Antonio

Antonio is a member of the brotherhood at the Monastery in Palermo, and has known both Emilia and Vittoria since they were children.

Early Life
He grew up just next door to the twins, and Emilia states that as a child, she'd always dreamt of marrying him one day. Though Emilia is unsure if her feelings were ever reciprocated, there were moments when Antonio made it seem as if he shared her sentiments. He would linger outside her family's restaurant and wait to walk her home, and she believed, at some moments, that he was working up the nerve to make a move.

Antonio joined the Brotherhood the moment he became old enough, effectively stopping him from ever having a romantic relationship. A few months before the events of Kingdom of the Wicked, the brotherhood sent him on a

Kingdom of the Wicked
According to Emilia, during the events of Kingdom of the Wicked, Antonio is just three years older than she and her sister. He is also the newest appointed member of the Monastery's brotherhood.

Appearance
Antonio is described as young and handsome. According to Emilia, his eyes are the colour of melted chocolate and his lips always hint at a sweet smile. His hair is brown and just long enough to fall over his brow.

Personality
At first, Antonio appears to be kind and protecting. He is nothing but caring with Emilia at the beginning of Kingdom of the Wicked, going as far as to try and protect her when Vittoria scares them both in the monastery basement. He is a devout man, extremely devoted to the cause of the brotherhood and to his religion. When Antonio is revealed to be the murderer, it is made clear that he killed the Streghes because he was influenced by someone pretending to be an angel. This further proves his devotion to the cause of the brotherhood, as well as his own desire to be important in it.

In book two, Antonio' character has drastically changed. He has become a smaller and more broken version of himself, though he still believes in the cause his angel, now revealed to have been Vittoria, set him on.
