Role
- Much of the Lombard intrigue that drags in the heroes is woven at his court.
- He named the amnesiac axiomite artificer Ananta “Leonardo da Vinci” and took him into his service as an engineer of wonders.
- His consort Beatrice d’Este, pregnant by Graz’zt, with tail and scourge beneath her duchess’s gown, carries the demonic seed in the house of Milan.
- Milan is one of the five powers of Italy which, read against the light, prove to be united Invisible Cities.
