Don Rinaldo Constantine Santana - Grimtooth - 08-27-2008
I was born Rinaldo Constantine Santana a son of Malta and member of a first landing familia a proud and wealthy Familia with honor and traditions dating back to the colonization of Malta. Our plantations have always produced many tonnes of the Orange dream and have branched out into smuggling it to the inner houses as well.
When the Blue Lotus Syndicate arose to power we considered it a minor thing and paid the export fee's they required as it was a small drop in the vast bucket of credits to be made in spreading the Orange dream.
My father having died not long after my birth was a mastermind at turning a profit and though i never knew him my Mother was easily his equal in this and taught me many tricks and tactics to gain an advantage in any buisiness dealings.
I was sent to the finest schools to educate my mind one already enhanced by the Cardamine all true Maltese need to live. After school i spent a few years as an outcast pilot learning to fight and pirate and be ruthless in combat as well as buisiness. I moved on to running a smuggler into Houston and New York hauling Cardamine out and slaves back thus gaining knowledge of who, when and how much to bribe to grease the cogs of the Cardamine trade. Then i got the news that my Mother was ill and returned to Malta to take my place as the head of my Familia. With no brothers and only younger sisters it has fallen to me to continue the familia's traditions.
Not long after my return Mother passed into the keeping of the great spirits and though i miss her she is in a better place. About a week after the funeral i received an invitation to attend a meeting of some of the most powerful Dons on Malta and learned that a grand council of Dons was to be formed to regulate outcast laws and to perform those tasks that needed some kind of ruling body to get done. Seeing this as an opportunity that is only presented once in a mans life time i accepted. After all this should be very entertaining, the intrigue and infighting, personal agendas and feuds that are sure to be present will give the chance for some very profitable deals to be made.
