Gianluigi Cavallaro

Gianluigi Cavallaro (b. July 2, 1975) is a close-combat mage with control over gravity (notably, the only gravity mage of whom records exist), a member of the Hitman Squad, and the former Lord High Chancellor of the planet Uriah from 2009 to 2020, prior to which he served as the head of the Security Bureau of the Urian Confederation from 2001 to 2007. Cavallaro is widely considered to have been a dictator, and was not averse to using fear and violence as a method of control; estimates of the death toll from his regime hover around three million people, mostly political dissidents.

## Early life (1975-1986)

Gianluigi Martucci Cavallaro was born on July 2, 1975 to Giuseppe Cavallaro, President of the Urian Confederation, and his wife Floria Martucci. As a boy, young Gianluigi lived in luxury, as he was the only child of the President. He was a very happy child, finding great joy in simple things, such as walks in meadows, reading books, and playing with his friends. Gianluigi also showed an ability to use magic, and his doctors estimated his potential to be in the C class (capable of using mid-power elemental spells).

## Doomsday (May 16, 1986)

On May 16, 1986, which is now known as "Doomsday," the formerly happy-go-lucky, carefree boy, who used his magic to light the wicks of candles and blow the seeds off of dandelions, witnessed unimaginable horror in the presidential palace. His father was held at gunpoint while terrorists raided the complex, found the nuclear artillery launch codes, and released the entirety of the Confederation's nuclear arsenal at the other nuclear superpowers on the planet. Within about two hours, most of Uriah was destroyed, and among those who perished were his father and mother, killed while trying to rush him into a nuclear bunker. Upon learning of his parents' demise, Gianluigi's psyche snapped, he ran out of the bunker and onto the lawn in front of the presidential palace, and an instant personality switch took place.

From the ashes of Uriah and Gianluigi's rage was born his new heart of ice, and with it came the realization of his true magical power: complete and utter control over gravity. Without even thinking, he pointed at the leader of the invaders and screamed, "*I HATE YOU!!!*" Before any of the terrorists could react, their leader's torso was ripped out of space and time by a gravitational singularity, leaving only a bloody, disembodied head and neck, arms, and legs to fall to the ground with a thud. The rest of them attempted to shoot the boy, but it was futile, as their bullets simply swerved down into the ground upon contact with the hypergravity zone surrounding him. The other terrorists attempted to flee through portals, but only 10 out of 52 (those who were out of Gianluigi's range of sight) managed to successfully do so. The rest were bisected when their portals succumbed to the immense gravity pushing them shut, leaving half of each of their lifeless bodies on the lawn and half in their hideout.

## Post-Chancellorship and Hitman Squad (2020-present)

On April 3, 2020, Cavallaro was sitting at his desk within the Urian Chancellery when a portal opened up directly beneath his chair, and he fell through. He landed in the Arctican countryside, in the far north of Tuscolo. It is as of yet unknown why the portal opened directly under him.

In Arctica, Cavallaro met Oleksandr Tramp when he accidentally destroyed the latter's igloo with a Gravity Slash. The two greatly disliked other people, so they became close friends relatively quickly. These two were the first members of what is now known as the Hitman Squad.
