Emiliano de Hierro Sinsangre
A scrapper and penny pincher, who grew up counting cobre y plata, and watching the price of pan and leche like a starving fox watches a dying deer get torn into by wolves. Always waiting for his turn to eat. Perhaps it was this hunger that lead him to the fighting pits and arenas. That same hunger that kept him driving at his opponents, even as hammering fists crashed against his bones and threatened to break him. Hunger, poverty, the broken home he came from, the family he found in his days as a pugilist, those things only served to form him into the man he would become. Relentless in his pursuits. Dogged in his ambitions. Humble in his victories. Never one to back down from a fight.

He has a beaming smile, and the fact that he still has all his teeth in tact is a mark of great pride.

Biography & Lore
"What do you want to know? How my father used to have me pull the plow across our dusty fields, because we were too poor to get a new mule? Oh, no, wait, let me guess, you want to hear about the first time I had to put on the gloves," he smiles, slicks back his hair with a toss of the head and the flat of his palm. "Well, guess there is no harm in telling it," he shakes his head, dismayed, if only just, but he smiles all the same. "But first," he raises a flute of sparkling wine to you, the drink itself looks every bit a delicate golden jewel, fizzing as it does in the crystal flute that contains it.
"A drink!" he goes in for a toast. "To good fortune!" he says, loud and clear and warm to the small crowd gathered around your corner of the gala. They echo his words with their own cheer, the finery they wear every bit as well cut and fitted. Teir fingers sparkle and glitter with jewels, and he smiles at them from behind his proud mustache, but as he raises his flute to his lips, he mutters beneath his breath. "And all the sorry sods who she grinds up to give it to us," he takes a deep drink.
