- Vulpiano Rossetti + (The Rossetti family has long served the Fi … The Rossetti family has long served the Fidante and Vulpiano is no different. Exhibiting the qualities desired by the then Duchess Giancinta Fidante for her personal steward, he joined her service early on and remained by her side through the twists and turns of her reign, advising her, organizing the servants and the various projects she left in his care, as well as serving as her cupbearer. They were many duties, yet he saw to them with the same efficiency and attention to detail that would make his reputation and ensure a place of honour among the House servants. Yet darker days lied ahead, heralded by the death of the Duchess' first husband and the decision to remarry. What then followed were some of the darkest days of Vulpiano's life, as the Duchess was killed and her new husband took over claiming the regency for himself. Vulpiano did not leave to join Leo in the Oathlands, though he never once believed the lies used to try and discredit Giancinta's trueborn son. He could not leave because to do so would mean leaving not only Giancinta's young daughter to the mercies of Lucien, but also waste an opportunity to fight Lucien from within his own household. Thus he did, subtlety sabotaging Lucien's war efforts, though never at the cost of his own perceived efficiency. He knew the only reason why he yet lived and hadn't been set aside was due to his own skill and the belief that his grief for his duchess had blinded him to the truth. Yet it would not fool Lucien forever. As the war went on, information leaked and Vulpiano was arrested and thrown in the dungeons to await execution. That the war wasn't going well, as well as the influence of Vulpiano and his own family's influence among other commoners and their families, were the only reasons why he wasn't slain on the spot. It would prove to be life-saving, for Leo would eventually triumph over his stepfather and by the time they opened the dungeons, Vulpiano yet lived. The experience had changed the man, however. Hardened him as it had hardened the other survivours of the war and its numerous tragedies. He would continue to serve Fidante under the rule of first Leo and then Calista, remaining in Tor while one after the other moved to Arx where they would rise and fall. He might have remained there till the day he died, were it not for the creation of House DiFidante from the ashes of House Volkov. Finding the new House may benefit more from his services than one already prosperous and established, he offered such to the Marquis and Marquessa and, upon their acceptance, finally made his way to Arx.r acceptance, finally made his way to Arx.)
