Mortal Days

Born with what is now known as retinopathy of prematurity, Luca has been blind since birth, most likely due to gonorrhea or syphilis. Told his mother was a prostitute, he was given up shortly after birth to the children’s orphanage, Our Lady of Hope, in Milan, Italy. The orphanage was housed in a well-known local church, not far from the famous La Scala de Milan opera house. The local church was well known for its children’s choir made up of orphans from the orphanage. A Nosferatu, by the name of the Count, who formerly was a famous soprano at the opera house, but after a tragic accident, his Embrace, was reduced to nothing more than a mask hiding his now disfigured face and creating costumes for productions. Originally, a fairly pious man, before his Embrace, the Count frequently attended evening mass where upon during the special Christmas Eve mass that he first glimpsed Luca. Luca, who was only 8 years old at the time, was already being heralded for his beautiful singing voice and angelic looks. Entranced by the young boy and determined to make the boy his Childe upon coming of age, adopted Luca. The Count would go on to groom Luca in all things theater and Kindred.

Nature of Embrace

As Luca grew older, his looks and his talents, especially with the discovery of his love of piano, attracted the attention of a Toreador who was disgusted by the young man’s Nosferatu guardian. The Toreador befriended Luca, promising him fame and the ability to travel the world. Luca who had grown more concerned about the Count’s growing erratic behavior and infatuation towards the young man, agreed to leave. Behavior that reminded him of past sexual trauma at the hands of the priest overseeing the orphanage. A few years later, Luca would go on to be Embraced by the Toreador, with his Sire eventually being killed in the Blitz during WWII. With nothing left in Europe, Luca immigrated to the United States seeking fame and fortune in the post-war U. S.'s burgeoning film and music industries.
