Agnes Albicio Albergotti "The Dom"

Many nefarious ne'er-do-wells made their names and their faces in history.

From pirates to highwaymen and even to the men and women who served in city and country government, each member of the shadowed evil of society made their place in the world.

But amongst them, only one truly sits on a throne of gold, worshipped by all others who stand before her.

This woman was born in the Histian Empire, and eventually immigrated to Aswary, on the western coast of Rethium.

Her name was Agnes Albicio Albergotti.

Born in nineteen-thirteen to a lowly mansion slave and the daughter of a wealthy elitist, Agnes was shunned from birth due to the controversy that surrounded it. Her extended family was never shy to make fun of Agnes and her supposedly 'unfortunate upbringing', and always had something to say concerning her parents and their methods of raising their daughter. Known to still be living in poverty even as their daughter continued to grow, they were always the targets of the extended families' jokes, dark humor and scorn.

Agnes attended a private school for children in the Empire, and was the unfortunate outcast even here, as it appeared that her past had caught up to her in places she had never seen before. She was the subject of cruel humor and practical jokes, and was shunned by the popular groups who had made their days by pretending to befriend her before betraying her and casting her away in an attempt to keep her in her lowest place without allowing her the pleasure of even having a single friend or trusted individual in the school, much less a decent day in the private institute. From the ages of five to seventeen, when she graduated from the private school in what would become to her the defining moment in her life as well as the only good memory of her life that she had had up until that point, she was made fun of, ridiculed, mocked, scorned and made the subject of the worst punishments imaginable by humankind. 

Until one day, during a birthday party that was held in the same large mansion in which she was born, which belonged to her uncle, the late government elite Phillipus Cinnius. His wife, Acilia and their daughters Cleostrata and Demiphones were also present at the event, but it would be this family who would meet Agnes' true wrath on this celebratory night. It had been a long day's worth of games and food and fun for all, until the time had come to open the gifts which the family had purchased for Agnes. The two sisters, both of whom were Agnes' cousins, had instead packed a box full of mud, which they had lied about actually being a large box full of glitter. They gathered in front of the entire crowd and proclaimed that they would be the ones to crown the queen that night, but the fun was about to come to a very abrupt end. The box opened, and instead of glitter, a pile of mud and excrement fell upon Agnes' head that night. Although there were mixed reactions from the family, Agnes was full of shame and despair, and shortly thereafter retreated from the room and upstairs to her bedroom, left to cry for the rest of the night and to be alone on one of the most important nights of her life. 

This would be the final straw.

Later that same night, a hired gunman - an ex-cop with a penchant for vengeful acts - forced entry into the home and set upon the family, specifically the girls that had been the pride and joy of the extended family ever since their birth. In cold blood the two girls were killed, and in the morning it was discovered that after the murder, Agnes had turned on the gunman and had shot him, professing that she had avenged her cousins' murder. It was soon found out though that Agnes had been behind the whole incident, and that she had hired the man before shooting him in retaliation. It followed soon after that she threatened her uncle and his wife with the same fate if they tried to confess to the police, which for their benefit they failed to do. 

Thus, the legend of Agnes Albergotti was born.

Throughout the years, she would spearhead crimes and raids and other despicable acts against her extended family and the city at large, becoming one of the most dangerous femme fatales in history. In her later years she married a banker, and soon thereafter brought his extended family into the mix of her dirty deeds. Thus, the Albergotti Family was born, and Agnes Albergotti had her name and her face cemented into history.

She lived a full life from nineteen-thirteen until her death in nineteen-seventy-five, when she was sixty-two years old. She was on her way to meeting concerning the distribution of her family wealth when she was gunned down in the middle of a traffic stop by an unknown assailant. The driver of the car and the two guards in the car's rear also perished along with Albergotti herself. After this event, due to the fact that she had never finalized the distribution of the family fortune, a bitter civil war that lasted for some five long years after Albergotti's death.

Albergotti herself had five children, these being the twins Nico Albergotti and his sister Generosa, as well as three children from other pregnancies that followed. These three children, Tea, Marana and their brother Ticone, became the three managing members of the Albergotti Family underneath Nico and Generosa, the latter of whom became the Dom of the Albergotti Family after her mother's death.
