=====The Midnight Samaritan=====

The original mask. He started keeping Gods Peace in the 30's, working out of the Carrivagio Quarter, patrolling in his cross-emblazened leather and wearing a cowl. Back then, he killed with his weaponized crozier. Word spread among the Made Men of the day that the Lord's Vengeance was descending on Baroque. However, in 1939, as Arturos Nocturnes English Socialist armies begun to descend over Europe, the Midnight Samaritan battled with Halloween Jack atop the Cathedral Basilique and fell.

When cautious crimes were recommited and no shining cross appeared with whispered threats, confidence returned. The Five Families, desperate to regain ground lost to the new freaks and weirdos, made alliances with other immigrant groups, forming the Second Council of Trent.

Twelve years ago, just as the Council initiated the 13th member using the syncretic anti-Catholic/voudan rituals, the Midnight Samaritan burst through the skylight and announced his return. Since then, he has arrested every one the Rogues gallery at least once, brought down the entire Mediccani Cammorrae and reduced crime in the Vespers by 30%. He even smuggles advanced medicines and supplies into the worst parts of the Inferno.

Some guys say he doesn't kill anymore. Some guys say he is just a normal human. Some even say he is a Vatican supersoldier returned from the Brazillian Wars with some sort of Da Vinci tech enhancements. Regardless, every criminal dreads their "Confessions" and nearly pass out at the idea of their "Time of Repentance" being at hand.
