I'm the last "surviving" member of the Contiellos, a famous line of opera singers and long-time clients of the Medici family.

Fourteen years ago, tragedy befell my family when the Medici Mafia came close to obtaining the Skull Heart. Vitale's top assassin, Black Dahlia, was ordered to murder me ( ; , ; ) and my parents by the Mafia - the very people who seemed to be some of their family's closest allies. It was during this incident that I became one of the Skullgirl's undead minions. Once the threat had been defeated, only my body was recovered, and I was buried in a service provided by Lorenzo himself.

Fast forward to the present: Marie's emergence has awoken me from my long sleep. As part of the Skullgirl’s undead legion, I should have become nothing more than a mindless servant of the pale maiden. However, thanks to the powers of my Parasite, Leviathan, I is spared this fate.

Having been passed through the Continello family for generations, Leviathan is refined and dotes on me like my father and previous host did. This long familial history has made my bond with Leviathan deeper and more fundamental than that of most Parasites, and allows us to work harmoniously both in and out of battle like synchronized dance partners. our unique circumstance also seems to have given us abilities beyond this world, as well.
