The Moccenigo Family is an ancient family with a long history of providing Varlyrio with grand and magnificent architecture, generally around the capital of Illaryian or in their home of Porto Caglaveri. About half of the structures in Porto Cagliaveri have been designed by the Moccenigos. However, the dastardly Ziccardi family, long-time rivals to the Moccenigos after a nasty divorce between Bastian Ziccardi and Anzola Moccenigo, maintain that they have built more than half of the structures. Prior to the death of the respectable Brabantio, the Moccenigos were less politically powerful. However, since their failed attempt to frame the beloved Rego, Luca di Carli, their name became one of villainy and all of their contracts were hence cancelled leading to the family’s eventual bankruptcy. This caused tension between Brabantio's sons Ristoro Domingo and Ilazio. Ilazio joined forces with an unlikely triumvirate with Kolgari Prince Råiden Tígrisdýrið and Arama di Athena de Cioto to reveal the truth and depose Luca di Carli, who Ilazio believed was his father's murderer. Arama had other plans Luca lived. The Moccenigo family sunk into infamy despite a pardon from Raiamonde de Cioto once the public learned of the Moccenigo's treachery. Ilazio hadn't given up on his revenge and recruited some old family members and accomplices to his cause. Due to a secret alliance formed with some of the most powerful famiglie in Varlyrio, and with the help of Arama de Cioto, who Ilazio couldn't bear to kill, the once Rego was deposed and the Moccenigo family rose in power with Ilazio as Rego (for now). In the mean time, Marsilia di Veniera took over running the Moccenigo estate. Brabantio Moccenigo Status: Dead Location: Grave with scenic view of the Bay of Illar Brabantio was the opportunistic head of the family until he caught a common case of the assassinations for attempting “treasonous deeds” in league with the now deceased Kolgari Prins Råiden Tígrisdýrið. Before his untimely demise, he was a quite famous architect who often received contracts from the wealthy and prestigious families of eastern Varlyrio including the past two Regos themselves, Supano Amancio and Luca di Carli respectively. Isotta Moccenigo Status: Ill but not dead yet! Location: Veniera Isotta managed to be cursed while out surveying with her husband Brabantio and is now perpetually ill with various ailments. But when not sick, she is known for hosting lavish, corretto banquets and balls, much of which attracts the attention of the wealthy, leading to more contracts for Brabantio. As such for being sick, she spends most of her time in bed reading and gaining knowledge that at least one of her sons will cherish, the other not so. Ironically, she comes from a long line of healers, but has yet to find a cure to her curse. She was sent away to stay with Marsilia's family in Veniera. Ristoro Moccenigo Status: Alive Location: Porto Cagliaveri Ristoro is the eldest of Brabantio’s two sons and is, well, inclined to immoral behavior which has gotten him detained for debauchery several times and most certainly hasn’t wrecked La Villa Moccenigo with any ostentatious parties. Unlike his younger brother, Ristoro never entered the family trade despite his father’s displeasure, but he did manage to marry which greatly pleased his family who prematurally hoped it’d change his habits (they were sorely disappointed), although his wife, Marsilia, soon realized that her kindness towards him had been an extremely terrible idea. For a while, he lay rotting away in some dank prison for angering the Moccenigos’ business rivals the Ziccardi for taking some, well, licentious libertà, until Ilazio reluctantly needed his help. Ilazio Moccenigo Status: Current Rego of Varlyrio Location: Illaryian Ilazio followed in his father’s footsteps and studied under his tutelage to become an architect and contributed much to his family’s legacy, all to be thrown down the drain by an ill-fated move on Brabantio’s part and the double-crossing Arama de Cioto. When he wasn’t working with his father, he spent his time reading, fencing with Salvadore, admiring and practicing painting, or mentoring his new niece Aurelia. Normally calm and composed (or what everyone else refers to as “brooding”), the insulting or harming of any of his famiglia for unjust reasons makes him act irrationally and with much vendetta. Marsilia di Veniera Status: Alive Location: Porto Cagliaveri Marsilia is a kind woman from a well-to-do family in the mountainous, eastern Varlyrian town of Veniera who found Ristoro beat up after he had some fun and came to like him after patching him up whilst taking care of him for several days. Originally, she worked in her family’s winery but now must compensate with odd jobs to support herself and her young daughter since marrying Ristoro and moving to Porto Caglaveri. Currently, she has zero intent of bailing Ristoro out of prison and is only residing with the Moccenigos still because she’d rather not go back home in disgrace. Due to Ilazio not having complete trust in Ristoro, the deed to the Moccenigo estate was given to her after Ilazio stripped the Ziccardi family, who had a temporary ownership of the place due to the Moccenigo's lack of money, of their power. Mirco il Servitore Status: Alive Location: Porto Cagliaveri Mirco is but a humble servant of the Moccenigo family who deeply cares about everyone even if they don’t reciprocate, thinking that he is incompetent and socially awkward. He always addresses them as mio Signore or mia Signora. Salvadore Armando Moccenigo Status: Alive? Location: Barqa, Kaliphlin Salvadore’s parents wandered off to the wastelands (presumably looking for gold) and accidentally left him at La Villa Moccenigo after one of Ristoro’s secret gallas. Brabantio and Isotta decided to keep watch over the child until his parents returned, which never occurred and he became a sort of cugino to Ilazio and Ristoro. Although he never picked up on architecture and was quite adventurous, he at least wasn’t a useless cretino and spent most of his time practicing fencing or contracting as a sellsword. The latest of his contracts has taken him to far off Barqa in Kaliphlin. Aurelia Moccenigo di Veniera Status: Alive Location: Porto Cagliaveri Aurelia is, in all technicality, a bastard, although neither she nor Marsilia’s family know of it (Marsilia had to pretend that Aurelia was her maid around her family to keep out of their wrath), and no one, besides the Ziccardi, would call her that as an insult; for a Varlyrian, she’s extremely nonviolent and kind. Although she currently works as a messenger, ironically many of the denizens of Porto Caglaveri have assumed that she is a mute since she practically never speaks to anyone. In Story
