ACCARDI:BLOOD KNIGHT

Born the second son of the infamous Italian-based Accardi family during the 16th century, and second to family heir Vincenzo Accardi, the younger Athan Atreus Gregorio Raphel Accardi, had been living his life indulging in pleasures and skirmishes alike as he navigated the stuffy upbringing as a noble son and a soon to be a prominent political figure in the bustling province of Verdici, Sicily, Italy, his carefree life had come to an end when marriage to an equally prominent family in the form of their daughter, a beautiful woman of color, Audra DeSavoy, had been arranged henceforth putting an end to Athan's open philandering. From the moment they met, Athan had become smitten with his future wife and all his fears about losing his freedoms had gone out the window as far as he'd been concerned as he fell deeper and deeper in love with his new wife. 

Once the destruction of his elder brother's reign following his exposure as a tyrant, the citizens of the long-held Accardi warded the isle of Cantilena had turned on their Count and his lovely wife Audra making vile claims of her being a witch as bold glory-seekers opted for a chance to run the isle with Accardi disposed of, Athan, had been beloved their claims had been used to incapacitate him and take over rulership without going into a full-on war. The ensuing chaos had ended with the deaths of Athan's beloved and The Count being given to the madness of grief where he would have died a slow agonized death had it not been for Vinchenzo coming to his aid, that aid had been the blood of a Les Ferale and as such it had only served to increase his torment for eternity by making him a child of the night.
