Gabriele Opizzi

 Gabriele was always a strange child, intrigued by death but never afraid. He would often ask odd questions about death and bodies and the like and, unlike his mother who was disgusted, his father saw this as an opportunity to council his young mind and to support the intelligence that would take him far in life. 

When he was 17, he finally managed to find work in his chosen field. Stepan was a charismatic and similarly death-enthused individual who ran the mortuary for a local Cathedral. Upon reaching 18, he was fed Stepan's blood and, while Gabriele didn't care much for the pseudo-romantic nature of their new "relationship", he was afforded further trust and ability to do his work. The fact that he didn't age wasn't much of an issue, nor was the fact that Stepan "removed" his parents from his life. The young ghoul didn't ask questions or really care much. Five years after his ghoulification, a woman named Faith showed up, and was quick to take Stepan as her own. Through his time, his soon-to-be sire continued his relationship with the young human and Faith was angry for this. She wished to be his one and only and, after another half-decade, Stepan gave in and sired Gabriele, no longer requiring him to feed from the boy and damning him to madness. 

At first, Stepan was almost disappointed in the fact that Gabriele didn't share his own demented nature, but two years into his affliction, the young man was caught bringing young women home to run tests on their unconscious bodies, testing *just* how much damage they could take before they fell beneath the knife, only to toss them to the side carelessly when they did not perform how he wished. It was then that Stepan realized what it was that he'd created, and he was delighted. 

When Stepan died, Gabriele followed Faith to the new world rather than stay where he was, as he'd sworn to his sire that he would forever give his loyalty to the little blonde with far too much crazy in her head for her own good. Upon reaching Baltimore and taking up the position of Primogen, Faith immediately declared him her second and was met with little resistance and... Well... Resistance was met with violence. 

The death of his Primogen has forced Gabriele to step in and take her place, something that he is not very interested in, but that is necessary, at least for the moment.
