History
Ian Corso was born in 1576, the son of a Lombard merchant whose caravan routes stitched together towns and secrets. At seventeen he left the stalls and ledgers to join the Papal army in 1593, learning discipline and sword craft beneath banners that promised divine order. By 1600 he had earned a place in the Papal Guard — a position of honor that taught him restraint, duty, and the taste for silent watch. In 1603 his life ruptured when Roman Pendragon, a darkly charismatic stranger who stalked the corridors between power and predation, embraced him. The ritual unmoored Ian from time: the faith he had worn like armor unraveled into a quieter, hungrier creed. Where once he kept vigil for the safety of flesh and soul, he now kept nights that stretched into centuries, his training turning savagely useful and his conscience a blade he both wielded and bled upon.
For a hundred years he shadowed Roman across Europe until, in 1700, they traveled together to England, a country of fog and new ambitions that suited Roman's hunger for influence. Their companionship frayed over the next century as Roman's methods grew crueler, his appetite less selective; in 1800 Ian turned on him, a knife thrown as much from shame as self-preservation. The betrayal cast Ian into dangerous loneliness until Horace Holden, a discreet patron with ties both noble and subterranean, sheltered him from Roman's retribution and from the hunt of other predators who smelled treachery. By 1865 Ian had remade himself publicly as the face of the Carfax Abbey club, a velvet-fronted institution where he cultivated influence among mortals and immortals alike, a man of manners who could still draw a blade at need and whose long shadow was whispered about in parlors from Piccadilly to the Continent.
