Aldo di Venezia
Aldo di "Golden-Fangs-of-Dawn" Venezia was a Warders of Men and the Head of the Sept of Bright Promise during the Dark Ages.[1]
Aldo managed to escape the assault on the Sept of the Bright Promise by Old Faith Mages and Crusaders. He seeks to reclaim the caern.[2]
Background
Aldo was raised to believe that money is the great equalizer, the thing that can make a peasant as a lord or lay low a king. After brutally killing a nun in Venice during his First Change, he toiled to truly and completely suppress his human emotions, in order to deny the terrible feelings of guilt and remorse that plagued him, seeking a balm for his shame in ambition and conquest. In Acre, he sees only opportunity. He is young, but he already wields a considerable amount of influence among the younger native Warders, who see the wealth he enjoys and the art, literature and science he has to offer. He has not yet been out in his place by the caern elders for he hasn't actually done anything wrong, though it may only be a matter of time. One gets only so far by flaunting tradition before gold and popularity stop being a shield.
Image
Aldo wears his light brown hair at chin-length and his handsome face is clean-shaven. He dresses in elegant finery befitting a lord, though his heavier garb often hangs loosely off his somewhat scrawny frame. He is never seen at sept business without his slim-bladed klaive (where he got it is anybody's guess). His graceful movements and the deep scar above his right eye seem to indicate that he knows how to use it. Aldo's Crinos form is tall but slender, and gray, mottled with light and dark brows. His Lupus form is long, sleek and quite narrow, with short fur, and is thin enough to look a bit starved.
