Character Description:
Federico (but he prefers to be called Friedrich) is the son of a self-made industrialist, based in Trento. Originally a minor element in right-wing youth circles, his involvement with the separatist cause came in the late 80s, when the movement first surfaced.
Tall, handsome in a slightly sinister "aryan" way, Federico is currently one of the most vocal and strict supporters of all-out civil war againt the Italian "colonizers".
In the last two or three years he has been growing restless, spending long hour in the shooting range or debating the finer points of the New Order whith his pals.
His roughly appealing character, his total dedication and his proselitizing powers have so far marked him as one of the most useful tools Ptropaganda can use to desstabilize the rich North-Eastern provinces (useful to stir the national political course).
His more than average power and a streak of barely repressed sadism have also caused the Karotechia Grey Eminence to take an interest in him as a prospect Bischofe for the new millenium.

Roleplaying Notes:
Federico Gasser is a a rich young man, has an eye for the ladies and a sadistic streak.
He is also a true believer of the most childish separatist propaganda - he truly thinks that Austria is the true home of his "race", that his country was invaded by the Romans and enslaved through the centuries by their descendants, that Christianity is a travesty of the original "Padanian Boar God" natural religion and tons of other such crap.
Should he discover that he has been a tool of Propaganda all these years he would probably simply refuse the notion, turning violent and quite possibly homicidal against the perpetrator of such a revelation.


Marcello Micai

 Age 38, Propaganda wonderboy and Cesare Borgia wannabe
SIZ 12   CON 10    STR 11   DEX  9  SAN  0
APP 16   INT 12    EDU 14   POW 14  HP  11
Basic Skills: Art-Painting 5%, Computer Use 15%, Credit Rating 55%, Drive Auto 35%, Fast talk 50%, History 45%, Occult (Masonic-related) 40%, Persuade 35%, Throw 40%
Languages: Italian 80%, French 35%, English 25%
Spells: none at the moment
Weapons: 7.65 Walther PPK gun, old Bond style, with basic 20% skill.

Character Description:
Marcello started as a bootlicking jack-of-all-trades at the court of a minor political player in the Socialist party - a man compromised in the P2 debacle. Years of dedication, a low profile during the '92 reshuffling of the Italian political deck and a few well placed backstabs have gained him a position as the only connection between the Propaganda council of old crows and the footsoldiers and backers of the structure.
He is the eyes, ears and mouth of the Propaganda masters - they see and hear what he wants, they say what he wants, they feed through him.
Officially a real estate independent broker, Micai has recently decided to get a definitive sistemation, and has set his sights on Elvira Bricco-Sforza, a minor nobility young woman, daughter to a Propaganda backer and a Propaganda pawn herself.

Roleplaying notes:
Marcello Micai is brash, bronzed and rakishly good looking.
Dresses like a million and acts the owner of the premises, no matter what. In his mind's eye, he sees himself as a new Cesare Borgia, a prince capable of playing all the parts against each other while enjoying the dividends. This trait will become evident in the "Kulten" affair.
Does not know about the K. puppetmasters contrlling Propaganda, and would be thoroughly scared should he discover the truth.

Weapons: in case of need, .12 shotgun (55%)

Character Description:
The Prince is a relic of the old Italian Empire dream. He served in Africa during the colonial campaigns and remembers a world made od elegant parties and proud difiance.
During the Regime years, the Prince was smart enough to set aside for himself a fair share of the former Gualino empire (movie productions, services, textiles) and a small but profitable share of FIAT stocks and, later, during the Dolce Vita years, a reasonably wealthy russian wife.
He currently resides in his baroque villa just out of Rome where he idles the time away.
He has placed a huge amount of his money on the Propaganda bill, as he was convinced the P. plans included a restoration of Italian Monarchy and the return of the Savoy dinasty.
He does not know, but part of his money are about to be used by Micai in order to secure the Gatto-Biorghi copy of the VonJunst book.

Roleplaying notes: eurotrash

Character description:
Reasonably spoiled, bitchy and an enthusiastic coke user, Elvira is a member of the old ruling class, irresistibly attracted by the new one.
During her University years, she has been used as a courier by Propaganda, and later was involved in some minor blackmail and other low-grade operations to secure minor advantages for the organization.
She has recognized in Micai a fellow predator and is happy to come along for the ride.
Roleplaying note:
She's a sight and she knows it.
Rude, spoiled, normally buzzed out of her knickers after sunfall. Loves disco.
Childish when dealing with Micai.

al-Bilal

 Age 45, integralist hothead, leader of Dum al-Khafil al-Alal

Character Description:
Al Bilal (clearly an alias) is a minor player in the integralist/foundamentalist arcipelago of Moslim factions.
Basically a nonentity in his native area, he entered Italy (with the intention of relocating in Germany afterwards) in 1987.
Headhunted by Propaganda elements masquerading as integralist supporters, he was financed in his setting up of a definitive tool of destruction, called Dum al-Khafil al-Alal (Death to the Foreign Infidel).
The group was involved in some terrorist activities in the Mediteranean area, but has been so far underestimated by anti-terrorist outfits.
After 1992, Al Bilal and his men are by all means Micai's private army.
He can count on three dozens of fanatical supporters ready for anything.

Roleplaying notes:
Hatred.
