Name:
Location: Napoli, Rome, New Orleans, Italy

I was born in Rome, during the time of Titus Flavius Sabinus Vespasianus. Due to being an uncommon 6 foot tall, I fought as a gladiator. It must be said that I still adore the thrill of the face off. Thanks to cruel and unusual training, I soon became so adept, that when slavary beckoned - I was sold for the prettiest of pennies to a mysterious vampire. Arion immediately set me free of whoredom & squallor. Turning my hand instead to learning the fine art of Cameo making, in the shadow of Vesuvius. Then, I took "The Dark Blood" and ruled over him with devotion, obligation and a beloved iron fist. Almost everyone was of little consquence to my heart. All but Chaos itself, beloved Arion and Quinn - beautiful Quinn, my darkblood child.

Watchful - Night Island

I see why Armand loves his night Island. His rooms here at "Il Villagio" have given me an agreeable refuge since I made him leave. I come and go as I please, feed selectively and without sport. My mission of discovery comes together slowly. Nicki, Quinn and my vexing little Amadeo. How busy they are and becoming firm friends it seems. Maybe the Theatre will be one promise that Amadeo actually succeeds in keeping.

He's everywhere here. In the walls, in the soft silk bed linen that I am now wrapped in, the ripe little mortals who work here, speak the name Marius. Amadeo's Marius? It must be, I feel a great power in the air, as if time knows it's place and purpose. Strangely, I am drawn to Marius almost as much as I am to Armand. The Master is a way to know my redhaired tormentor better. Maybe, in his wise counsel, I can begin to fill the gaping holes in my memory at last. Perhaps even be a pupil again. 

I know, I am surprised too, but I know he will not judge me for loving Amadeo. He cannot loath that that he also feels, after all.
