Ruseau Valentini

Lord Ruseau Valentini, Baron of Deggio is a Chailean noble, as well as a member of the Chailea Thieves Guild located in Marotto. He is a friend of Markeau Paralleo, and a seeming lover of Elizaveta.

Basic Information
Little is known about Ruseau's early life. He once spoke about how he had a hard upbringing, and that he had to learn to "fight dirty" at a young age. Because of this, he considers Markeau a kindred spirit, being able to tell he too lived a less-than-stellar childhood, even without his saying so.

Like many, as an orphan, he was eventually found and taken in by the Guildmaster of the Chailea Thieves Guild, who taught him everything he knows.

Friendship with Markeau
Ruseau is one of the few nobles not to turn Markeau away during his entry into the nobility; though this is was mostly out of knowing that, like himself, Markeau was a member of the Thieves Guild. Because of this, it was he who pushed for the nobility to take notice of Markeau. He is also the one who introduced Markeau to other Guild members in Marotto, such as Sabine and Audric, as well as noblewoman Vethenia, who would later become his wife. He was also aware of Markeau's infidelity, choosing not to involve himself where he felt he didn't belong, as well as knowing that it'd be like the pot calling the kettle black - due to his own hedonistic ways.

He and Markeau worked together outside of the circles of nobility as well, having completed a few jobs together.

Relationship with Elizaveta
Elizaveta and Ruseau clearly have a history together, due to their amorous nature when around each other. How deep that history is, is unknown. She seems to be aware of his hedonistic nature, not that it mitigates her clear attraction to him.
