Birth Name: Luigi Di Rosso

Life is sometimes good and sometimes bad when you're born as the third child in a family of 6 children. And so it was for Luigi Di Rosso, with one elder brother and an older sister he got the benefits of an elder brother teaching him things and his sister babying him but also the downside of always having to try and keep up and survive the dress up inflicted on him.

His childhood and home life was happy and pleasent for the main part, his parents loving and siblings both friendly and annoying (as all siblings tend to be). Mafia life rarely intruded as it had always been there, the family was traditional Mafia through and through, a few had left to pursue other jobs but their loyalty was always to family so no trouble ever came from it.

Luigi not being gifted mentally learnt mostly from his father seeing little point in learning more than the basics at school. Being able to write his name and add up short columns of numbers was plenty for a boy troll who was already planning his career following his father in bodyguarding the bigger bosses, it was what the Di Rosso's had been doing for generations, even before they proved to be stable Trollish stock. Which was why it was sucha shock that the soxth child, George, was born as a very small baby.... a human. Life for a human child, and the youngest, in a troll family of boysterous children would be hard but Luigi always had a soft spot for George and this further eroded his school work as he tended to skip it to help out George.

Eventually, of course, he reached the age were he could really start helping out in the Family business and he proved his reliablity early and often. In the early years it was merely errand and message running, but later, and thanks to awakening to his magical abilities, he moved on to a range of jobs that being a large, strong troll was of benefit. It also had the advantage of giving Luigi a wide experience of the many activities that the Family was involved in and the attempted predations on their business.

Once he achieved his fulll growth he was placed under Julian Mancuso, a Capo Regime, in the New Orleans families. Serving as a messenger and rising to occational bodyguarding, Luigi really proved his loyalty four years previously when he took a bullet to the right shoulder in an attempted hit on the Capo and then later offered, and was accepted, to take the blame and the jail time when the local law enforcement refused to back off.

Refusing to turn state's evidence left Luigi with a bleak outlook of getting a long jail sentence even with his planned guilty plea, but to repay his loyalty the Family organised a very good legal representation and that coupled with time off for good behaviour saw the sentence reduced from Murder to Manslaughter and GBH and Luigi back out of prison in 3 years.

He didn't waste his time in prison either, and instead knowing that he'd be needed afterwards, he used the time as training time. Increasing his fitness and strength, fine tuning his control of his adept powers, and become a proficient boxer. It was also in this time of practice and reflection that he first met his mentor spirit and the wise council of Bear helped him stay true to his methods and come away from the jail term better than he went in.

OOC: Hopefully this should explain his background better and following is a list of his family *8-> I couldn't find a reference to what time the games in so I've gone for direct time reference instead... hence the 'four years ago' rather than a date, below I'm just going with ages for the family rather than birthdates for the same reason although I will list the actual day/month of the birthday so that I can try to remember to get presents at the right times *8->

Physical Description of Luigi:
8'6" about 330kg, heavily muscled with short dark brown hair. He has the mediterranian olive skin of his ancestors and bright green eyes. A pair of horns extend from juust above his temples and sweep back along the sides of his head and come together, almost to a point, just at the base of his skull (extending about an inch or two past the back of his skull). [@GM note: think the head bones on Mimbari in Babylon 5 just not connected to his skull]. Almost always dressed in a smart suit complete with tie and hat, he could almost pass as a business man, but something in the way he moves or looks at people belies that image.

The Inside Scoop:
Tatu’s a girl with a past, and she’s on the run. Originally from Atlanta, Tatu’s last job was simple: sneak into a corporate compound, find the target and end him. Somewhere inside however, things got a little… complicated. The man she was supposed to take out turned the tables on Tatu and ended up raping her as punishment. Tatu was shell shocked and bailed on the run, taking the Johnson’s up front cred and leaving the man alive. Since then, she’s had a special hate on for men, going so far as to change her sexual preference. She refuses any job that comes to her from Atlanta or from any Neonet faction, believing them to be the ones behind the failed run.
Tatu is incredibly wary, but also very defiant. She refuses to change her look or keep her head down, accepting that doing so may cost her her life.
Tatu’s main interests include drag racing, hardcore punk and fetish clubs; especially those that deal in dominance/submission groups. Recently, Tatu has developed a taste for Novacoke, turned on to it by a dealer in her favorite club, “Club Sound”.
Tatu’s specialities include: B&E (she’s skilled in Stealth and Infiltration, with a high Electronics skill and knowledge of corporate and civilian security systems.), she prefers to dispatch her victims using a monowhip garrote that she has secreted in the sleeve of her stealth suit. If the situation calls for more direct combat, she is fairly proficient in hand to hand combat (Kick Boxing) and the Heavy Pistol. Tatu does deal in the Matrix fairly often and as such has a higher then average (5) skill in areas like: Hacking and Data Search. She also has access to Shadowland: NO and uses it often.

The Inside Scoop
Griffon is a natural leader, he’s taken his Flock through good times and bad and they’re still here when a lot of other groups aren’t around to say the same thing. To those that deal with him, he always appears the same way; genial, dependable, soft spoken. To those that really know him – the man is ruthless. He’s proud almost to a fault, taking note of each and every fault, real or perceived, and harboring them. No insult goes un-avenged, just because it’s been six months since you made that comment about his hair… that doesn’t mean he isn’t watching you, and waiting.
Those in his Flock are under his care and protection, but that doesn’t mean that there any less likely to earn his wrath, perhaps more so as they deal with him on a semi regular basis.
His woman, Falcon, hates him. She stays because she knows there’s nowhere she can go that he won’t find her. He made sure of that a long time ago. He’s also got her hooked on Bliss, and makes sure that he’s her only dealer.
All work and no play make any man dull (even if he’s a sociopath), and as such Griffon has a few hobbies: rock climbing (he enjoys finding a perch and watching everything else below him), rock polishing (he’s been known to take on a run for a particularly hard to find or valuable stone… which has not endeared him to his crew… they can’t eat rock.) and royalty watching (ever since he found out that Queen Natasha Winters’ wife Evelyn went by the name Griffon and actually owns her own.. he’s been hooked and harbors a deep, frightening obsession for the woman)
Griffon’s specialty is combat magic. He’s got a lot of mojo (Magic Rating: 8 ) and he knows a lot of spells but hasn’t quite had the patience to learn how to control it, to bend it to his will (Initiate Grade: 4). According to Griffon, magic is what sets him apart from the peons below him, and he’ll use it to keep the status quo.
