Raffaello Precossini

Raffaello Precossini, better known by the stage name of Carnival King, is an upper-class mask crafter and costume designer that became a notable celebrity in the European mainstream in 2003, when he started showing off his skills to the public with his son. Nothing is known about his early life and his pre-celebrity life, but the illustrious Raffaello said something when asked about it and summed it up in an ambiguous sentence: Well, I was hopeless for a lot of time, but then, my dearest Minerva changed everything.Raffaello is a tall man with a surprising Heroic Build. He is bald (but he hides his bald head in his kingly red and golden crown), he got a well-groomed beard that is grayish-white. He got teal-colored eyes.

He wears a white tank top, along with a red (long-sleeved) vest with golden decorations. He wears blue pants with golden decorations. He wears kingly boots that are black, white and golden. His belt is golden. He wears a golden collar, similiar to the ones worn by pharaohs. From it, starts a red cape wit golden decorations. In general, his outfit gives off an extremely kingly vibe.

Thanks to Dementius, his soul got sealed and his body preserved in a glass coffin with golden decorations. The City Priest enchanted it so that his body would never rot. But during Parents' Night, Mahvash Mattiuza relocated his soul into a spider plush that was made by Felicity Sheperd. Right now, he is his son's companion.

The House Mattiuza In General

The Mattiuzas are not pure hearts who converted a fiend by any stretch. Self-indulgent, heretical, and much preferring to bend the world to their whims, the House Mattiuza has been a source of maelstroms and malady and charity and blessings from its very beginning. It took a significant amount of evil to summon a daeva and inventiveness to strive as they had after all.

That said, the House Mattiuza has no world shattering ambition nor are they even are particularly interested in enriching themselves. They're wild cards, out to take from the world what they wished and give back in their own way.

Tropes in Common

• Anti-Magic: Shirin and Vaumisa have ^note (anti)-divine protection after all.
• Biological Immortality: Both Shirin and Vaumisa have ageless, supernaturally healthy bodies, but are still quite capable of bleeding out from a fatal wound—or starving.
• The Dark Arts: Helped uncover and record encyclopedias for much of modern magery and magitek (along with mundane science).
• Evil Hero: They defend their home and beautify it and keep the roads clear for free travel, and if they can reduce casualties by poisoning every nation downstream of them, well...
• The Family That Slays Together: As soon as they 'adopted' Mahvash, she took part in the family business.
• Lovecraftian Superpower: By way of Mahvash
• Morality Chain: The normally self-absorbed bunch are all this to each other. They'd never participate in a scheme that could endanger one of them (more than usual anyway). They're usually vipers to anyone else though... The main exception being people who took care of Mahvash.
• Noble Demon: The House Mattiuza has a going thing with Mahvash and other daeva, not out of malice toward humanity or the world, but because it satisfies them. When not on the clock, they're happy to engage in steady acts of charity and kindness. They consider themselves on a permanent mission, converting for the cause and studying scripts and doctrine with more zeal than Mahvash herself has and for the same reasons as any other missionary.
• Our Phlebotinum Child: Sort of adopted. Sort of invited to cover their house. Its complex.
• The Sacred Darkness: Have this attitude.
• Sense Freak: Love experiences of all kinds, and want others to have them too.
• The Missionary: Their much and sincerely pursued loved profession.
• These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know: Shirin and Vaumisa have been shamelessly transcribing and presenting these bits of knowledge for public consumption for years. After the 'brief' outbreak of madness, decay, and disaster, these things often just become knowledge. This is vindication enough for them.
• Villainous Underdog: The Mattiuza used to wander about in Bronze Age 'Iran' with the vast armies of the king, raiding Akkadians and Scythians, and Sword and Sandal heroes all eager for their heads—and Mahvash's presence did not tip the scale that much in those days.
• Villainous Valour: Get through thick and thin by The Power of Love, and the determination to see each through.
• Unholy Matrimony: Shirin and Vaumisa are in it together. They never even consider betraying each other.

Shirin Bet Mattiuza

The matriarch of the House Mattiuza ^note It was sometimes much bigger than the three of them, Shirin shows herself vivacious and curious, to the point that people wonder if she's ill if they catch her willingly sitting down. Even her falling asleep tends involve her passing out mid-activity after several days awake.

Despite her mania though, Shirin is no De Terminator. She'd rather fold them and move on to something else that's fun. Many, MANY people not named Vaumisa or Mahvash have found themselves left to face the swords and spears when she vanishes on them.

All the same, Shirin usually charms the people she meets, having genuine interest in everyone's lives—even those she's just about to use as bait. In her own home, she's rather a softie, going out of her way to indulge her housemates and keep the house warm and pleasantly chaotic. (Orderly is impossible).

Vaumisa Bet Mattiuza

The patriarch of the House Mattiuza ^note It was sometimes much bigger than the three of them, Vaumisa shows himself equally as manic as Shirin, although he usually remembers social customs. He usually comes up with The Plan of the week ^note (albeit from the back, Shirin is the master of the Indy Ploy on the field) when the house isn't all off causing individual ruckuses.

Even more than Shirin, he will be no where near the action if at all possible, and while clearly caring for Mahvash's well-being, he is remarkably cavalier about sending her into extreme danger.

At home, he's solid and reliable, keeping up the House Mattiuza's connections in society and usually following through on his promises. ^note (If Shirin screwed someone he made a deal with though, he's rarely upset...)

In any case, Vaumisa is rather stuffy and always dressed up, no matter what. (Mahvash will swear she's seen him climb out of bed in a crisp three-piece suit. Shirin would say that he's entered bed the same way). He can be distant with his love of the family (and even moreso for friends), but he is also the most likely to empathize with people he inevitably harms and to try to justify his actions.
