Ezio Darvoni

As a young adult, Ezio went to school to study water management and conservation and became obsessed with trying to improve desalination technology, but to little success. He struggled financially through his twenties, but married a woman who was supportive of his endeavors. During this time, they had two children: Laralind and Ferdinand. It wasn't until Ezio's thirties that he achieved a breakthrough by developing a way existing technology could work more efficiently on a larger scale. Though it did not take off as he had hoped, it allowed his family more stability.

When his wife died, Ezio's focus shifted from invention to profit and his goals became more and more fixed on achieving great wealth. A major step in that direction was Laralind's marriage to Veston Tøkjar, an ambitious budding name at the harbor. Veston and Laralind believed that Ezio's work could see much greater success in overseas markets, especially in the Coderite Empire of the continent, where large-scale operations would be far more profitable. Ezio leapt at the opportunity, and formed a close partnership with Veston and his associates, including the Ramseys.

As time went on, Veston's ruthless methods saw him embroiled in controversy, to the point that even Laralind disavowed him after believing him responsible for the city governor's sudden death, but Ezio struck by him through it all. Stane Ramsey was initially selected as their candidate for governor, but when victory was uncertain, Ezio and Veston agreed to switch their support to his opponent, Aljon Torez, in return for a promise that Torez would not interfere with any of their business. Because of this, Torez emerged the victor, leaving Ezio's children horrified that he continued to support Veston even after Veston threatened to harm Laralind if she exposed his crimes, for which Ezio blamed Laralind, calling her stupid for provoking a man like Veston. All Ezio could see was the wealth he believed was guaranteed him by working with Veston and his Coderite network.

This proved a false hope, as the Ramseys, humiliated by their defeat, betrayed Veston and had him killed by his own hired assassin. They then assumed control of his business assets and froze Ezio out of the Calzon Commerce Guild which they established the following year. With his lofty dreams shattered and his children unsympathetic and cold, Ezio's final years were spent in bitter regret.
