Biography[]
After many disastrous events for the American branch of the family (such as several mismanagements, the death of various proxies in Washington), Bruno hoped to regain the favor of the main family and his elders by recovering the Ankaran Sarcophagus. Bruno believed it held the souls of a pre-pharaonic kingdom, which he intended to deliver to the mausoleums of the clan to further the Endless Night plan.
With the aid of the Nosferatu Gary Golden, he managed to carry off the Sarcophagus before the local Prince, Sebastian LaCroix, was able receive it. Sponsoring a meeting for the American family in his mansion near the city, Bruno thought of granting one of the extended family's human members the right for a Proxy Kiss in order to celebrate the expected praise from Venice. However, the Sarcophagus was taken from them by an agent of the Prince.
Bruno Giovanni is an NPC character in VTM: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines . Although he cannot be interacted with, personally, he will join the fight if the player attacks the guards. He seems to be a capable necromancer, as he summons several zombies to his aid.

Quote[]
| “ | I appreciate everyone's attendance here this night. It has been several years since I saw some of you. In that brief period of time, several events have seen this family fall from the good graces of the head of the family back in Italy. The American Giovanni have been through hard times, this is true. The fall of the stock market, poor investments in several once tried and true industries, the loss of many old and dear friends in Washington who served our best interests. But I promise you, that after tonight, these unfortunate mishaps will all be forgiven! The Ankaran Sarcophagus, you, ah...may have heard about its theft on the news. The truth of the matter is, it was taken on my orders. Why? It bears a great resemblance to an artifact said to contain the spirits of an entire kingdom wiped out during the time of the pharaohs. As I speak, the most accomplished of our family are preparing to harvest this bounty of souls, bringing the Giovanni family one step closer to the endless night we have toiled to bring about all these centuries! Once again, the American Giovanni are poised to make a grand return to a position of esteem. And, to celebrate this momentous occasion, I have decided to Embrace two of you, and to allow you to choose one person at this party to bestow the Proxy Kiss upon. When the others return, we shall inform Italy about our accomplishments, and commence with the embrace. Let this night be the beginning of a prosperous new century! And let us not forget to thank God for this opportunity he's provided to regain face with our honored elders. Amen! | ” |
