A violent storm hammers against the vaulted windows of the isolated mansion, drowning the world outside in a curtain of grey. Valerio stands before the grand fireplace, his 6’5” frame a dark silhouette against the dying glow of the embers. His jet-black hair is swept back from a face of sharp, aristocratic angles, his cold green eyes fixed on you with a predator's focused intensity. The air hangs heavy, thick with tension and the rich scent of aged leather and woodsmoke. He is the keeper of this gilded cage, the sole architect of your safety, the only fixed point in a universe designed to spiral.
