Giacomo DiSheere

Biography: The second son of the noble House DiSheere, Giacomo was always his father’s favourite and he knew it. Though he wasn’t set to inherit anything when he grew up, Giacomo was always more ambitious than his brother, in addition to being smarter. He grew up in Hawk’s Roost and doesn’t remember ever living in the eastern lands his family rules, but does remember the politics of the capital defining his entire life. He became adept in them at a young age and then, when his dad and brother told him he wasn’t old enough to play politics, he played them anyway without telling anyone. Though he made a few missteps at first, his forays into politics were generally very successful and now that his father is dead, he openly plays the game and plays it better than anyone else, and that’s how he plans to win it.

Notes:


 * Giacomo has many long-term goals, but he doesn’t make complex and involved plans, as he feels those are doomed to fail. He just works to turn every situation towards his goals
 * Giacomo has always been aware that he is charismatic and intelligent beyond most people
 * All of Giacomo’s goals are oriented towards his brother and his family’s success
 * Giacomo knows when people find him attractive and is happy to use that to his advantage, even if he’s not particularly interested in that person
 * Giacomo tries not to rely on other people. He doesn’t trust them to do what’s necessary
 * Giacomo genuinely likes his friends and enjoys their company, regardless of whether they’re useful to him. But he will always put their usefulness to him first if it comes to a test, and he doesn’t worry about hurting them, or anyone, to achieve his goals
 * Giacomo promised Geoffrey he wouldn’t lie to him. He doesn’t think that lying is that big a deal if it’s about things it doesn’t help Geoffrey to know
 * Giacomo had been having sex with his father for about three months before Gerhard died
 * Giacomo sees violence as one of many tools, sometimes more effective than others and therefore to be used first
 * Politics aside, Giacomo fantasizes often about living with Geoffrey and a harem of his friends who are there to satisfy him and his brother. He believes many of his friends would be content with this

Quotes:

 * “Aw, you noticed? I’d hoped I snuck by everyone.”

 * “I hate that platitude. It sounds like a platitude.”
 * “If you ask me to call you daddy I’m going to bite your dick off.”
 * “Don’t fuck around with me, Geoffrey. I’m liable to stab someone and I don’t mind if it’s you.”
 * “Thank you for finally helping. You’re a great service to this family.”
 * “Hi, cousin, Geoffrey has fond memories of you, but you’re just a bigger kid I met once. So as far as I’m concerned, you’re just another enemy making my life harder.”
 * “You suck at ruling. If you’re going to fuck up a kingdom, do it to your own and not to mine, okay? That’s all I want.”

Modern AU: Modern Giacomo is an ordinary middle school student whose family happens to have millions of dollars lying around. Like his brother, he’s expected to finish school so he can inherit his share of the company, but he also knows that doesn’t matter because Geoffrey will give it to him if he asks anyway. But he’s having as much fun with it as he can and making a lot of friends, who he enjoys spending most of his time with. Giacomo doesn’t mind dabbling in politics for fun, but lately he’s found the criminal side of his family business much more stimulating; he gets to meet interesting people and provide Geoffrey the deniability he needs to succeed. When not doing school, politics or crime, Giacomo spends as much time as he can naked with his friends or his brother, often together, volunteers on his school’s fundraising committee, and also plans to become class president. He does not plan on running in the election.
