There are few tales as strange as that of Divuorafuoco and Burattino. So it goes that distraught after his family died in the calamity from the heavens, Divuorafuoco turned inwards to his craft. Left old and alone, he tried to recreate the happiness of a family, making a new son from the same tree as that which stood on his family burial ground.
Yet this would be no ordinary marionette. Given gifts from the Rent in the Sky, anything Divuorafuoco crafted would be cursed with life, and the puppet Burattino was born. An evil presence, imbued with the tortured souls of those Divuorafuoco lost, Burattino seeks vengeance on the living. Tied together with imperceptible strings, Divuorafuoco has no choice but to follow his own creation into the night, watching it butcher its way through Venice with an eerie silence.'
This set contains Burattino (and technically Divuorafuoco too!), a Gifted for hire. A tiny fighter, this grisly puppet is an excellent Assassin. With strong attacks that can heal it, this diminutive monster counts everything as larger than it - particularly useful for its Hunter special rule, but a bit of a drag when it comes to being grappled or drowned!
Burattino is a Gifted character, which means it can join the Commedia dell'Arte to make a full gang. But as a Gifted, it can also be taken in any other faction, providing some surprising menace for a relatively cheap Ducat cost!
