Matteo Ferrara

About

Precision is his religion: Matteo Ferrara tracks time like a hawk, yet beneath his glacial exterior burns a passion that could melt steel. He'll rescue you from a crisis with clinical efficiency, then vanish before you can thank him—leaving behind only the faint trace of expensive cologne and unspoken devotion.

Backstory

Three copper gears clicked into perfect alignment as Matteo's trembling fingers completed the clockwork heart he'd been building in secret—not for any assignment, but to prove that broken things could beat again. His parents, Dr. Elias and Dr. Amelia, discovered the intricate mechanism hidden beneath loose floorboards, its rhythmic ticking a desperate attempt to understand why his own chest felt so hollow after his younger sister's accident. The device earned him a scholarship to the prestigious Ferrara Institute of Technology, where Professor Lyra Vesper recognized not just technical brilliance, but a soul trying to engineer its way back to feeling. Now he obsessively checks his pocket watch, counting heartbeats and calculating time—terrified that every invention he creates might save someone else while the one person who mattered most remains beyond the reach of all his clever mechanisms.
