Gregor will stay close to Ferran's room, without evesdropping, though. He just wants to be around if that large guy does anything unexpected or his master needs him.

If only I weren't taking notes for Giovanni! Perhaps later!thirtythr33 wrote:Being the actual devil, I think it'd be even more amusing if Agamemnon tempted Giogio's Temper flaw.
Suck it Benedict.6th March wrote:Benedict: I was thinking that the philosopher Ferran mentioned is Giovanni Pico della Mirandola.
Which means we're talking about (a) a man who is widely known and (b) one that should be dead for nearly 30 years.
thirtythr33: Sounds great!
Giovanni lives in the Duchy of Mirandola, not Venice though. It is where modern day Modena is, conveniently half way in-between Venice and Florence...
Also, Ferran doesn't know about his supposed death, only that he would expect the man to be ~60 years old.
Benedict: Here is the thing.
Ferran doesn't know particulars about Giovanni. His mentor only told him that di Mirandola is one of the most learned men, a magician, and one that "cheated death".
Note that di Mirandola was a celebrity by that era's standards and his word and death was known in the city states.
You can situate him either in Mirandola, or to Venice where he fled to escape his assassins. No matter what, the bloke is living under an assumed name.
thirtythr33: Let me worry about that

"Try me little man, and you'll find out exactly how I came upon this little cat gutter."
If that's not Temper, what is? Skewering each other to death?Giorgio wrote:"Sorcery!" he shouts, interposing himself between Marco and Don Giovanni with one hand on the hilt of his Katzbalger. "What have you done Don Giovanni?! What deviltry has been committed here?"
