Ezekiel Scipio

Zeke Scipio is a Citizen of Snrubville and an undertaker and member of the town council who is very reclusive and sullen.

## Appearance:

Zeke is of average height for a man of his age, but is unusually strong from years of digging graves. He wears a white golf shirt, brown waistcoat, red bow tie, grey dress pants, and black Italian leather loafers. He also wears a gold watch on his right wrist, and a gold band on his left hand that once belonged to his father, Donegan Scipio. He has short, dark brown hair, light brown eyes with dark circles underneath them, and pale skin.

## Personality:

Zeke is sullen, reclusive, and frankly indifferent to much of what happens to him. He likes roses and rain, and has a heavy loathing for optimists, talkative people, most doctors, and warm weather. He doesn't have many friends or enemies, as he dislikes socializing in general. He tends to consider what would be best for him before making decisions, and is somewhat selfish in that way. However, when speaking with his boyfriend Derek Lombard, good friends Nerium Nightshade and Club, or brother Efisio, he becomes more open and friendly, occasionally even complimenting them.

Zeke attended Snrubville Elementary School as a child, so his factual knowledge is limited like most residents. However, he excels at literary arts, especially poetry. He sometimes speaks poetically, although most of the time his speech is in disengaging one-word sentences.

When talking about or to his brother Fiore Scipio, his brother, Zeke becomes sarcastic and cold, and will sometimes even snap or shout. He's disappointed at how his younger brother turned out, and secretly feels that it is his own fault for not spending enough time with him as children.

## History:

Zeke was born in Snrubville and is usually found there, although he does take occasional trips to France for no apparent reason at all. When he was seven, his parents brought him and his brothers to live in Italy for a year before deciding they missed Snrubville and moved back. After his parents’ deaths he took over the family business of undertaking, and on the side he takes care of his youngest brother Efisio.

## Relationships:

#### Nerium Nightshade:

Zeke and Nerium became friends over a mutual love of flowers and gardening. Nerium is one of the few people Zeke actually trusts, and is more open with her than with other people. They meet at Nerium's flower shop every once in while to discuss gardening tips, fertilizer, and flower types.

#### Club:

Zeke and Club met the first time Club came up to Scipio's Funeral Services dragging a body bag behind him, his rifle still smoking. They occasionally have short chats as Zeke buries Club's victims. Zeke is rather fond of Club as the kind-of-vigilante provides a lot of his business.

#### Donegan Scipio:

While his father was alive, Zeke got along fine with him. He often helped him dig graves and write epitaphs and eulogies.

#### Cecelia Salvatore-Scipio:

While his mother was alive, Zeke was close with her. He often spoke with her in the kitchen after his brothers were asleep, and learned most of what he knows about poetry from her.

#### Efisio Scipio:

Zeke is very fond of his youngest brother, although he disapproves of his 'live-in-the-moment' lifestyle. However, he still makes sure to spend all his Sunday afternoons with him.

#### Fiore Scipio:

Zeke has a very strong hate for Fiore after witnessing him murder their parents. He's disappointed at how his younger brother got mixed up in the mafia, and secretly feels that it is his own fault for not spending enough time with him as children. Nevertheless, he still feels like the only way to feel at peace with his parents' death is to make Fiore pay for it.

#### BeNoir LeBlanc:

Zeke's dislike of BeNoir LeBlanc isn't as deep as his hate for his younger brother - he just doesn't appreciate having profanities shouted at him.

#### Derek Lombard:

Derek and Zeke met during one of Zeke's trips to France. Derek lived in Annecy, France, until then, but moved to Snrubville to be closer to Zeke. Derek is one of the only people who knows exactly what Zeke's like behind all the sullenness and dreariness.
