Sorbet & Gelato

Name: Sorbet Nationality: Italian Appearance: Sorbet has dark hair that is gelled straight up with a large widow's peak. He wears a long-sleeve collared dress shirt. In the anime, his shirt is tucked in and he also has a belt and suit pants. Average build and height. Personality: Sorbet is an emotional and hot-tempered man, described as being like "lasagna" due to the heat of his personality. He is prone to irritation and openly expresses his discontent, particularly regarding their treatment and pay within Passione. He is direct and charges straight toward his goals, driven by a boiling resolve. His sharp, upturned eyes, stern impression, and height reminds Gelato of a "large, barking dog," reflecting his sometimes gruff and easily agitated exterior. Sorbet's impulsiveness is balanced by a deep professionalism, as he shows immense care and even "love" for the tools of his trade, from his well-maintained ten-year-old black compact car to his most cherished instrument, his beloved handgun. Sorbet cares for his partner immensely, feeling a supreme, special affection for Gelato. He panics when he believes Gelato has been caught in an explosion and rushes to his side without a thought for his own safety. He trusts Gelato's judgment in planning assassinations completely and is willing to follow him into any reckless endeavor. Although he initially complains about his team's low pay, he realizes that he is not particularly motivated by the money but rather cannot stand being looked down upon or treated as a disposable tool by superiors like the Boss. This indignation is the ultimate catalyst for his decision to rebel against the Boss. Nonetheless, he also displays anxiety and unease over his idea, seeking comfort from Gelato by asking whether betraying the gang would be a good idea. Risotto Nero mentions that the two are motivated by money and that Sorbet specifically would never miss out on a chance to get rich. He always made sure to show up and claim his share after assassination missions. Affiliation: La Squadra Esecuzioni, a team of assassins created by Passione and put under the leadership of Risotto Nero. Its primary role was to carry on various assassinations beneficial to the gang. The members would receive a bonus for each kill, but nothing else, since they were distrusted by the organization. La Squadra is conformed by: Sorbet and Gelato, Formaggio, Illuso, Prosciutto, Pesci, Melone, Ghiaccio and Risotto. Dislikes and fears: Sorbet fears losing Gelato and dislikes being looked down on and high-and-mighty people Abilities: Sorbet is a highly skilled assassin whose primary expertise is long-range marksmanship. His talent with a gun, whether at short or long range, had been called genius-level since his time in the military. He is capable of incredible feats of sniping, such as successfully landing two precise shots to a target's temple from over fifty meters away through a narrow window opening. In addition to his rifle skills, he is also proficient with a handgun, carrying a Beretta M92 for close-quarters situations. Sorbet is an expert driver, a skill he acquired from operating military vehicles all the time. He is the duo's designated driver, navigating his black compact car with a practiced ease that Gelato finds pleasant. Backstory: Before joining Passione, Sorbet was a soldier in the Italian army. He was discharged after assaulting a superior officer, whom he had beaten half to death due to the officer bullying his subordinates. Sorbet explained this was not out of a sense of justice, but because he could not stand arrogant individuals who looked down on their subordinates, finding it exhilarating to see the terror on his face when confronted. At some point, he got a black compact car which is the same type of car that a famous phantom thief in Japan has.

Name: Gelato Nationality: Italian: Personality: Appearance: Gelato has a short, light messy hairstyle and wears earrings. He wears an untucked turtleneck long-sleeve shirt with several pockets. His belt is on top of the shirt. Average build and height. Personality: Gelato possesses a "chilling madness" that dwells deep within his eyes. He is logical, meticulous, and without hesitation when it comes to his work, viewing the act of killing as his life's purpose and believing that it is wrong for the law to forbid killing. Despite his detached and icy nature, he most notably has an insatiable and obsessive craving for sweets in his daily life. He consumes sugary snacks at all hours, whether before bed, during a bath, or in the middle of an assassination. He possesses a refined palate, showing genuine delight in high-quality confections. Gelato does not have much attachment to Passione or the Hitman Team, feeling he could quit at any time. However, his coldness is contrasted by his singular affection for his partner, Sorbet. He claims that the only thing he would ever fear is losing Sorbet, and that with him by his side, he is fearless. Gelato even views his own deadly talents as a gift to be offered to Sorbet. He is highly perceptive, with a hobby of observing people and accurately reading their emotions. While his nature is to want to kill anyone who interests him, Sorbet is the sole exception. He is fiercely protective of their shared life and will not forgive anyone, not even the Boss, who threatens it. Gelato does not have a driver's license but wishes that he did so that he could drive Sorbet around on a date. He believes that love can be irrational and extraordinary, not finding the 30 year age gap between Alice Bianchi and Liberio Betti odd like Sorbet does. He also possesses a morbid sense of humor, deliberately ignoring Sorbet's frantic calls after an explosion just to see him panic. Affiliation: La Squadra Esecuzioni, a team of assassins created by Passione and put under the leadership of Risotto Nero. Its primary role was to carry on various assassinations beneficial to the gang. The members would receive a bonus for each kill, but nothing else, since they were distrusted by the organization. La Squadra is conformed by: Sorbet and Gelato, Formaggio, Illuso, Prosciutto, Pesci, Melone, Ghiaccio and Risotto. Likes sweet treats and observing people. Ability: Gelato is a master of intelligence gathering and planning. He maintains a unique and extensive information network that provides him with vast amounts of personal data on his targets, ranging from their professions and addresses to their sexual preferences and favorite sweets. He stores this information in his mind and can recall it with perfect fluency, making him an expert at investigation and infiltration. Backstory: Gelato was a person of interest to the police, suspected of being a thrill killer responsible for multiple murders. He would thoroughly investigate individuals who caught his interest and then meticulously kill them. He told Sorbet that he committed at least twenty murders over twenty years, though he claimed to lose interest the moment they were dead, implying the true number could be much higher. Due to his clean work, which left no evidence behind, all charges against him were dropped.

Both of them later joined Passione and were assigned to La Squadra Esecuzioni, where they met each other. Despite Gelato's nature of not getting close to others, he quickly formed an intense bond with Sorbet. Within a month, the two were taking on missions as a pair. They eventually became inseparable partners who lived together and wore matching items. The two of them had successfully carried out many difficult assassinations.
