Backstory

Francesco Grimaldi, loyal servant of the Grimaldi family of revenants to the Tzimisce clan. The product of a union between his father and his father’s second cousin. To improve relations between the Grimaldi and Obertus families, Francesco was arranged to marry Alessa Rakoczy, bringing the largely Italian and Romanian families together. Francesco was clever but self-serving, able to easily put on a mask and tell others what they wanted to hear. The mask easily slipped when emotional and it was difficult to know what side you were going to get. Alessa on the other hand was quiet, brilliant, but prone to emotional fits. The combination made their love and personal lives passionate but explosive. His twins, Colin and Corrine Grimbaldi were born under a waning crescent moon, right before the new moon. Thought to be a particularly fortuitous sign, the Grimbaldi family offered the newborns to the Tzimisice clan where they were raised and educated until their care was extended to Gunter Faust and the Order of Caine by the request of Heinrich Leichenberg. Alessa continued to visit her children until they turned 5 years old and were sent to the United States. Heartbroken at the loss of her children, Alessa leaves Francesco and the Grimaldi family. 

Supposedly having not spoken to his wife or children in the past 60 serves, Francesco continues to serve the Tzimisice clan as a financial advisor and accountant to some of the wealthiest Kindred in modern nights. Valued for his discretion and utmost privacy of his clients, it’s rumored that he serves multiple clans and Kine alike. Having been recently moved from his recent stay in Germany, Francesco has come to live in Detroit on orders from Detroit’s Prince, Johnthan Graham to service the Camarilla council there.
