(The Humble Short Biography of the Great Count Giacomo Girolamo Casannuendo. So Far...)
As we all know then in the post apocalyptic world of Defiance Liberatas are species who possess the sex appeal of a mediocre turnip and probably because of that they are as sexually active as a vegetable. But the rule doesn't exclude exceptions and one of those is Count Giacomo Girolamo Casannuendo, the hmphfest lover in the whole wide world or even in our known universe.
The Count begun his life as an ordinary Liberata, risen in the spirit of work ethics, prepared for a long lasting serving career and was about to become a bookkeep (who spent his free time in workshop making models and machines) despite the fact that he always felt sort of wrong in his diminutive body but wasn't sure what was wrong with him. That question was actually quite a hot conversation topic among other Liberatas as well, because every time they remembered his existence, they kept asking "What the hell is wrong with him?" Then they made...assumptions and usually treated him as he was a dear but definitely demented relative.
Everything in his life changed when he discovered The Book and found what his true purpose is. That Book of Books was a bit wretched paperback copy of the "Turtle Recall: The Discworld Companion...So Far." by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs and he read it dutifully without putting in much emotion until he reached to the article about Count Giamo Casanunda. He read that article again. Then he read it third time. And then he realised what was missing in his life - adventures! Especially amorous adventures because Count Giamo Casanunda was his dwarven equivalent in the Disc World. The very IDEA of the Count Casannuendo in the Defiance World.
The bookkeeping immediately became a forgotten chapter (but interest about mechanics remained and became quite useful) and in the next years the future Count Casannuendo spent training sword fighting, compliment honing and witty ways of arranging romantic meetings where nobody had to look down to each other because he put the landscape and built objects into his service to equalise differences of heights. Since he was meticulous and patient like all Liberatas, he developed his skills and talents almost to perfection and became appreciated guest in different Courts all over the world. Casannundo possessed a soul of an artist and seduction was his art he loved for the sake of the art.
Women found him hard to resist and so did castle walls, because Count Casannuendo (Yes, due to his favours he received the title and although we have to be discreet we are allowed to tell that those favours were HUGE) worked as a Soldier of Fortune as well and when he wasn't besieging a woman then he besieged some castle and vice versa. Men on the other hand often saw him as competitor and dangerous one indeed because the Count hadn't much hesitation about duelling. He preferred the fair fight - he fought only on the level of the height of his eyes - but other men somehow tried to avoid confronting with him for some reason which might had something to do with the fact that Count's eyes were usually in the same level with the family jewels of rest of the mankind and he principally refused to fence anywhere else than a flat and solid ground.
Count Giacomo Girolamo Casannuendo travelled around the world several times and conquered all continents. Amount of his deeds is enough to provide at least five German writers with a lifetime work but since this one is supposed to be the SHORT biography of Count Casannuendo as we promised, we won't even try to count his adventures here. Anyway - at one point the Count felt an urge to retire and spend the rest of his life in somewhere peaceful. From all places on Earth his choice was a small island of Elysium - shelter for artistic talents. He assumed that as a Court poet and prose writer he might feel at home there. especially when that home was full of good food, excellent wine and kind women. He packed his collection of mechanical wonders, all created by the genial inventor Count Giacomo Giromalo Casannuendo into his speed vehicle, he called "Pegasus" and took his course to Elysium.
There he met Paradise Protectors and deciding that he was way too young, talented and good looking to retire yet, he joined them in their adventures during which he fell in love with Madame Erica Widowmaker and found himself several friends. After the tragic loss of Erica the Count was devastated but with the help of his friends, especially one particular exotic synthetic beauty, called Brooke who happens to be more than a friend to him, he regained his shaved, high coiffeured, witty and sharp tongued stance and is ready for new adventures...
