Groups: L’ombra Profonda (The Tartuffo Family)
Locations: Portovino
A clouded dawn, a silent home Clothes, books, papers strewn across the floor A wet breeze slips through the curtains
An open door, a messy room Cupboards flung open, drawers hanging empty. Dust begins to find its home
A newborn girl, in her grandfather’s arms Swaddled in silks with the family crest She will learn to hate her father
Full name Isabella “Bella” Tartuffo, Gino’s daughter, raised by Vico after he left. Isabella has been groomed by the family as an assassin, taught that her father is a traitor responsible for her mother’s death. Nicknamed “La Rosa Nera” (“The Black Rose”), she is a deadly force within L’ombra Profonda (The Tartuffo Family), embodying the family’s values in a way that both terrifies and saddens Gino, who yearns to explain his side of the story to her.
