==Biography==
===Early life===
Valtieri was born in Chieti, Abruzzo, Italy on June 22, 1982. He graduated from college-level history and philosophy with a score of 98 in 2005, but lacked a teaching degree. His life before joining the SCP Foundation's Italian Branch is relatively unknown, besides his joining being before or during 2009. He was recruited as a researcher to Site Plutone, studying the thaumaturgy utilized by the Branch in his spare time.S5 Council Dossier
===Work in the Foundation===
Eventually, in 2011, Valtieri was transferred to the Esoteric & Thaumaturgical Department's Studies Section, specializing in the use and study of thaumaturgical anomalies. He assisted in the neutralization of SCP-███-IT alongside SSM-I "Sagitta Iovis" and the Director of the SSET A████ ██ C█████, becoming acquainted with SSM-I's commander, Colonel Laura Mileni. By 2012, Valtieri assisted in the training of SSM-I and developed a romantic relationship with Mileni.
Valtieri collaborated with the Confraternity of Saint George's Knights in the elimination of Dia-01█, also assisting the SSET director with expanding research programs; eventually, he became director of SRSET. At some point, Valtieri discovered OT-12, also known as the "Collection". He stores the most dangerous thaumaturgical objects inside. In 2014, he volunteered for a classified operation involving SSM-I. Mileni was killed, and Valtieri was seriously injured from the mission, losing most of his motor skills. He entered a severe depression as a result, taking a year and an indeterminate amount of months before he recovered after leave, interventions, and medical treatment.
===S5-9===
When he returned in 2016, the S5 Superintendence approved Valtieri's nomination for S5-9 to reward his sacrifice. In April, he assumed the position and also became the Director of the DET, reorganizing both sections to optimize resources and also beginning joint projects with other departments.
==Personality==
Before his injuries, Nono was the greatest expert on thaumaturgy in the Italian Branch, working on various thamaturgical projects and assisting in the training of SSM-I "Sagitta Iovis". After, Valtieri began to resent himself and his actions that led to his handicapping, feeling extremely responsible for what happened in his lifetime. He is very critical of himself, holding himself responsible for errors made by his Department. Nono is also highly unsociable, rarely appearing at events that do not interest him.
When working, he is cold and authoritative, but is also understanding towards his subordinates. Nono tends not to move from his office at Site Deus, even for S5 meetings; this has caused great friction between him and the rest of the council, particularly Primo and Settimo. Despite the friction, he is highly respected among the staff at Site Deus and occasionally contributes to research outside of his preferred subjects. Nono had lost his love for many things, only enjoying thaumaturgy, history, and philosophy; he spends much of his time studying and experimenting in these subjects. During his free time, he enjoys reading, studying, and high quality food.
==Attributes==
Because of his injuries, Nono must take a pain-relieving medicine to keep his respiratory system in control. As a result, Nono regularly visits Site Asclepius for his medical needs; particularly seeing Dr. Emilia Lombardi, the hospital director there.Researchers' Dossier He can be found coughing heavily, also being unable to sustain physical activity. Despite this, Nono dedicates at least a few hours to a workout regimen. He keeps an arm's distance away from everyone, including his personal staff, though he stays friendly with them. He keeps working relationships with Drs. Luca Morelli and Chiara Rodio, as well as Colonel Valeria Cattaneo of SSM-I; Nono has at least some contact with every SSM.
