Enraged by learning that her son Armando's inheritance had been split to a small fraction of his father's estate by the out-of-wedlock children Arturo had put in his will, there was a confrontation in which Arturo killed his wife Maria. Arturo sad and staged the scene to look like she'd been sleeping. Dr. Nightshade, an assassin hired by business or political rival Bonaventura Halevy, then entered and killed Arturo. Disguised as Giosef Arturo Filosopheno, the butler and Arturo's son, Dr. Nightshade called the police, who happened to have their bodies possessed by Firebreathing Kittens from the future. Discovered to be an imposter, he escaped. But twelve years in the future, the Firebreathing Kittens accused Bonaventura Halevy of his crime, and said they would accept capital punishment as the consequence. Bonaventura quickly agreed, asked Dr. Nightshade to kill him, and his body died and his soul went back to hell, from which devils like Bonaventura can relatively easily return (FBK didn't necessarily know he was a devil).

== Background / Personal history: ==
* Born poor and orphaned at a young age, Arturo quickly became a masterful manipulator on the streets of Jishoap. As he grew in ability and control, he saw that the biggest competitor he had as far as control, self-enriching, and punishing enemies was the actual elected government. He moved to Niqamui and started and organized effort to establish a criminal empire while displaying a clean outward appearance in order to deceive the populace into trusting and believing in him. On his meteoric rise to power, he met an equally ambitious woman in Maria Kaldova. They quickly realized how they could work together and achieve more than either could on their own.
* Arturo is a classic narcissist and would deflect blame and responsibility while claiming credit for the good ideas of others. He would punish those that would criticize him and destroy the name and livelihood of anyone he considered to be an enemy. As his son, Armando, began to pursue a more altruistic path, he grew in his disdain for his son. He would minimize Armando's concerns, blame him for the family's failures, and convince Armando that he would be alone for the rest of his life because he was unlovable.
* Death: A couple weeks after Armando moved out of their family estate, both Arturo and his wife, Maria were assassinated in their beds while they slept. Years of evidence of his wrongdoing was left in a circle around the room where their lifeless bodies laid. When the authorities showed up some of the evidence was "lost" as it implicated a good amount of the existing governmental authorities. Their joint funeral was attended by some of the most powerful people in Guaso.
** Fox statue: a tiny platinum statuette in the image of a fox. It is said to imbue the owner with great cunning and ability to influence. Upon the assassination of Armando's parents, it was the only thing stolen from the estate.
** In the course of investigating his death, it was revealed he had a couple of illegitimate children
