Nikolo has a reputation as an efficient bureaucrat, obsessed with numbers. Prince Adeline plucked him from obscurity in Bologna to help coordinate the logistics of her attack on Zagreb, and rewarded him with the position of Sensechal.
As Seneschal, Nikolo has strengths and weaknesses: He seemingly has no ambition to rise above his current station. He has an encyclopedic memory for boons and available resources, but rarely uses those resources creatively. Perhaps his worst trait, Nikolo can be goaded into a tizzy when the value of his numbers are questioned. Prince Adeline has, so far, protected him from the worst of it.
As a last oddity, Nikolo is often accompanied by a Gargoyle bodyguard, who takes the occasional opportunity to flaunt his freedom in front of the city's Tremere.
While most dislike dealing with him, Nikolo is indispensable to the Kindred of Zagreb. He knows everyone, and remembers minute details, the importance of which he seemingly fails to grasp. He can spot Sabbat movements by reading the newspapers, and anticipate who a Masquerade witness will speak to over drinks. These revelations are doled out in a slightly stammering, dried up drone of a career aide to petty middle management.
Nikolo has been known to favor a pretty face by leaving a flower where its owner might find it. He is constantly shocked by the macabre elysium antics of the Nosferatu Primogen: So much so that the latter has given up tormenting him.
Appearance Those who have met him are often surprised by his height. In person, he gives such a good impression of being a dried up, mousy man, while his photographs are more suggestive of a stork. Either way, he is gauntly skinny, with wispy white fly-away hair covering a mottled head. His hunched, gangly frame is usually clad in an off-the-shelf Italian pin-stripe suit (which covers but doesn't conceal the tactical body armor Prince Trucheon insists he wear). His face is dominated by his oversized Roman nose, atop which perches a pair of dime-store reading glasses. Those who have bothered to notice report that his eyes are a milky dark grey.
