The First Boss and founder of Gioiello Famiglia - the greatest mafia family in Italy, Federico was also known as Round One Regina's cherished younger brother. Despite his youth, he turned the Gioiello into a powerful organization from the vigilante group he created before ambiguously killed.

## **Physical Description**

Federico is mostly seen in his twenties appearance, when he was still the boss of Gioiello. Befitting his high upbringing, his skin is fair and he has thin-seeming figure. He has blond hair that reaches his shoulders and is tied into a short ponytail, alongside the hair-between-eyes bangs. Normally, his eyes are sapphire blue, but in his Metamorphosism Mode they glow in the light blue color of larimar.

## **Personality**

Federico is a natural-born leader with incredible charisma, savvy and competence, who could easily recruit a significant amount of followers not only through his noble ideal and successfully enforced peace on his hometown most of the time just by diplomacy. Usually calm and collected, though he appears friendly, he rarely wears any expression other than a gentle smile or solemnity, making his thoughts and actions almost impossible to read. He exudes an air of elegance, tranquility, mysteriousness, and sometimes sorrow.

His benevolence and humanity is very well-known in the mafia world, to the point nowadays the "social organization" side of Italian mafia is named the "Federico Faction". Renato noted that he was the kind of person who accepted anyone into the Famiglia, regardless of background. He values his bonds with people greatly and prioritizes letting those bonds be remembered over his own achievements. While he is actually recorded in history as one of the most brilliant men ever alive, he never grows prideful over it and believes there are always things he needs to learn. On the same vein, despite the rapid and unexpected rise in power of Gioiello, Federico doesn't let what he has in hands get into his head, staying true to his conviction in peace, equity and justice to the very end even when it costed his life.

As a child, he was more carefree and cheerful due to being sheltered by his sister, though he started showing signs of subduing mentally from the moment his father died before the massacre broke him forever. Because of being thrust into society too soon without getting used to it properly, at 15 years old he behaved significantly maturer than his age, but when faced with people he knows will be willing to dote on him like a kid, he shows them his more vulnerable, childish side. His talent at the time was not actually noticed by others as much as Regina's, since he preferred spending his time playing to studying.

Being so righteous and magnificent as he is, deep down inside, around the time of his "death", he was throughly exhausted from managing an organization that had gone horribly wrong from its intended path, facing a traitor who was once his dearest friend trying to destroy him and bearing the guilt of losing his followers in continuously unavoidable fights between Families, with all the dream and goals of his youth harshly crushed. Federico had to cope with guilt complex over his lifetime as well as being implied to suffer from severe depression, to the point he was too worn out to protest the traitor's plan despite knowing about it and its consequences. In the end, everything was so unbearable, he chose to abandon his identity as the powerful Gioiello Primo and faked his death to run away to Japan in a desperate attempt to redo his life.

## **History**

He started off as the younger child of a fallen noble family. While his sister did her best to let him have a peaceful childhood, it didn't last for long before the tragedy began from the moment he saw the cursed rings. First, his father was assassinated, leaving the family's fortune on the line so Regina had to take it over and thus left with no time for him. Not so long after, his mother went nuts as the consequence of a life-threatening fever, made her suffer from hallucinations and hit anyone approaching her. He was nearly attacked until Regina rescued him, suffering a brain injury in process. The main tragedy later finally began: The mansion was on fire, everyone was brutally killed except for him and Gerardo, and he passed out due to asphyxiation while still in the fire. When he woke up, the last thing he heard that his beloved sister went missing in the burning mansion and no corpse of her was found.

Earlier historical records of the Gioiello provide that the Gioiello Primo was burned to death in his summer mansion, but it still remained unclear if that was Giamoco ordering the assassination of his cousin in the most brutal way possible or Federico committing a painful suicide following his fall from grace. Later records do know Federico had run to Japan by that point and someone else died in his place, but the fact that "someone" was his sister Regina committing Self-Immolation to fake his death convincingly is only known recently for the Decimo generation.

After dealing with exhaustion and guilt complex, he gave up on his identity as the powerful Gioiello Primo and faked his death to run away to Japan through the collective help of his sister Regina and loyal followers. There, he took on the new name Hironori Aozora and lived the life of a ghostwriter.

Post-death, his soul is encased in the Larimar Gioiello Ring.
