How does Perfidious feel about being related to Terzo, Secundo, and Primo? Does he have an opinion on their legacy?

Predominately, I think Alessandro is thrilled that his bloodline isnât extinct: a likely outcome given the infant mortality and premature death rate in the period of history in which he lived. War, plague, poverty, and crime were all probable outcomes for even the most noble of highborns in Late Renaissance Italy, and half of his children suffered the indignity of being born to his mistress, one of the Sisters of Sin in the Ministry of his day: something that places them in a very precious position, both socially and financially, though these two things have always been closely entwined.
I think heâs a little baffled by these three young men, and what âyoung manâ has come to mean in the modern age. What do you mean you canât read Latin? Terzo never paid attention during class, I mean, who can blame him? He never expected to be pontiff. None of you can horse ride? What do you do for sport? Scherma? Calcio? Che palle! Where is your cavalleria? Your sense of sprezzatura? He finds it remarkable that men of such little talent managed to acquire the high office of pontiff. What the Emeritus men know about diplomacy and the Fior di Battaglia could be written on one side of a napkin. Porca madonna...
Their legacy is another matter entirely. As a man of the Renaissance, who witnessed the construction of St. Peter's Basilica (and the painting of the Le Stanze di Raffaello, the Appartamento Borgia and the Capella Sistina), he recognises the power of art, and its ageless quality ("a man is immortalised by his works, pronipoti"); he thinks the Ghost Project is a testament to their genius and a credit to the Ministry. Like the masterworks of Zacara and Canova da Milano, he thinks their music will survive for centuries to come. If he understood the first thing about modern instrumentation, or even modern notation, he might try his hand at it. Alas, he's got several hundred menial things to learn about modern living before he gets around to leisure activities.
