Enzo Giovanni

Former Subdivision Director of Finance (FIN)

The Subdivision Director of Finance, Enzo Giovanni, disappeared in the late twentieth century, leaving a small pile of greasy ash in his executive suite to mark his passing. The rest of the Board presumed that he had died. Franklin Rubin came on board and took on Giovanni’s position, with Giovanni becoming a short footnote in the annals of Pentex history.

In the last six months a creature calling itself Enzo Giovanni has returned, but not as the rest of Board remember him. The vampire had been large of frame, with a thick mane of hair and a stylish goatee, well kept enough to appearing in person at evening corporate functions. This new Enzo Giovanni does not resemble that picture at all. While the voice is unmistakably his, and he knows things only Giovanni could know, this vampire is a desiccated husk, resembling a shriveled corpse in a too-large suit.

There are rumors of Giovanni-sightings around Endron drilling stations and Magadon development sites. He’s somehow obtained passes allowing him admittance, and has compelled staff to divulge sensitive information. He left behind obscure warnings about shapeshifters and other creatures with oblivious factory managers, and commanded them to pass the messages up to senior management. When news of his return reached the Board, only Culliford was unsurprised. He stated that the Board should permit Giovanni’s actions for the time being, giving many the impression the wily old man is fully aware of Enzo’s purpose.

In truth, even Culliford doesn’t know Giovanni’s motives. So far, Enzo has represented neither his vampire family nor Pentex to anyone of importance. Harold Zettler is taking a personal interest in the reappearance of Giovanni — he wants the vampire staked and brought to him — despite Culliford’s request to the contrary. Culliford and Zettler have not yet come to blows, but the Malkavian is intent on defying the Executive Vice President.
