Cynis Ruccio

Cynis Ruccio is a 42 year old Terrestrial of Danaa'd who has a rather humble, and humiliating profession for an Exalt. Ruccio is a talented cook, so he decided to pursue a personal quest to find the secret to mastering the perfect flavor. House Cynis saw a lot of potential in Ruccio, which ultimately led to their decision to fund his rather ridiculous quest because they know that Ruccio would always serve House Cynis loyally, because Cynis parties are the perfect avenue with which any chef could showcase their talents and that Ruccio has too little ambition to start his own Great House or "move up".

Ruccio, beyond being a masterful chef is also an astute businessman. The main method with which he could procure ingredients and local recipes is through trade. Obviously, Ruccio is a hell of an outdoorsman as he needs to hunt, forage, or fish for supplies and he also owns his own boat, which he personally sails. As far as how he fights off pirate attacks (an occasional nuisance), he trains in the Natural Persona Style of combat, which stresses honing one's body to be the best weapon possible.

If Ruccio had any shortcomings, it would be that his social skills are poor. The reason for that is that many Terrestrials look down upon Ruccio with condescension, mainly due to his rather "mortal" occupation. With that said, Ruccio is secretly resentful of the snubbing he receives at parties even though people appreciate and eat his food all the time. Even mortal servants have more chance to interact with those on the upper echelon, since Ruccio is stuck in the kitchen.
