Vito Armandasanti was a banker and wealthy upstanding citizen by day and the leader of a criminal underground by night in the early 1980s. He lived in a giant palace in Chevy Chase, Md. with his devout mother and spoiled sister as head of the family. His beloved father passed away, leaving Vito his empire to build upon.
Vito’s bank, Common Commerce, teetered near insolvency and the newly-arrived Russian mob had begun to encroach upon his mafia family’s territory on the Southeast waterfront. And then, Vito found out that he had a teenage son he had never met who needed his kidney to live. On top of all of this, a giant conglomerate owned by VenCor began to make overtures to buy his bank out from under him.
True leaders are made during times of great stress, and that was no different for Vito. Through a series of events, Vito would soon find that VenCor was more than it appeared to be and that he was indeed a very small fish in a vast ocean when compared to the true rulers of the world: the Kindred . . . and specifically, the Ventrue.
Vito was groomed and prepared by his sire to step into his new role as a ruler of the night. He saved his son, wrapped up loose ends and enthusiastically prepared for his new unlife among the truly damned.
Vito was christened with the new name, “Vitus,” from the latin, “Life.” He has begun to build his own spheres of influence, from shipping and prostitution to more legitimate ventures, like investing in nascent internet businesses.
He has made friends among the Kindred, and has been encouraged by his Clan to make even more. He has proven to be resourceful in managing Clan affairs while also growing his personal realm. Being young, he is the lowest-ranking member of the VenCor Board.
Vitus is a dual citizen of Alexandria and Georgetown Domains.
