BACKGROUND
A third-generation thief, Antonio was always destined to join the family business. In fact, from the age of 7, he was learning the tricks of the trade with his father on the streets of Rome. Acting as the diversion Antonio would steal a wallet or other such item from the mark and run off. The trick was that his father would “catch” him before he got too far and return the wallet, only to pick the mark’s pocket and re-steal the wallet.

As Antonio got older, he became more adept at picking pockets and the tricks changed, but never his partner. Antonio’s father was his idol and they were inseparable. Inseparable, that is, until the pair were caught when Antonio was 13. Being a minor, Antonio was placed in the custody of social services. However, his father was imprisoned for 5 years. By the time of his release, Antonio had made his mark in the underworld of Rome and didn’t need a partner, but the two were glad to be reunited. Antonio had “upgraded” from petty larceny during those years and was know as the man who could get almost anything – whatever the timescale.

Antonio doesn’t really care who hires him, as long as they pay, in advance, for his services. To this end, he has worked for a variety of organisations – not always knowing, nor necessarily caring, who was picking up the tab.
