MARCELLO

APPEARANCE

Marcello is pretty short at five foot four, though he often uses it to his advantage. He's toned and lithe, calloused from his hours leaping from buildings and climbing up walls. His hair is messy from his fingers constantly tangling and brushing through it, as he's very animated when he talks. As a thief he's actually quite successful, managing a small fortune stumbling upon chests in the area and pickpocketing nobles that he strongly dislikes. His boyish looks allow him to get away with most things, playing the part of sad orphan. He wears long sleeve shirts with trousers and worn boots, with a charcoal gray cape that are all worn and threadbare.

HISTORY

Marcello has a very sad and typical childhood, mother having died in childbirth and growing up in a poor orphanage in Firenze. He was scrawnier than the other kids and disliked the depravity and noise of the place, admiring more the thieves that ran across the rooftops. At the age of ten he managed to crawl his way out the orphanage and joined the thieves guild in Venezia, not wanting his face to be known in Firenze. His sticky fingers often got the best of him and he got his share of bruises and bars in the first couple years. He quickly climbed the ranks and became one of the more stealthy and trusted thieves, admiring and helping out the assassins when he could, even gathering extra information. He was trusted due to his baby-face and charming smiles, and managed to slip his hands into many wealthy female pockets.

He made great friends with the courtesans, finding their work noble and helpful. He was favored amongst them since he always behaved himself and was deemed adorable with his respectful attitude and doe-eyes. He was nicknamed "Bambino" and "Mouse" due to his ability to slip through anything and vanish quickly.
