Though he doesn’t know why, Benito remembers almost nothing from before his parents death. Not their temperament, nor the space they inhabited upon the world. From the bits that he did know however, all information which came from the person who raised him, his family had been good and generous people. They had loved him beyond measure, enough to have foreseen their own demise and figured out a plan for their child to still live. After witnessing their death, Benito escaped through the secret passage in their home. A passage that became his home for two days before aid came knocking.  A friend of the family, who remained loyal even after their so called treasonous acts - a gentleman whose last name Benito now wore, came for him.  He was raised with the knowledge of who killed his parents, and a plan to enact revenge and bring them all to their end. Benny learned everything he could about the Santoro family. Who was who, what they owned, and where they frequented. It took him a good couple of years to set his foot in with the mob, but under the new alias and without a single string tying him to his family, he climbed the ranks.  Figuring out a life and dreams was never something he cared for. His entire life had been set in place with vengeance being his only motivator to keep going. School never caught his interest, though along the way Benny found a love for music that was unlike anything else in his life. He began to play guitar, later on adding the piano and drums, and it never stopped either. In his present age, he’s learned to play a dozen different instruments, and though he’s kept his talent mainly underraps, he’s been offered plenty of opportunities to shine.  But standing out for his talent wasn’t an interest to him. His head remained focused on defeating a family that he publicly vowed to protect. Little by little, he found ways to not derail from his mission, but until the day he shattered them all he would keep them close at his side. Make pretend that he was one of them and hide in the shadows they overlooked.
