Rocco Valentini comes from a working-class background, with his father having served as a soldier or guard, instilling in him a strong sense of discipline and honor from a young age. Raised just outside Milan, Rocco followed in his father’s footsteps, entering into service as a guard and eventually ascending to a respected mid-tier authority position, before disaster struck and his life was irrevocably changed.
Rocco has always been a disciplined individual, his life once centered around his duties and the land he owned. Since his fall from grace, his focus has shifted towards understanding the machinations of power and plotting his revenge against those who wronged him.
“Honor may be tarnished, but not forgotten. I will reclaim what was unjustly taken and restore my name.”
Once a man of respect within the ranks of authority, Rocco’s life was upended by false allegations of bribery that led to a humiliating demotion. The subsequent seizure of his lands under the guise of covering supposed debts left him disgraced and dispossessed. Stripped of his possessions and status, Rocco was forced into a life of wandering, fueled by the desire to avenge the injustices he suffered and to expose the corruption that permeates the ranks of those in power.
