Depending on who you ask **Vittorio "Vito" Catrini** is either a jerk with a heart of gold, a jerkass, an ax-crazy complete monster, a blood knight, or all of the above. But Konstantin and his buddies know him as a patient man who always thinks things through and everything he did was always well considered.

He was inspired by Vito Scaletta from the Mafia game franchise.

## Biography

### Early life

Vittorio had a rough life; he was born on February 12, 1960, the product of a rape inflicted against the woman who became his mother, a young Italian girl named Lydia Catrini, who'd been kidnapped by human traffickers. Lydia was rescued by a Soviet Army officer named Roman Pankov, and later that year she found out she was pregnant with a baby boy, whom she named Vittorio. During this time, Lydia and Roman fell in love with each other. In 1961, a year after Lydia gave birth to Vittorio, Roman married her.

Vittorio grew up in his mother's native Italy but they moved to Empire City when he was five. His father Roman was fiercely protective of him, not wanting what happened to his mother to happen to him. Vittorio welcomed it, though. In elementary school he was bullied for being a "half-breed". However, his father trained him in various forms of martial arts to defend himself.

### Descent into darkness

In 1984, during a vacation to Los Angeles, California, Vittorio rescued a young woman from a serial killer calling himself the Nightcrawler. Vittorio later found out that the girl he rescued was the sister of a contract killer, who happened to be a member of an international coalition of killers known as the Knights of Hell. Struggling to make a living himself at the time, Vittorio decided to formally join the organization.

### Hunted

Vittorio's time in the Knights of Hell would not last; in 1993, he make the life-changing mistake of accidentally killing someone on the grounds of the Oceanic Hotel, a blatant desecration of what was supposed to be a neutral space. As a result, his membership in the Knights of Hell was revoked and the entire organization put a hit on him. Surprisingly, Vittorio was able to fake his death and lay low long enough to deceive everybody into thinking he'd already died. In 2019, the man resurfaced, having formed his own band of killers loyal to him, known as the Ghost Clan.

### Final years and death

Sometime in 2023, Vittorio was killed during a gun battle between the Knights of Hell and his family after they finally found him following an extensive manhunt. In a journal kept by his daughters Olivia, Jacqueline and Mara, it is revealed that two months before he passed away, Vittorio had converted to Messianic Judaism, something that he kept hidden from everyone except his family. According to Vittorio's sons Rupert and Damien, Vittorio went into the afterlife "a happy man."
