## Nicknames

'ccardi\*
Uncle 'Cardi\*

Accardi is a resident of Rosso Cadere that Ryker encounters on their journey. He is also occasionally a playable character.

## Appearance

Accardi is a tall, broad-shouldered black man with fluffy purple hair that covers his right eye. His eyes are honey-colored, and he has sparse facial hair. He wears a well-tailored two-piece purple/black suit with a floral-patterned left sleeve. He also wears a white button-up and untucked white cravat. Accardi also wears black leather gloves.

## Personality

Accardi is a flirty and soft-spoken man, enjoying the romantic side of things. He mentions how he finds French a "very romantic language" in one of his first exchanges with Ryker. He also asks them if they've ever been to Paris.

Upon seeing the wounds he caused on Ryker, he's shown to be visibly uncomfortable with the blood, and yet he mentions his interest in medicine and surgical procedures, much to Ryker's confusion. He also takes photographs of Ryker's battered body after hitting them with his car.

Prior to Ryker leaving his house, he tells them he finds their quest for vengeance rather fascinating, especially given their position as a priest.

He cares for his friends to a considerable degree, visibly distressed hearing about Vittorino's situation and having a heartfelt exchange with Juliek about growing and both men's love life.

Accardi is also physically strong, being able to pick up and carry Ryker.

## History

**WIP**

Born in Italy (Florence?), Accardi met many of his current friends in Italy, such as Vittorino and Gabriel. Eventually he moved to Rosso Cadere where he lives presently.

At some point in the game, an unknown figure requests that Accardi use his (once) dexterous hands to assist in performing a taboo surgery within the Basilica. This figure's identity is not known but is implied to be one of three people. Regardless, Accardi found himself unable to really resist and assisted the figure in performing the surgery.

The Basilica also seems to favour Accardi a bit, as he is allowed to visit often, but can often be turned around and put in a similar maze, as noted when in a flashback he is guided to the room with the Nuns after performing a ritual in the Basilica.

## Trivia

* Accardi was based on Hannibal (*Hannibal TV show*), Koito from *Golden Kamuy*, and Westley from *The Princess Bride*.
* Accardi becomes visibly flustered by the sight of blood (and the colour red) several times throughout the game, and Dubuk has named it aphrodisiac-like to him.
	+ Accardi also has 'mature' novels around his home.
* His favourite food is Long Pork.
* Like Vittorino, according to in-game dialogue, something is wrong with Accardi's hands, but the extent of it is unknown.
* His hair type is 3C, however he can be drawn with any similar styles.
* Accardi is a cannibal according to out-of-game lore, but this may become more relevant in Chapter 2.[1]
