Don Flavio di Paté

Don Flavio di Paté is the young but brilliant scion of the di Paté merchant family and the head of the powerful Arte di Calimala guild. His position allows him to all but rule the Firenzo from the shadows and no decision in the city goes through without his approval.
His enemies often tell behind his back that Flavio is only interested in "shagging anything that has two legs and a hole", a rumor substantiated by the orgies don Flavio organizes in his palazzo.
His allies know very well, that don Flavio pays loyalty back with loyalty and blood with blood. Allegedly many of his lovers double as his spies, which would explain how easy it is for don Flavio to acquire all sorts of condemning information on fellow patricians.
