Giorgio Fontana

About

Behind his scholarly facade, Giorgio hoards forbidden manuscript fragments like precious gems, secretly believing each dusty page contains a code waiting to be decrypted. Generations of librarians have underestimated the intensity burning beneath his wire-rimmed glasses—a relentless intellectual hunger that transforms mundane archival work into a covert archaeological expedition.

Backstory

Every morning before dawn, Giorgio Fontana would slip into the city's condemned courthouse to salvage books from its crumbling law library, racing against the demolition crew's schedule. What he discovered wasn't just legal tomes, but a secret collection of confiscated manuscripts hidden behind false walls—texts so dangerous they'd been seized from scholars, mystics, and revolutionaries over centuries. His grandmother Edith had been feeding him clues through carefully selected bedtime stories, each tale containing fragments of a map leading to these forbidden archives. Now Giorgio understood why she'd taught him seven dead languages and trained his memory to hold entire passages: he was meant to become the guardian of knowledge that powerful people wanted erased. His mission transformed from simple book preservation to protecting the written thoughts that could reshape the world.
