Mosca Del Verme is a Milanese fashion designer and botanist from an aristocratic family, serving as the creative director for a major Italian fashion house founded by his great grandfather during Italy's post-war economic boom, and achieving some minor fame for successfully cultivating a rare species of corpse flower that has become extinct in the wild. Born weak and sickly, he was treated by his family as an object of scorn for his frail constitution and sensitive personality. Ever eager for his father's approval, he grew up to be a very cruel and callous person, though he could never perform that strain of traditional masculinity that his father tried to drill into him by taking him out on game hunts. Though he might be the Del Verme heir, he has never earned the genuine respect of his high society brethren, and in following his father's footsteps, he's managed to push away anyone who might have felt sympathy for him in the past.
