House Valisti

House Valisti is a family of merchant princes operating out of Treviso and affiliated with the Antivan Crows.
== Background ==
The Valisti dynasty was founded by Princess Liviana, a member of the Antivan monarchy who joined the Antivan Crows and eventually rose to the rank of First Talon. She then married into the then-floundering Avastana merchant house and turned their fortunes around. 
In 9:28, Prince Claudio Valisti arranged for the assassination of Rinnala, one of Prince Estefan's bastards who was being put forward as a legitimate heir to King Natale by the Rosso Noche cult, so that House Valisti could press a claim for one of their own instead. Although she was an assassin of House Arainai at the time, Master Eoman Arainai agreed to have her assassinated in exchange for the rank of Eighth Talon.[note]
By 9:34 Dragon, when Claudio took over as head of the family following his father's death, House Valisti had fallen to the rank of Eighth Talon due to mismanagement, and threatened to fall even lower into the rank of the minor cuchillos. Claudio quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming Third Talon.
