Il Ragno

==Personal Information==
====Mortal World====
Lucia de Esposito was born the daughter of a Neopolitan prostitute and left for dead shortly after – an unwanted cast off with milk white eyes that would never see the light of day. It was 1916 and the young men were joining the army in droves, off to join the conflict tearing throughout Europe.
The child was found naked, loosely wrapped in cloth and still covered with the blood and mucus of her birth. The creature that had found her took her deep below the city into the catacombs that were ruled by Il Ragno, The Spider. There she was raised beneath the city, a nursing mother whose child had died taken and ghouled to feed her and see to her physical needs.
The Spider remained a shadowy figure to her, known only by his voice and the strange clicking sounds he made. He took an interest in the child, having her sit by him and tell him stories of the world above as she joined the beggars in the city square.
==== Kindred Life ====
When Lucia came of age in 1937, she was Embraced. Her training intensified, as the night when the Spider would succumb to the sleep of ages approached. She began to act as her sire’s proxy, dressing as The Spider and attending the Court, reporting all back to her sire at the end of the night. By the time of Vesuvius’ last eruption, she had completely replaced The Spider with the members of the Court being none the wiser, her voice mimicry perfect and the deception complete thus she took over his empire as he directed. 
Networks of thieves, cutthroats and beggars criss crossing the city reported to The Spider, or owed allegiance to her in some way. Most would never meet her, and counted themselves lucky. She moved beneath the city, deep in the catacombs and conducted business to further benefit the Invictus. 
==Information Known by Kindred Society==
With the influx of Carthian influence within the city Lucia began to flex more of the long term respect garnered within the Invictus to be named Gaoler by Alder Lord Dominico degli Augustini in 1970. A new chamber of the Necropolis was built, closer to the surface, to house those deemed by the city to be in need of incarceration. With the succession of Lady Baptise de Veronese, Il Ragno swore vassalage to her and continued in this role within the city, her sire having slipped into torpor some years previously.
As time went by and technology advanced, to keep abreast of developments and utilise a source of information that could be quite valuable, Il Ragno took as vassal Donatello Romano – a young Nosferatu skilled in both building and bypassing electronic security. She also took a strong young neonate as an adoptive childe, Piero Salanero. He remains quietly by her side much of the time, but is rumoured to be violent and very adept at combat.
By modern nights, Il Ragno is a firm fixture in the Court, even if she attends rarely, and generally well regarded as a source of information on various goings on within the city.
