He is kept to a professional distance. He would like closer.

*Special Abilities: Old and capable Craft Master. 
*Weaknesses/Disadvantages: Craft, leaving Earth is not an option.
*History and Experiences Which have Affected Character Greatly: Well known as a womanizer and autobiographer. The whole tale was not told, as the man did not die when history so records.</P><P>He was exposed to magic at a young age by his Grandmother seeking a cure for his nosebleeds Giacomo continued to seek it until he found it, and then mindful of the times, hid that fact very well.</P><P>Over the last two centuries he has built himself a number of lives under three different aliases.</P><P>Giacomo came to the United States in 1939 with the waves of refugees from France fleeing the Nazi advance. He built himself a new identity as Giacomo Dryas, and found the quiet of the New York Catskill Mountains the perfect balm for a weary soul.</P><P>Now he finds that his age is once again catching up with him, but the world is more magic aware and friendlier about it. Perhaps the masquerade is not necessary.</p>Giacomo Casanova has not stopped being a seducer of women. Time has taught him better and more discreet methods. He is a serial dater, keeping a given woman for as much as a year before seeking the next conquest. And he is always willing for a little on the side.</P><P>In New York Casanova works from a 5th Avenue penthouse suitable for parties, rent controlled at a heart stoppingly low rate. This is his seduction pad and HQ for wheeling and dealing with the Jet Set. Monica McDaniel also lives here handing his business affairs.</P><P>The Catskill manor, it is the only way to describe it, is the country lair and balm for the soul. In style it is Frank Lloyd Wright, but livable. It is filled with art, beautiful musical instruments and his calligraphy. His magical work room is here. His current long term interest would be here as well. He seldom sleeps alone.</P><P> Casanova was heavily involved in the stabilization effort between the whole world and the Half world. Yes he saw more of Starry, but it went no further. Why is it the unobtainable is so attractive? Then again that attitude is part of the reason for her distance.
