## Biography

Vincenzo is the second son born from the union of two prominent Braavosi merchant families, Otherys and Zalyne. While his older brother Bessaro was being groomed to take over the family investments and holdings, Vincenzo and his twin sister Valentina were mainly left to their own devices. This meant they usually could be found playacting with the mummers of The Blue Lantern. Fascinated by the fantastic tales and costumes, Vincenzo found he could quickly learn to play any part he set his mind to **(covert)**.

Determined to steer Vincenzo and Valentina away from the life of mummery, on their thirteenth name day, their parents forced him to learn the art of **water dancing**, and groomed her to replace their aunt as the famed courtesan, the Black Pearl. Vincenzo trained under the renowned swordsman Letho Volentin. A bravo nearly unmatched in skill and reflexes, but with a mind so dull, he could never hold a position of power. Aspiring to be a swordsman even greater than Letho, Vincenzo diligently studied the weaknesses of his opponents before challenging them to a duel, finding it typically rewarded him with easy victories. After every midnight triumph at the Moon Pool, he would celebrate with his childhood friends at The Blue Lantern, sending street urchins to fetch casks of ale for the festivities. Watching the scruffy youths scurry about inspired him to hire them as **agents** gathering information on bravos throughout the city. He quickly amassed a dossier of every bravo of note, identifying their tendencies and injuries. It wasn’t the most honorable way to win duels, but all Vincenzo cared about was its effectiveness.

By his nineteenth name day, Vincenzo’s accomplishments as a bravo are well-known throughout the city, and after dispatching his predecessor in a well-attended duel, is named the Third Sword of Braavos by the new old Sealord. With the title came the responsibility of keeping the peace in the city, so in addition to creating a select squad of bravo lieutenants (known throughout the city as the Titan’s Blades), he spends the next five years carefully building a network of **spies** to help him monitor the streets and canals of Braavos. After the passing of the old Sealord, he retained his position under the new Sealord, Zia Mellario.
