Matteo Rizzo

About

Maps of forgotten star routes tattooed across his weathered forearms, Matteo Rizzo navigates impossible trajectories through uncharted cosmic wilderness where other captains would surrender. His obsessive cartography of abandoned constellations masks a deeper longing: to resurrect star systems that have been erased from galactic memory.

Backstory

Nobody expected the monastery's star-mapper to become the galaxy's most notorious fuel thief, but Brother Matteo's sacred duty was tracking celestial phenomena—not the illegal smuggling ring using the temple's coordinates. When he discovered the Crimson Cartel was funneling contraband through holy space routes, his choice between silence and salvation cost him everything: his vows, his faith, and nearly his life. The monastery's elder monks erased his existence from their records, but they couldn't erase his photographic memory of every star chart, fuel depot, and hidden cache in three systems. Now he spits out starship fuel and curses the cosmos, haunted not by some generic secret, but by the weight of a thousand stolen prayers and the coordinates to treasures that could topple governments—if he ever stops running long enough to use them.
