Antonio Giovanni

Race	Vampire
Splat	Giovanni
Title	Don

Physical Description
A Stocky man of Italian descent, Antonio is slightly cumbersome due to his size. The head of the Giovanni is broad shouldered and thick boned. He prefers to wear clothing from his mortal days half a century ago.

Personality
Antonio is a pragmatic man with a flair for organisation. He knows what he wants from life and what is unimportant. He wants luxury and comfort for his family. He wants to pursue his Necromantic studies at his leisure and he wants to live forever. The Sabbat under Bishop Santiago provide this and so he finds that he is pleased to follow their lead.

Story
A century as a Giovanni ghoul was spent robbing graves and studying cadavers. Antonio was involved in the family crime syndicate more as an observer than a thug. He studied the effects of fear and the last moments of the family's victims. All of this was reported back to his Domitor and the two would often call back the Wraiths to learn more.
Once embraced, Antonio continued with his studies and his acceleration on the Road of Death and the soul. He rose to power among the criminal element almost by accident. Surviving not one, but two major gang wars with his rivals, Antonio became the Don of the Giovanni because he was the eldest Giovanni Vampire in the City. His sire had long since passed into a torporous sleep that has not ended and he did as was expected without complaint.
When Santiago handed him the streets of Gotham along with an offer he could not refuse, he leapt at the chance. Handing the reins of power over to the Lasombra left Antonio more time for his true love, Necromancy. Since that night, Antonio has spent his nights equally studying his art and keeping the Family's minions organised.
