Antoine Alduino [M/29] is charming, witty, sophisticated and manipulative. Antoine, whom hates having his name shortened to Tony or any other derivative, spent his youth being raised by a generation of wealthy idiots that dwindled away the fortune of their forefathers. While this took some time to sink it, when it did, Antoine developed a deep-rooted disdain for his family and by ultimately just about everyone. The bitter youth Antoine had, despite his popularity in school, sculpted him into an individual with few morals, fewer boundaries and completely willing to undermine or eliminate anyone that would post a threat to him or his future, including his own family.

Family (The Alduino Empire) was once a large crime family during the Prohibition Era. After Prohibition ended and criminal activity was cracked down on, the Alduino family were one of the first ones to "sell out" their existing crime syndicates and gain amnesty from the law and retain their wealth. The next generation that followed survived the Great Depression and World War II, then managed to establish businesses of all sorts in the booming economy. All of the Alduino cousins essentially inherited some form of self-ran business. This generation, however, grew up in the soft lofts of their parents, spoiled to death and wasting away the money the family had as well as dissolving their ties to others. Son of Kenneth Alduino, Antoine specifically comes from a line of convenience stores that at one point grossed millions of dollars in their specific tri-state area, but has since been selling out and giving up land solely for the quick profit from it.[/padding]



  • - Antoine has a cold burning passion that keeps him calm, analytic and reserved.
    - Antoine is manipulative and conniving, often with no moral compass
    - Antoine will act quickly and extremely, preferring instant results such as murder over violence or a fight

  • - Antoine has a disdain for getting his hands dirty, preferring to end things quickly or not directly be involved
    - Antoine is not unfit, but he has no outstanding physical traits. Anyone with training or talent will surpass him.

  • - Antoine takes great pride in the accomplishments of his forefathers and fears not living up to their repute. Failure is his biggest fear.
    - A close second for Antoine is the idea of ever becoming like his parents.

  • - Antoine, at one point, began taking over several of his extended family's businesses solely through management tactics. After improving his father's chain of convenience stores, he improved stores such as produce, restaurants, etc., and took great pride in bringing the accomplishments of his family back into the light.



History
[padding][spacer]Antoine was born into the relatively wealthy Alduino family, and from a young age he understood his family acted different from those he saw at school. Even the other wealthy families, many of which he disliked from a young age without yet understanding why, did not live so frivolous or make decisions just for a quick profit. His father, Kenneth, often would sell off branch stores just to go on a vacation, to which Antoine enjoyed, but Kenneth was very verbal about how he came into his sudden burst of money, and that "how" never made sense to Antoine. As he continued to grow up, from a toddler to a pre-teen, his understanding of these things grew greater and greater, and he understood the type of family he came from. He understood that his parents and their siblings were nothing more than spoiled brats—almost all of them.

Antoine spent his teenage years developing a sense of identity that was, essentially, the exact opposite of his parents'. While he could have paid for most of his private schooling and eventually college out of pocket, Antoine earned his place in classes through scholarships and an insane work ethic solely to spite his parents. Not that they cared. Antoine did this for himself. Antoine did everything for himself and the only person he grew up trying to prove anything to was himself. He constantly pushed himself harder and harder, farther and farther until he was so ahead of the curve that his peers often hated him. Even still, Antoine didn't care. He didn't exactly grow up in a "loving" home and people, as he grew up, tended to be tools for him. That favorite teacher? She was just a name on a reference list. That brilliant professor? He was just a stepping stone for Antoine into the world of academia.​

At age 24, Antoine finished out his Masters in Business Administration with degree programs for entrepreneurship, economics and business technology all under his belt. Antoine used all of this information to spend the next two years taking over his father's businesses and improving them to such degrees that they swamped their competition. Soon enough, he offered his services to the rest of his family, promising profits and even offering a down-payment as a sort of wager. In just two years, Antoine jumped right out of college and took a chokehold on his family fortune, nearly tripling their net worth, but also creating a rift in the family. While the older members of the family were proud of his accomplishments and thought he would be the "savior of the Alduin", the younger siblings of the previous generations and his cousins absolutely resented him.

It was for this purpose that they literally tried to have him killed. The most spoiled generation from a family of former criminals. Who would have guessed? In any case, Antoine took a large sum of money and fled after a failed attempt at his life and a gunshot wound. Antoine was rejected by his petulant family, ungrateful for his work and unfaithful to the Alduino cause. He burned with begrudging passion to cause their ruin. To cause them pain. To destroy them. His greatest desire is to make them wish they never tasted wealth because if his will comes to fruition they never will again. This desire, this grudge, this passion, this dramatic taste for vengeance brought him to Hecate, where the competition was offered for a spot among the Gods. With that kind of power, what would take Antoine a lifetime to do would become a wistful and divine effort.​
