==Biography==
===Night's Collection===
Before 4 July 1933, former Chicago Spirit leader Mr. Night approached Ottaviano de' Medici and offered to sell a collection of items to Marshall, Carter and Dark, Ltd.. Because of the collapse of the Spirit, Medici had no reason for suspicion and, after being shown particularly useful items, it was sold to him for $50,000 ($1,209,769 in 2024). 
Medici later posted the lot (identified as "Night's Collection", or Lot C3S81) on 4 July 1933.'Night's Collection' (Lot C3S81)
===SCP-3668===
Between 1945 and 1946, after the Chaos Insurgency was defeated in the Seventh Occult War by the SCP Foundation and the Allied Occult Initiative, a former operative sold SCP-3668 to Medici. However, the item was later sold by MC&D to a private collector named Normand Iveries for $15,000 ($241,953 in 2024).Entry Page: 3668
===SCP-3477===
According to SCP-3477-23, a version of Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt, Medici met with him at his home on 20 November 1967. There, they sealed a deal regarding a transference of consciousness into a humanoid animatronic. In exchange, 3477-23 would work for MC&D for at least one hundred years to pay off their contract.Entry Page: 3477
===The Crocosquid's acquisition===
In 1988, Medici sent a memo out to the entirety of MC&D about the recent acquisition of the Crocosquid's corpse. Within the memo, he noted the damage to business operations within Hy-Brasil and the fact that King Delbáeth II sold the corpse to MC&D in exchange for paying for the removal. 
Additionally, Medici issued an order to try and sell the Crocosquid to prospective buyers, as keeping such a large corpse from rotting was difficult. He stressed to the staff members to not mention the potential for revival, out of fear of reprisal, but did suggest staff to bring up the potency of the Crocosquid for ritual, alchemical or other magical purposes.'The Crocosquid' (OCN39/87YUI/O9NH6)
===Capture===
Medici was eventually apprehended by the Foundation in 2018 after a drunk driving incident. Emma Struve attempted to send a memo to Medici about Queen Mab's interest in the Crocosquid; however, Jonah Blackwell confirmed that Medici was currently incarcerated and will likely reappear within the next two decades.
The Foundation later interrogated Medici, who confirmed that the meeting with Harold Holt took place and that SCP-3668 was sold to Normand Iveries, though he was not privy to Iveries' reasons for the purchase.
==Trivia==
