Baldesar Rossellini

In life, Count Rossellini epitomized the characteristics of the Giovanni noble: a thin veneer of civilization over pure brutality. The count served the family for many years and built its mercantile empire and cut out more than a few human weeds who sought to challenge Giovanni interests. Baldesar was a monster in his own family life as well, brutalizing and raping both his wife and sister. Baldesar was finally granted the Embrace as a reward for his role in the capture of a Cappadocian during the Giovanni Blood Hunt. Baldesar then brutally inducted his sister into the family, with the permission of his sire. As a vampire, Baldesar was adept at amassing money and inspiring fear; his influence tainted a hundred port cities around the world. Unfortunately, he proved less than adequate to the task of mastering necromancy.
