Bio: Emilio was born to a Spanish noblewoman Humerta de Vallente who was married off to an even more important Spanish noble, Geraldo Cicatrise, his father was an Egyptian pirate known as Khal al Rushdi. During childhood he was treated as any other Cicatrise child and given all the amenities as if he were the nobleman’s own son. Primarily this was done because Humerta insisted and her family would defend her honor to the death. And so Emilio was cared for. He learned myths and history and languages and horse-riding, and all the other kinds of education a Spanish noble could afford, which happened to be a great deal. 

Throughout his entire childhood Emilio was a difficult child. He felt the scorn from his supposed father and he knew that he was different from all of his siblings, and even his own mother; he always felt like an outsider. When he was 12 he learned of his birthfather from his mother, after a heated argument. He felt so relieved to learn about his true father, but the information wasn’t enough, he needed to find him. Emilio hatched a plan at the age of 13 to run from his home and find the pirate father that had left him in this prison. He stole a great deal of valuable jewelry and other things he could sell to make his way. He immediately found a home on a pirate vessel, working as nothing but an errand boy. 

By the time he was 18 Emilio had learned so much from his adventures on the high seas, as well as amassed a small fortune. And, he was on the heels of his father. Not long after Emilio found his dad lying on a beach somewhere in the Mideast. Once the old man knew that Emilio was truly his son, he took him aboard his famed vessel, The Blood Brigands. Emilio sailed with his father for 7 years until he was killed during a raid in the Caribbean. Emilio, at this point a wise and fearsome man, took the reins of the ship without issue. He took the ship back to the Mediterranean and set the little sea aflame. He raided all along the coasts there, eventually making his way to the Adriatic where he encountered a sea creature the likes of which no one had ever known. 

In the last year of his time aboard the vessel he took the ship to Portugal, where he began causing trouble since the countries forces were wrapped up in dealing with the Spanish. Eventually, as tends to happen aboard Pirate ships, Emilio was mutinied by a trusted ally and thrown overboard right off of the Portuguese coast. He swam back, utterly dismayed by the staggering turn of events, tried to make his way through Portugal. As it happens, he was apprehended in the north and brought down to Sintra, where he was wanted the most. He was destined to have his head chopped off before another twist of fate would turn his luck around. 
Notes: Emilio currently has a huge scar on his chest, a new addition. It looks to be a burn scar, in reality it is a mark of his recent encounter with magic. [/b]
