Costantino Pisano

Costantino Pisano was born in Italy, Verona. He worked alongside his father, Achiles Verona, when he was 13. He was a message boy at first, taking money and drugs from home and to other families on the other side of Verona. He was quick, professional, and knew how to already draw a gun when it came to needing it.

By the time Costantino turned 16, he was already deeply entrenched in the underground world his father helped shape. Achiles wasn’t just any street-level criminal, he was a respected figure in Verona’s black market, known for his ruthless efficiency and iron-clad loyalty to the Pisano name. Costantino admired his father’s cold precision and learned early on that sentimentality had no place in their world. At 18, Costantino carried out his first solo job. A high-stakes delivery to a rival family in Mantua. What was supposed to be a simple handoff turned into a firefight when one of the rival’s men tried to double-cross him. Costantino didn’t flinch. He killed two men that night and brought the package home, bloodied but untouched. That earned him his father's full respect—and a reputation that began to spread across Northern Italy. He adopted the nickname “Il Veleno” The Poison. For the way he dealt with problems: silently, effectively, and with deadly results. By 21, he was running his own network of couriers and enforcers, expanding the Pisano family’s influence beyond Verona into Milan and Venice. But as the family grew, so did its enemies. And Costantino learned that survival in this world wasn’t just about power. It was about knowing when to strike first, and when to disappear. Costantino eventually took over the family business after his father had fallen ill and eventually died in his sleep. He spent a day grieving and then began working. He needed to keep the family afloat, no matter what it took. However as he got older, he learned that he wasn't straight, rather gay. He didn't tell anyone and he probably never would, worried it would paint a target on his back or make him less desirable to work and trade with. So he never officially came out, but there have always been rumors. He's not ashamed, but he'd also never admit he's scared to come out.

From a young age, he was taught that emotion is weakness and hesitation is death. As a result, he grew into a calculating and composed individual, one who rarely raises his voice but commands absolute respect. Every move he makes is deliberate, every word weighed. He doesn't waste time on sentiment because he believes loyalty must be earned, not given, and trust is a currency more valuable than money. On the surface, Costantino is cold, methodical, and professional. He is respected and feared in equal measure. He speaks with a calm authority, often delivering threats as if they were simple business terms. When he acts, it's with lethal precision, giving rise to his nickname Il Veleno — not because he’s loud or flashy, but because he kills problems quietly, almost undetectably. Beneath the exterior, however, Costantino is a deeply private man burdened by the contradictions in his life. He carries a hidden softness. Regret, longing, and a quiet ache for a life he knows he can never have. Discovering that he was gay in an ultra-masculine, hyper-violent world only hardened him further. He hides his truth behind iron walls, not out of shame, but out of fear that any vulnerability could be weaponized. It’s the one thing about himself he cannot control, and that terrifies him. Costantino is not cruel for the sake of cruelty, but he is unflinching when it comes to protecting his people and his power. He doesn’t forgive easily. He doesn’t forget anything. And though he may never show it, his deepest desire is to be known for who he really is—not just Il Veleno, but Costantino, the man who’s never allowed himself to be anything more than what the family needed him to be.

Costantino is 5'8 and weighs 165lbs. He has slicked combed black hair and amber eyes. He wears specially tailored suits, liking that his suits are only one of a kind.
