first known to the world as as rizalino rosario, he’s born to a small-time fisherman who operated a small crabbing company on the waters of cebu. his father was a demigod, the son of thanatos, who inherited his father’s ability of death inducement. it was mainly used to peacefully end the lives of the crabs and never towards another human being. his mother was the wife of a large conglomerate in england, who came to cebu to oversee some business investments while also having a girls trip. she was a daughter of an ares who used her ability of odikinesis to ruin rivaling companies business deals. they met by a stroke of luck, with him catering to a business party she was hosting. an affair that happened in the spur of the moment led to one and another during her stay, until she found out she was pregnant. instead, she finds an excuse to stay in the country longer.
it was not what she was quite expecting and definitely not what she wanted, content with her life back in england. so, after waiting the full nine months, she abandons him at the doorstep of her some night stand’s home a few days after giving birth. she leaves without so much as a second glance, back to her happy home. his father, on the other hand, has to work thrice as hard to provide for a newborn. the stress and long hours start to pile up on him, soon having no time for anything aside from work and taking care of rizalino, so after a few months of pushing through, he reaches a break point and leaves his son at an orphanage. he stays there until he’s a year old, and then he’s adopted by a family in milan, italy, and soon moves over across the globe. now, his name’s alessandro castellani.
his family is quite unusual than most and alessio, as he’s known as primarily, picks up on it as soon as he’s old enough to talk. things like being escorted in blacked out limos, having guards and tight security all around, family meetings he wasn’t allowed to be a part of, seeing shadows of some people that would be missing on the news. to the general public, intelligence agencies, and law enforcement, the castellani family was one of the longest reigning and powerful mafia family’s currently in italy. with roots in sicily, they moved upwards to milan after expanding their territories. they operated primarily in italy but had intel everywhere. it finally clicked when he’s seven and witnesses a murder in the family vineyards by accident. his abilities showed up early, by nine, and his family marvels at this godly child, one with powers that could benefit the castellani family. when alessio’s angry, others would feel it too. fights would start with weapons nearing until it abruptly ends as soon as alessio feels calm again. the ultimate one in their eyes was when the boy watched a traitor slowly, eyes concentrating and locked, before the other fell over as if it was nothing. he died peacefully, but he died nonetheless. without so much of a touch. this could be their secret weapon to everything.
to be a weapon means to have a sole purpose: to harm. to ensure alessio is only capable of this, they train him starting on his tenth birthday. they give him things he likes, small pets and little toys, only to kill or destroy them in front of him. anything that brought him a shred of joy or happiness was ripped away from his hands as a way to numb him out. and after a while, it started to work. they continued even after, only stopping when he started to fight back, as a way to promote his anger. any hesitance was quickly snuffed out with a cigar burn to the arm, over and over until he learned. it moves on to bigger operations, bringing him along to meetings, to scope out rivaling families, and looking into the recruitment process of new members. it was all as a way to get him comfortable with his real purpose in their eyes as a weapon. soon, at meetings, he’s informed beforehand to provoke fights from the other families towards their family as a way to justify a massacre against them in the future or causing a sudden death of a bystander in order to get terrorize others and get what they wanted from the main people they were after. all of it drained him exceptionally, as he was using extreme abilities on a consistent and constant basis. nonetheless, he’s trained in several forms of martial arts and hand-to-hand combat, alongside using weapons. he’s finally what they wanted, a stonecold weapon who operated on commands, and soon he’s taking orders on behalf of his father, the capo of the castellani family, and working alongside his brother.
he’s 16 when he becomes a hitman for the family and ends up on the fbi wanted list. it’s a life he never expected to live but it was his nonetheless. most of his ‘work’ was done solo, in large part due to his abilities and when those didn’t work out, extreme measures were taken. by this time, heroes began gathering intel years prior about rumors of a boy with ‘powers’ that were working on behalf of a mafia family. they suspected it was a child with godly powers and began a years long operation in gathering intel to bring the family down.
and it finally happened in the new year of 2021, while the world found out about the reality of the greek myths, the heroes had everything they needed to launch a plan. they did, carefully, and were able to catch his father in action. the capo, a handful of other high titled members, and several soldiers were arrested in the bust. then, in a corner of a large mansion, they found a boy. the boy. his powers were stable but as soon as the found out about the truth as to what was going on, felt too unsure about bringing him to nemean lion. if he had operated as a villain, they worried he was too far gone to be saved, and most decisions about what to do with him resulted in shipping him to this facility and that one. it’s until marina ren steps in, seeing some sort of exceptional light in alessio, a sense of understanding of his situation. she knew his family used him for his abilities as soon as they knew about, knew that none of it was by his command, knew he was just surviving in the only way he knew how. so, marina extends a personal offer to the boy to attend nemean lion, with a slight nudge towards the hero track. she sees something in him that no one else quite did and has high hopes that some day, hopefully on route to graduation, he’ll understand he doesn’t have to be what others expect of him and instead could be whatever he wants to be.
thus, alessandro still goes by alessio. call him alessandro and risk getting a finger cut off a little (i don’t make the rules <3). he’s still pretty new at nemean lion since he enrolled in the early weeks on january 2021. but even if he gets lost, he’ll have the most deadpan and stoic face on his features because admitting loss means defeat or whatever. marina ren knew about the operation from the get go and became involved once the truth was revealed and his identity was confirmed, prompting him to enroll at nemean lion with a personal extension and gently pushing him to the hero track. he’s training in the hero track and alessio is EXTREMELY doubtful with this but since he’s just in the baby steps he’s sucking it up for now. a lot of that comes with a sense of knowing he’s not a good person who has done horrible things so he feels really hypocritical and even slightly guilty in wanting to be a part of the track. feels like he doesn’t deserve a spot in it and keeps that to himself. after the bust, the castellani family went into hiding. they are very much operating behind closed doors and in the darkest of shadows, and are currently looking for alessio, but super on the down low to avoid attention. his whereabouts were strictly off limits to all members after the heroes stepped in, so it’s just a game of ‘where’s waldo’ for them. nemean lion is the beginning to alessio’s journey of healing and a pivotal part as it plays his role of stability and the first sense of it in his entire life. waking up, going to classes, training, campus events ... all these mundane things are taking its time to sink in with alessio that this is his reality now, not waking up to fly to japan to take care of a hit anymore. it’s weird, kind of a welcome change, but one he’s (so far) rather uncomfortable with and a change he’s trying to fight against a bit (mentally and emotionally, at least). alessio is straight up a bootleg of vincenzo cassano and thomas shelby. he can be so stoic, so utterly expressionless and void and on the other hand he could be already walking up towards someone with balled fists for looking at him funny. he’s somewhere a bit between on most days. lately though, he’s getting a bit relaxed at nemean so he’s slightly more approachable and comes off as mr. grumpy instead. a part of him is a little .. scared? nervous? about getting close to other people since he believes he will scare them off if they knew the truth and also because he truly doesn’t think this ~chill life~ thing is gonna last forever. pretty immersed in doodling and spends a lot of time in nature just vibing. smokes and drinks a lot, high tolerance to both. enjoys a good nap, blue lemonade, and a good panini. super, duper, a total hardass on italian cuisine and WILL show his dissatisfaction if it’s not authentic enough. a lot of rumors and gossip about him. there’s just a lot going on that he has yet to disect and understand, but he will soon.
random plot blurbs :
a family friend — i know this is a bit of a reach but anyone whose family were allies with / worked with the castellani family and grew up / saw alessio a lot when they were younger :((
childhood friends — he’s quite well travelled and spent some months here and there with his father and/or brother !!
first love — as mentioned above, he’s quite well travelled and after 16, began taking trips for work alone . maybe a summer fling that was extended ? love at first sight ? it could have even been long distance for a bit. regardless, it ended pretty dramatically and sourly and probably had a lot to do with his work at the time. got a tattoo of their name that was covered up not long after.
an uwu to his >:( — basically someone the total opposite personality wise to alessio ,,,, it somehow works out for u both and alessio would literally chokeslam someone 4 u but will never say it out loud .
sherlock holmes emoji — alessio’s arrival and enrollment to nemean lion is pretty hush hush since it involved many people and dangerous situations, but ur muse is hellbent on getting the root to why and how he exactly was accepted into nemean lion considering ........ he’s him .
sibling like rs — would 10/10 sob for alessio 2 have a decent older sibling figure .. tysm .
blind date — his friend ( npc or not ! ) was just like yo ,,,,,,, ur so angry ? relax. and set him up on a blind date after scheming with ur friend ( npc or not ! ) to hook u guys both up. news travel fast and the date is now ( for some reason ) one of the most anticipated dates on campus ! have fun with nemean lion’s very own bald and angry dude <3
welcoming committee — in love with an idea of alessio having his own personal tour guide of nemean lion ! he still gets lost even when he says he’s not :/
fwbs — that’s all <3 including sexual tension here as well <3
party friends — thank u <3
demigodgrandchildren — UNITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
