Orlando

Orlando is a vampire and proprietor of The Strega Palace Hotel in New York City. They are the owner of the mind ring.

Childhood
Orlando was born Mario in Sicily, Italy in 1754. Growing up a peasant, they eventually became an apprentice to a painter at 16 and met DADDY VAMPIRE'S NAME when doing his portrait. The two fell in love and left Italy together for Greece. After 2 years of traveling together, DADDY VAMPIRE'S NAME turned Mario.

The spent years going around Europe with one another, being pursued by various vampire houses after DADDY VAMPIRE's ring. Eventually one caught up to them back in Italy and DADDY VAMPIRE died. Orlando pursued the murderer and got the ring after a brief time as a captive then fell into mourning.

Orlando stayed in Italy mourning for a few decades, not really aware of what was going on until eventually getting over it and starting to move throughout Europe and eventually the Americas, settling in New Orleans and then finally New York.

New York
Having acquired mass amounts of wealth and followers for years, Orlando eventually settled in New York purchasing a hotel and renaming it the Strega Palace. Orlando also bought the next door church and converted it into a nightclub in the 70s.

The club became a goth club and people sorta knew there were witches and vampires there but from the outside, most people assumed they were just lying goths. Orlando grew their court here, referring to themselves as Barron, Baroness, Count, or Countess.
