Rosselini

The Rosselini are a branch of the Giovanni family that originated in Italy. They share many traits of the main family, being another family that practiced Necromancy since the Roman Empire. They were assimilated into the family after a nasty incident with Claudius Giovanni in Rome during the 16th century, who ripped out the souls of the ruffians and forced the family to swear an oath of fealty to the Giovanni.

Among the Clan, the Rosselini are known for their cruel (even by Giovanni standards) treatment of their wraith servants. More than one Giovanni secretly suspected that the reason the Rosselini wound up serving the Giovanni (and not the other way around) was philosophical more than tactical. The Giovanni pursue necromancy for the power to exalt the family. The Rosselini do it because they simply like it. It’s an end in itself, and consequently, the Rosselini often try to do as much as they possibly can, as sadistically as possible, just to push the envelope. Following the Sixth Maelstrom, many Rosselini found their end when their servants turned against them, turning into hateful Spectres who sought only to destroy their tormentors.
