+Now, here's the trouble with a group like the Vigilia Evangelica. They feel a need to crush every individual into a particular mold of "the perfect agent", and in doing so breed a level of resentment in even their most devoted followers. This forces them to occasionally withhold information, because you can't always trust someone to operate the way you want them to if they hate you - information such as the fact that those rumors had a kernel of truth to them, and that this group had in fact unearthed such a relic.

=Character Information=

===Summary===
An arcane acquisitions specialist hailing from the Italian Federation. Seems to be voluntarily mute, fully capable of speaking and yet choosing not to. Proficient in sensory magic - both those of enhancing and obscuring.

===Goals===

- Learn the secrets of G_d. Reveal Its true nature to others. Hide from Its gaze, for It is surely furious with the apostate.

- Find a new face. One that is comfortable to wear. The old one never suited the apostate, anyway.

- Seek weapons to face down Its servants, for the apostate is no longer bound by a vow of nonviolence.

==Background==

Luciano was not a normal child.

He always knew this, of course. He never clicked with the other boys growing up on the streets of Napoli. He could win their favor, yes - trinkets and cred, stolen from tourists distracted by architecture and street shows, served as a wonderful bribe - but that was all.

And he was fine with this. He didn't need sympathy, just edible meals and somewhere quiet to think & practice with his spark of magic. Thus, young Luciano found himself at Church more and more, as he grew up. He became quiet friends with a number of priests, and while originally he felt little devotion to the Faith, it proved a rather comfortable medium for channeling his spellcraft - at first just assigning formulaic prayer to particular spells, but over the years, he grew almost passionate about it.

In time, he would become a regular attendant, and effectively join the Clergy as a part-time helping hand, whenever he wasn’t busy picking pockets. He would count his profits in the back pews, and slip a fair cut of it into the donation basket.
He did not feel like he truly fit, but… it would do.

Then, a gruff mute came to the congregation, oddly curious about Luciano’s talents. He always came to sit by him while he counted, and learned many of his useless little secrets. Where his money came from, where he thinks his parents went, what verses he enjoyed, how he always felt a little distant from the others.

He also learned that Luciano did, in fact, possess the flavor of arcana he sought.

Some time later, Luciano stopped showing up to Church. He told his few close acquaintances that he’d been offered a chance to work somewhere out of town, that he might be back if it doesn’t work out. That was, however, the last anyone saw of him.

Wearing that face, anyway.

See, that man was not just a gruff mute - indeed, he was Deacon Marco, a recruiter for the Vigilia Evangelica’s *acquisitIonal* branch seeking talented young bodies with a connection to Christ and a need to be part of something. Luciano fit these specifications ex*actly*, and was swiftly shuttled to Vatican City, where he would spend the next seven years training among cohorts of troubled youngsters

To go into detail here would be a significant bloat, but the long and the short of it is - during this time, he made several acquaintances who would disperse amongst Church organizations, was formally trained in the skills that would let him serve as one of the Lord's silent custodians, and was thoroughly indoctrinated in the ways of the Church; no deviant behavior would be tolerated, as a moment’s hesitation could mean dangerous relics fall into even worse hands.

He was even bestowed with a blessing of purity, which would forevermore keep his body in good health.

(This was, in fact, a punishment.

This “blessing of purity” *would* keep him healthy, but it would forever try to reject the implant. They would always feel the itch of something unholy at the back of their neck. These days, they take comfort in this little rebellion.)

Luciano was a good servant. A redeemed criminal who now served G-d faithfully.

But then, he found Him.

There had always been rumors of things buried deep below sacred earth. Things too dangerous to be kept anywhere that could be accessed by hostile elements, so they were buried deep, in ground so holy no evil could hope to unearth itself.

The official story, of course, is that these are mere rumors. Such things would be safely protected in the Vatican's containment vaults, not left under a church - and Luciano agreed! Who would be so foolish? I mean, it's not like he ever saw proof of such a practice.

Or… he hadn't, until the events of June 6th, 2086.

It was a routine deployment, really. A suspicious group had become active in Napoli, and so Luciano - being familiar with the town - was sent to investigate, and retrieve any items of interest.
