marriage in exchange for his weight in gold. In secret Geppetoo agreed to this arrangement. At this time, the city of ‘Siconze’ was under conflict (later known as the war of reunification), Cecilla was closely monitoring the conflict while going about her small business. Geppetoo’s news of Cecilla’s arranged marriage ended with a conflict of her own as she and her father had their first real toil. Cecilla decided to flee home while her and her father remained on bad terms. This was the day Cecillia joined the ‘Siconze Dominion’.

Vitalia

After developing a distrust of the arcane, Lorenzo join the Collegium il Scholitore Maghi and dedicated his life to the governance and control of all magic forces in an attempt to prevent another such event taking place.
Avorio
It is a tale as old as rhyme, a fable known throughout time. Of down trodden orphans from a harsh and bustling city being the unwitting custodians of grand adventures and ascension.
Like many young children in our time, our tale begins with two particular souls who were thrust to into a world of anguish and neglect. Indeed, if one were to stroll the early morning markets of [insert Sizconze’s main city], and possess a keen eye, it would not be a rare sight to witness either boy thieving from food stalls nor pickpocketing unaware passer-by’s in hopes for meagre scraps.
Despite their unassuming beginnings it is with these two street urchins that the tale of Two Brothers begins. Although nameless and unknown for most of their early childhood, Avorio and Ebano begun their journey together as obligatory rivals, competing over resources on the harsh and bustling streets of Siconze. Eventually, however, they earnt each other’s respect and gained an appreciation for the other’s talents. Later forming a mutually beneficial partnership.
Avorio, a quick talking, cunning thief who more often than not strolled head first into trouble in zealous bids for the greater spoils of life; and Ebano a sharp-eyed, taciturn child who’s strategically and physical prowess often meant he was plunged unsolicited into chaos that surrounded his friend, in order to rescue him from his self-inflicted predicaments.
For these two youngsters, bonded by friendship, survival was precarious. Something you never took for granted. They learned to judge people quickly - and to take risks. It is perhaps because of this, that they found themselves apprenticing for a former member to the Brotherhood of Assassins. This mentor, as it were, was once considered by those that held assassination as a form of art, as one of the continents most accomplished artists.

Ebano
Yet to be accepted, the two friends had to turn their backs on their old lives and embrace new identities. As Ebano and Avorio, Ebony and Ivory, as two brothers that worked in perfect harmony. Side by side in the shadows and amongst the unscrupulous they learnt to navigate the assassins' world of dangerous politics and strange magics – and cultivated a flair for death. Soon feared throughout the city, they came to be known by many names: I fratelli di Incendio e Azzurro (The brothers Fire & Ice), di Nero & Bianco (of Black & White), di Ombra & il Lume (of Shadow & Light).
Later in life, after the passing of their mentor and many enriching endeavours. The brothers sought out the Brotherhood itself. However, this amity did not last long. Soon Avorio grew disenchanted with the guild and their lacklustre appreciation for the beauty of life and love. Of passions and pleasures. And after bedding the grand master's consort, Avorio tersely left the guild, leaving his brother to linger alone.
Alas, the brothers could not be kept apart for long. Soon Ebano, in hopes to return his brother to the guild, and after the grand master’s sudden and unexpected death, tracked Avorio across half the globe. Yet, after many exacting years of estrangement, their reunion was tainted with the many enmities that had risen between the two – of abandonment, and indifferences, and eventuated in a struggle that nearly cost both their lives.
It is safe to say that after this encounter neither youth would ever return to the Brotherhood. For in their moment of near mutual annihilation, the two orphans from [xxx], the two brothers of fire and ice, of ebony and ivory, came to a realisation that they had returned to their origins. Alone, in a harsh, expansive world. Without either’s other half they were at odds with the cosmos. Yet, united they were harder, better, stronger, faster, and so they began anew, the next chapter in their journey.
It is perhaps here, where their true adventures really began. Unleashed, unbridled from the tethers that once held them, they ventured across many oceans and continents as masters of their own destiny. Sampling all manners of life’s pleasure.
Eventually, as young men, they came across a wise and beneficent man, Mario De Cuntie. Who offered them board, and soon a place to call home. Forging a relationship like that of father and sons, Mario adopted the two brothers, and continued to care for and educate them in mysteries of life, love, and vino.

Fabio Isfullo-Vito
Grosso Nero

Bellbando Tiddimotoboto
When I was a young boy, my father took me into old Ramanza, to see a marching band.
He said, "Son, when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?" ... AND THEN THERE WAS A GIANT MAGICAL EXPLOSION!!!!!! THE CATACLYSM THAT TORE THROUGH THE CITY RAGED BEFORE MY EYES!!! I STOOD FROZEN IN HORROR AS THE GROUND SHOOK AND WALLS CRUMBLED AROUND ME. I HEARD SCREAMS OF TERROR AND THEN... silence. I looked around me, one single tear slid down my cheek. I saw my father. On the ground. He was dead (like probably). Without making a cognitive decision, my legs were moving. My feet were taking me towards something I couldn't see, but I could hear. A helpless sound, a sound of terror. It was a yelping. I cleared a large piece of rubble to reveal a tiny puppy, struggling for breath. A burning heat rose in my chest and escaped through my eyes in the form of tears. They blurred my vision and I used my sleeve to hastily wipe them away. I wish I hadn't seen. The puppy used the last of it's life energy to look me dead in the eyes, and took it's last breath. AND I DECIDED, RIGHT THEN AND THERE, I WOULD BE THE HERO THIS CITY NEEDS (but didn't deserve).
Something, something... I joined the Siconze Dominion to f**k sh*t up and kill bitches.

Lelouch Esperto
The story of my life is both snore-worthy and entirely inconsequential. The real hero in my family is my sister, Melodia. (See her story for more details).
Ilaria
Primo de la Rossi
Presta Tradore
One of the older members of the expeditionary force. Presta was an adviser to the old emperor on all matters magical. Many suspect that his advice was behind the schism between the emperor and the college. But nobody has been able to prove his guilt or innocence.
Since the fall of the empire Presta has survived by making himself useful to those in power. Never a mover or shaker of his own right. But somehow he is always in the center of important events. First he allied himself with the college after the cataclysm, then with the ruling class of Siconze, and now with the expedition.
Presta's powers as a mage are phenomenal. But in public he is very careful to only operate within the bounds and authorizations set by the college. There are rumors of more illicit experiments behind closed doors, but there has never been any proof. His current officially sanctioned project is stabilizing the powers of the fire elementals. In this he has been keenly assisting the Lady Vitalia. There are whispers that he may be using the essence of his own soul to power the elementals. But so far no one has survived to bring tales to the college.

Artisana
At the heart of Siconze culture is Siconze fashion. And at the heart of Siconze fashion is Artisana. Her products and craft define the latest and greatest fashions across the Dominion. From Fabio's latest outfit to Presta's capes, to the military insignia of Bellbando. If a high class Siconze is wearing it, you can bet Atrisana had a hand in it.
But it isn't just about the looks. Artisana was the only child of a wealthy traders in the old republic. Lacking a son to take over, Artisana was trained in all of the skills required to run a vast trade empire. Artisana has people across the Dominion finding the finest goods for manufacture. The exterior of fine fabrics hides a ruthless bargainer, often buying raw materials well below market rates and selling at exorbitant prices.
Althea represents the latest trading point in a long string of successes. Whatever trade there is to bring back to the Dominion, you can bet she will find it.
