Personality: Emanuele is generally calm, cool, collected and relatively unflappable. His sense of humor is dry and he tends to be quiet and self contained, preferring books and sketching to human interaction. He can get deadly serious when necessary though, his focus laser tight and his determination fierce. Once the adrenaline/danger has passed, however, he will often find himself at the bottom of a bottle despite almost never imbibing at other times. His belief in God is unwavering, though he's very much of the camp that 'God helps those who help themselves'. He has also shaken off many of the church's more...antiquated ideas about women and sexuality over the years, preferring to take a 'live and let live' stance on such matters. Has been known to do things of questionable legality and even morality in order to protect people and deal with angry spirits

Likes: Fresh pasta and wood fired pizza (yes he's kind of a food snob, especially when it comes to Italian food), Sunrises, Early morning mass, The work of Frank Lloyd Wright and Zaha Hadid are among his favorite architects,

Dislikes: Modern Christian music (it feels empty and soulless), Fusion foods, Brutalism,
