==='''Giovanni.'''  Son of Oberon===

[[File:Giovanni1.jpg]]

This is not the God of War, nor is he Dionysus. 

He is a force of nature on the battlefield and is nearly oblivious of his actions afterward. 

He is a tavern-brawler and street fighter swaggering through the crowds of shadow's lowest docks and camps.
 
He is a contender in the wrestling match for Amber's strongest man. 

Giovanni is frequently called la Conde, the Count, amongst the sergeants of the veils. He is the master sergeant smacking his path amongst the tough guys and thugs of the lowest levels of the Armies of shadow. 

He speaks the Italian of Michelangelo which he learned at the painter's knee. Di Vinci was his drinking buddy. 

He can train an army's grunt soldiers in combat skills like few in shadow.  He found his way from campaign, to war-band to burning cities and never quite remembers to sign up anywhere. Every army that he sets his tent in seems to assume he is supposed to be there. He has another marker to remember. People seem to forget him, if not his legend. They may remember the Count was around, but he never gets stuck with the blame. He is a good gambler and a good loser. He always has his pockets full and always pays for drinks.  

His temper is hard to rile, worse then his berserk combat style, but once it is he never forgets.  He has walked the Pattern.
