Description
Originally I had envisioned this character as a twisted St. Valentine's Day villain to be opposed to my heroic Christmas themed super reindeer team, and in the past I have presented him in special holiday artwork in February. He was also originally connected with my St. Patrick's Day villainess, The Ladychaun, but now in the above bio I've just hinted that he has worked with other villains and in her bio there is no mention of any kind of connection between the two of them, but it is possible that I will use the idea in future comics. So although it is now March, I have decided to go ahead and present this character anyway in honor of those original concepts despite the changes made in order to make both characters more universal.
His base of operations is in Venice, Italy, and this is also his place of origin. He is also my only character who is from there and/or carries out his activities from this location. This makes him somewhat isolated, but in his case this isn't a big deal since he's more of an international villain, as well as an international figure in his day job as a fashion designer where he strives to hide his criminal persona from his public one.
I'm also considering giving him the added ability to sprout a set of cloth wings from his suit jacket via some kind of high-tech nano cloth, giving him the appearance of a kind of Cupid-like figure to go along with his motif of being a dark version of a love based character. I think that would be pretty cool, and give him some much needed mobility not only for combat, but also for making a quick escape from danger if his plans go wrong, and also allow him to get from place to place if one of his more conventional modes of transport isn't available. Plus, if anyone sees him with the wings deployed, it probably wouldn't cause that much of an uproar or suspicion since he is a fashion designer after all, and it would probably just be seen another one of his many outrageous design concepts and just another part of his eccentricity.

wonderful can't wait to see more
Thanks, and don't worry I've got two more coming, but unfortunately I can only post one at a time on this site, and I wasn't able to get them all in time for the 17th.
