Backstory

Born in Sicily to a respected film director and mafia enforcer father and an academic mother from Casablanca, Morocco. His mother's marriage to his father was one of survival, not passion. Vincenzo internalized that; that relationships are tools, not sanctuaries. His mother was soft, nurturing, but unable to shield him from the harsh realities of his father's world. She died of sickness when he was still young. His father interfered with one of Vincenzo's first loves as a lesson to his son that even those closest to him could be used, discarded, or taken. By the time he was a teenager, he had compartmentalized affection as a threat. To love was to lose control. So he buried that instinct under discipline, detachment, and appearances.

He grew up in New Lira and studied film producing in Los Angeles. Later he inherited his father's place both on screen and behind the shadows as a movie producer and mafia underboss. His father was respected in both the film world and the Veccs. Now Vincenzo is determined to surpass him.

Residence

A grand villa-style manor in the wealthy part of New Lira, multiple mansions and properties around the world
