COMBAT ASSESSMENT: Long-ranged fighter, prefers to provide cover fire and tactical shots in combat rather than be close to the front lines. The Benedictions he has selected are all geared towards increasing his prowess on the battlefield and disabling his targets.

HISTORY
Paolo’s first encounter with the supernatural was actually the disappearance of Marissa, his older sister: she had left home after an altercation with his parents, and had never come back. His second encounter was what ended up tagging him with the Methuselah: the ghost of his grandfather, driven mad by Amrita, attacked his family when he was eighteen. The Methuselah sent in a blade of fighters to neutralize the situation, and Paolo insisted on joining their conspiracy as a Hunter. He enrolled in Ateneo de Manila University for that purpose.

Because of his genial disposition and inherent talent as a fighter, it was not too long before Paolo managed to cobble a blade out of the very different young men and women that comprised the Pack. He was elected as their blade leader, and became the moral glue that kept his friends together through thick and thin. It helped, of course, that he fell madly in love with Jennifer Deveras, his blade mate – he was certain, within the first six months, that he wanted to be with Jen for the rest of his life.

In the middle of 2012, a little after he and the rest of the Pack defected from the Methuselah and joined Netsach, Paolo began to train with the Brotherhood of Violence: he wanted to make sure that his very human limitations were not going to get in the way of his ability to Keep the Vigil. He was a full-fledged Brother in Violence by the time Operation Nyx occurred, and put his knowledge of the Benedictions to good use in the fight. On another note, this was also the year that he – with the help of his comrades in Wolf’s Choice and the Rockin’ Rollas – discovered what had really happened to his sister Marissa. She had been taken by Cersei, and had lost her soul in Arcadia.

Directly after his marriage to Jen in 2012, Paolo was assigned as the Bishop of the Dragon Spires in the Philippines – this effectively made him Father Drake Badd’s second-in-command. He spent the majority of the Breaking of the Veil and the First Reforms engaged in Brotherhood of Violence operations around the country, and within Southeast Asia.

While he technically served as one Liyab’s high-ranking operatives on call during the Darkest Vigil, Paolo tried to go wherever he was required, and distinguished himself as a legendary sniper during anti-Grendal operations in Russia. He has told many of his closest friends that he managed to get out of a lot of close calls through sheer force of will, and the desire to come back home in one peace to his family.


CURRENT STATUS
Paolo is preparing to step down from his position as Bishop directly after the Armistice at Blaece. He has also retired from Hunting, which gives him a lot of time to be with his wife.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Where most others in his position would have quailed and questioned their place in the world, every traumatic incident that Paolo faced in his life only served to solidify his beliefs and increase his drive to help as many people as possible. He is a deliberate and careful leader, sound in his judgment and fair to all parties concerned. He is also a relentless fighter on the battlefield, known for his propensity to move in first and leave last, and only when he is absolutely sure that there is nothing else for him to do.

Paolo emerged from the Darkest Vigil much wiser and more subdued than he had ever been, but the events that he bore witness to did not leave lasting scars. This may be attributed to the fact that his family was the stabilizing factor in his life during his most trying times, and effectively kept him sane.


THREAT LEVEL
NOTABLE/NON-FACTOR. Paolo has since retired from the Hunt, and – even though he is a particularly strong Brother in Violence and made quite a name for himself as a sniper during the Darkest Vigil – is not a matter of concern in the larger picture.
