I guess it's my turn to join the party. :D

Assuming I get a final thumbs up from the ThirtyThr33, Gasparo Gritti will join the fold.

I was like, "Gritti? That sounds kinda familiar..."

And then it struck me.

Andrea Gritti

Are we talking about the Doge's bastard?!?! :o

Rumor has him painted as a base-born bastard of some important noble, though his parentage will change depending on the rumor's source. These rumors will often also hint at the ill response at those who should breach the subject.

What surprise? It's common knowledge that Gritti is the Doge of Venice, even for Ferran. :D

Want a real twist? Gasparo being the Pope's bastard, posing as Gritti's bastard. :twisted:

Yeah, that would be too obvious. I guess you're right, he's definitely a pope's bastard.

Approved.

Ha! Ferran was also planning to work with the name once he returned to Venice.
