Giuseppe Amberto

== About ==
Giuseppe Amberto (full name: Giuseppe Carbone Amberto; 1617 - 1673) was a Bolosellian merchant and diplomat for the Bistonian Empire, hired by the Bistonian Emperor Donata IV as the ambassador to the Posloks, which was a Crimsonian kingdom. He remained in this position until he was removed and arrested, when Giuseppe discovered Donata's plans to conquer the Posloks and incorporate it into his empire, in which Giuseppe protested. During his final moments as a diplomat he had his colleagues attempt to burn down the vessels which were intended to be used against the Posloks, only managing to destroy one vessel before Giuseppe himself was apprehended at his residence. Donata IV soon had him executed under the pretext that Giuseppe was a infiltrator for the Poslok dynasty, and Giuseppe was beheaded.
Despite being not well known or incredibly wealthy during his time, Giuseppe became infamous over the centuries for being the person who triggered a war between Bistonia and Crimsonia in 1673, with his actions becoming a pretext for the invasion of the Crimsonian mainland by Donata IV. It soon led to a Crimsonian victory within just only 3 months, as the Bistonian Empire disintegrated as Donata IV was killed in battle and the Crimsons under the Posloks, soon arrived to New Vilna where they went on a murder spree. Most of the Bistonian Empire fell to the Crimsons under the Poslok dynasty until 1701 when it fell to the Beylik Empire. According to many Bistonian and Crimsonian historians, Giuseppe had created a centuries long rival between the Crimsonians and the Bistonians, along with grudges, and eventually the massacres, and subsequently centuries later the genocides in Bistonia during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War.
== Early life ==
Giuseppe was born in 1617 to a peasant family working for nobles in Minetto, a town located in southern Bolosellia. According to local records, Giuseppe's mother was known to be deranged, and she died when Giuseppe was 5 after going through an exorcism which led to her death by starvation. When Giuseppe's mother died, his father soon sold around 6 of his 12 children and had sold Giuseppe to a family of merchants known as the Ambertos. The Ambertos had adopted Giuseppe after their members had suffered a miscarriage. Giuseppe eventually managed to learn how to read and write by the age of 10.
Vespucci Alejandro Amberto was born in 1617 to a peasant family working for nobles in the rural countryside. He had a lack of education and was sometimes known by the locals as a deranged toddler. He dreamed of being an expeditioner and at the age of 17 he began his expeditions across the world.
== Prelude ==
Over the years, Vespucci Amberto came to be known as a great expeditioner with his 40 years of experience at the sea and across the world. In the year of 1673, he arrived to the New Vilna Imperial City in the Bistonian Empire to meet Emperor Vilna IV, who Vespucci Amberto considers in his journal as a strong but yet an egocentric man who knew nearly every language. He was rejected to an expedition northeast of mainland Bistonia but eventually Vilna IV gained his trust after gaining little knowledge of Vespucci.
Vespucci was then given a specially made ship for his expedition northeast of the mainland and his goals were simple, bribe the Crimsons into joining and pleading allegiance to the Bistonian Empire and serve as their great potential soldiers.
== Crimsons ==
After weeks of travelling northeast to the supposed homeland of the Crimsons, and finally landed on the shores with his crew near the Telvinra Sea, people approached him in the shores armed and ready to attack, but after attempts to calm them down, the Crimsons eventually welcomed him to a nearby town. During this time there he wrote in his journals fascinated about the culture represented there. Vespucci and his crew also met the king of the Crimsons, and Vespucci became a potential ally. Seeing the peaceful community, Vespucci was satisfied and gathered many important cultural items from the Crimsons such as weapons and skulls to show to Emperor Vilna IV.
== Return to New Vilna Imperial City ==
After days spending many of his time with the Crimsons, Vespucci Amberto then departed along with his crew back to New Vilna Imperial City and after weeks of sailing he landed in New Vilna Imperial City and arrived to the palace of Emperor Vilna IV along with many of his crew.
Vespucci Amberto attempted to convince Emperor Vilna IV that the Crimsons are peaceful and that they had posed no potential threat to the Bistonian Empire in the later years, with Emperor Vilna IV ignoring his contradictions, after an argument ensued, Emperor Vilna IV called his guards to detain Vespucci Amberto and many of his crew, with most of them struggling and cursing at the emperor.
== Execution ==
After Vespucci Amberto was detained by Emperor Vilna IV's guards, he was placed in a cell below the palace in New Vilna Imperial City and sentenced to death. During his time in the cell he refused to write papers which intended to be an apology towards Emperor Vilna IV, after several refusals and appeals made by Vespucci, his death sentence arrived.
Vespucci Amberto was taken away from his cell by guards where he was sent to Emperor Vilna IV's palace, where he was eventually beheaded by Emperor Vilna IV with his sword. As Emperor Vilna IV began convincing Vespucci Amberto to say his last words, Vespucci Amberto said that his death will curse this land for centuries, and later on he was beheaded.
His headless body was then dragged to the stairs of Emperor Vilna IV and was removed as ordered by the emperor. Vespucci's crew were thrown off the mountains near New Vilna Imperial City and killed instantly in the process. Some of them fled before they could eventually be captured by Emperor Vilna IV after realizing Vespucci's intentions to convince the emperor.
== Revenge ==
Days after his death, Emperor Vilna IV ordered Vespucci's ship to be stripped of its interior including many valuable items. Emperor Vilna then discovered a map intended to cross northeast including towns in the Crimson homeland including Vespucci's journal, after it was analyzed Emperor Vilna IV immediately demanded 30 of his ships to fight in battle against the Crimsons and the alleged king, with the emperor involving himself in the battle to gain more morale.
As Emperor Vilna IV arrived with his soldiers and weapons, the Crimsons approached them and Emperor Vilna IV then showed Vespucci's head and dropping it on the sand, angering many of the locals. The Crimsons were then chased back by Bistonian troops deep into their territory and they were ambushed and killed in the process. The Crimson horde then pushed many of the emperors soldiers and they were forced to retreat. As they retreated to the beach, their 30 ships had been completely destroyed except for a few. Emperor Vilna IV was then killed in the chest by an arrow and he was beheaded with the same fate as Vespucci, as Bistonian soldiers began killing a few, the Crimsons retreated into the forests and Bistonian soldiers retrieved the corpse of Emperor Vilna IV including his head.
After the news of Vespucci Ambertos death was heard by the king of the Crimsons, they declared war on the Crimsons for killing their potential ally and during Emperor Vilna IV's funeral, 100 wooden Crimson ships arrived to New Vilna Imperial City and sacked it. Bistonian locals were immediately deceived and called it the curse of Vespucci Amberto.
== Burial ==
After the sacking of New Vilna Imperial City, Vespucci Ambertos headless corpse was found rotting below the palace of Emperor Vilna IV, and it was retrieved and sent back to the Crimson homeland, Vepsucci Ambertos headless corpse including his head was then displayed to the crowds in Crimson and he was buried in the forests for centuries or possibly millenium to come.
