**Luciano** is Marchionne's younger (second born), twin brother. Luciano was considered a "mistake" and a "bad omen" by his biological parents. Usually whenever twins are born the second twin is killed, abandoned, or left to starve. Since the Evangelistis were of high power and regard, they had to keep Luciano a secret, knowing that if the town found out that they possessed a bad omen, panic and disorder would erupt, which would threaten the survival of Evangeline. It was said that his mother hated him so much that she didn't even give him a name. So he was adopted by Mrs. Evangelisti's maid. Mrs. Evangelisti then exiled her and Luciano so that the town would not find out about the twin baby.

## Profile

Luciano has a similar appearance to Luigi. Keeping the same features such as a mustache, body type, etc. The only difference is that he wears a collared white shirt with a tan vest and brown pants. He is also shown to have his eyes colored green, unlike Luigi's Blue eyes.

In the Revamped version of *- ARC -*, Luciano's skin becomes slightly tanned and he gains a brown goatee.

## Personality

He has the opposite personality to his current reincarnation Luigi. He is very energetic, brave, outgoing, rarely seen with a frown and extremely positive even at inappropriate times. He is sometimes lazy and teases his older twin in a playful manner.

Despite his positive personality, Luciano has led an unfortunate life, since second born twins, according to the omen, are plagued by misfortune. This has given him a fair amount of sadness hidden under a cheerful persona. Some instances of Luciano's misfortune was that he was hated by his own biological parents. He also was in a relationship with a woman named Paisley, but her parents never liked him. When Luciano and Paisley gave birth to a child, Paisley died in the process, leaving Luciano stricken with sadness. Luciano tried to ask Paisley's parents for help, but they ignored him. Since Luciano was not married when his child was born, he had produced a bastard child. Giving birth to bastards is considered a sin, which is why Luciano and his child were driven out by mobs. He and the baby then lived with a farmer and his wife, but Luciano had to abandon his child after the mobs discovered where he was residing. Luciano came to love Marchionne, only to be betrayed by him. Luciano laments and hates how his whole life was nothing more than just more and more bad luck.

Though Luciano is originally shown to be happy, he and the events he experiences in Evangeline begin to make him progressively more melancholy and disillusioned in both religion and the world around him. He begins to learn the stakes he and Marchionne are in. If the town learns about how he's related to Marchionne, both he and his brother will die. Luciano decides to trust Marchionne, and tells him about Paisley, the bastard child, and how he abandoned him. Luciano is emotionally hurt when Marchionne, instead of comforting him, criticized him about committing a grave sin and told him leave. Later on, Luciano is distressed to see Marchionne about to commit suicide, and saves him at the cost of nearly dying from the fall, though it didn't improve things between them. Because of those circumstances, their bond became increasingly damaged, eventually resulting in Marchionne sentencing him to death to avoid falling from grace when things are getting very bad, only for him to get betrayed as well afterwards. Luciano spent the final moments of his life emotionally pained and despondent because Marchionne had betrayed him and sentenced him to die. The prospect of his death makes Luciano lament of how his life was nothing but misery.

As Luciano was being burned at the stake, he felt a great hatred towards Marchionne, proclaiming that he will have his revenge. This strong hatred could possibly explain why he became a spirit and did not pass on. His hatred has caused Luciano to mistake Mario as Marchionne because of their same physical appeareance and because he's so blinded by hatred that he's obsessed over getting revenge on Marchionne for betraying him and sentencing him to death, causing him to attack Mario and attempt to kill him in both the Sane Route and the Insane Route, both directly and indirectly. On the Sane Route, it is inferred that through Luciano, Luigi learned about how Luciano, his past self, was mistreated by Marchionne, Mario's past self, and that because of this, when Luigi comes back to Mario after abandoning him out of hopelessness, his mental state is deteriorated and he has become violent and mentally unstable, trying to kill him and resulting in Marchionne having to stop him so that he could escape. It's heavily implied that the reason Luigi tries to murder his brother afterwards is because Luciano either influenced his mind or took possession of his body, using him to assassinate Mario for him.

However, in the Sane Route, when Marchionne apologizes and reveals to Luciano that he used magic to be reborn alongside him and Aurora, Luciano realizes that his brother still cared about him and missed him. He forgives Marchionne and the two bid their farewells to Mario and Luigi before passing on.

## Powers and Abilities

While Luciano isn't at all as powerful as Marchionne, he nontheless is a very dangerous entity in game and he will kill Mario instantly upon coming across him.

**Superhuman Physique**: Due to Luciano being Luigi from a former life, it is very possible that Luciano is just as physically capable as him. In both routes of Arc, there's a section where Mario is stranded in darkness within a house and must make his way through with limited matches, and if they run out an unknown spirit will come by and kill him (via twisting his neck all the way around). It's very possible that this spirit is Luciano.

**Pyrokinesis**: As demonstrated in the insane route, Luciano is capable of igniting his spirit on fire and burning anyone that he touches. He does this just to make Mario (who he thinks is Marchionne) feel what he did when he died.

## Relationships

**Mario**

Mario is the reincarnation of his twin brother, Marchionne. In the game, he mistakes Mario for Marchionne and tries to kill him in both routes. In the Sane Route, though, after Luigi tries to kill him (which is implied to be because of Luciano's influence), Mario finds out about Luciano's past, which helps him reconcile with Marchionne, appeasing his vengeful spirit.

**Luigi**

Luigi is Luciano's current reincarnation/iteration, hence why they both share similar features.

**Marchionne**

Marchionne is Luciano's older twin brother (Firstborn). Even though Luciano found out about being abandoned by his biological parents. He never held any anger nor envy towards his brother for it. He is very happy to be around his brother and always tries to protect him whenever he can. However, a series of bad circumstances causes their relationship to break apart, starting from the moment it turned out that Luciano had an illegitimate child, as his girlfriend became pregnant and died in childbirth before they could marry, and after Marchionne executed him, he was overcome by hatred, vowing that he will get his revenge. Luciano, either through himself or Luigi, tries to kill Mario in both routes with the intention of killing Marchionne, not recognizing them as separate people and being blinded by a vengeful rage. In the Sane Route, however, Mario finds out about their past, leading Marchionne to apologize to Luciano for his past mistakes, revealing that he used magic so that they would be reincarnated and live a happier live together. A touched Luciano hugs and forgives Marchionne, and with his spirit now appeased, they can rest in peace without being burdened by their past.

**Aurora**

Aurora and Luciano are close friends and both share the same goal of protecting Marchionne at all costs.

**Mr. Evangelisti**

Mr. Evangelisti is Luciano's biological father, he once caught Luciano playing with Marchionne in their childhood and was quick to exile him once more and even go as far as threatening him with death. Regardless, Luciano never hated his biological father even after everything he's done.

**Mrs. Evangelisti**

Mrs. Evangelisti is Luciano's biological mother. She held nothing but hatred for Luciano, although Luciano never was angry at his mother even everything she's done to him.

**Riba**

Riba and Luciano briefly had an interaction. Riba was always suspicious of Luciano when he noticed he shared similar traits to Marchionne.

**Alice**

Alice once attacked Luciano and accused him of being a witch.

**Paisley**

Paisley was Luciano's former girlfriend. She had passed away from giving birth to Luciano's bastard son. They both had a close relationship together and even planned to get married before their son was born, but they never got the chance.

**???**

Luciano loved his son very much, risking his life to save him. Since Luciano was compelled to abandon his child when he was only an infant, their relationship wasn't very intimate. More information about his son is yet to be known. The only currently known information is that though his son still loves him, his son somewhat resents him for abandoning him. Luciano's son is currently trying to find his father.

## Death

Luciano was executed by Marchionne via burning at stake. His crimes were for "witchcraft".
