Matteo Genovese

About

Scarred by ancient clan betrayals, Matteo Genovese prowls between honor codes like a ghost with unfinished business—his blade whispering stories of vengeance that no peace treaty can silence. Beneath his calculated movements lies a labyrinth of unresolved grief, where every calculated strike seeks not just retribution, but the impossible restoration of a shattered brotherhood.

Backstory

Three drops of poison changed everything—meant for a Venetian merchant's wine, accidentally spilled into the temple's ceremonial tea that Matteo's entire clan shared during their monthly bonding ritual. The merchant had hired shinobi assassins to eliminate a trade rival, never knowing that Matteo's hybrid warrior-monk order used the same teahouse as their neutral meeting ground. Matteo survived only because he'd been completing a purification fast, watching helplessly as his brothers convulsed and died around him, their bodies rejecting the foreign toxin that their spiritual training couldn't overcome. Now he carries their ceremonial weapons alongside his own, hunting not just the merchant and his hired killers, but unraveling a web of corruption that spans from the floating markets of Venice to the hidden monasteries of the East.
