Story: The third son of Girolamo and Annika Cerrenzi. Vittorio was the baby of the family. His eldest brother (Reynaldo) was set to inherit the family merchant enterprise. His elder brother (Benvolio) had gone into the priesthood. His 4 sisters would have fat dowrys to gain them husbands but there was little that Vittorio would gain. He was an indifferent student at the unversity in Salerno, so finally one day he asked his father for one ship. a decent crew, and to secure from the Doge, a privateer's charter.

Vittorio took to the sea. And he was good at it. He made a name for himself as the "Crimson Jackal." Then one night they came upon another ship off the coast of northern africa. They attacked and were repelled by the crew who turned the tables on them. They turned them back and this kept going until finally Vittorio and his exhausted men were finally over matched.

The Captain was a tall foregn woman. Her bearing was regal and her Italian was cultured. She asked who this man was who had fought so bravely. Thinking he was dead anyway, Vittorio drew himself up to his full height and said, "I am the Crimson Jackal."

She replied, "Yes...Yes. i suppose you are." He was clapped in irons, thrown in the hold, and taken home to Cairo.

He served as a ghoul, was educated exhaustively in the secrets of the clan, and went forth as the red right hand of his mistress. He even preyed on his own family's ships. Finally, when the time was right, Nebseni embraced and began his education in the powers of his clan. Following that, She released him into the world to find his own place to serve the dark god.

Returning to Venice was a disaster. Not only did he discover that his father and eldest brother were Lasombra Pawns, but he also discovered that Benvolio had true faith and knew him for what he was. So now Vittorio stalkes the world looking for a way to reclaim that which he lost.
