Further Information
- 1450 CE - Date of Embrace
Giangaleazzo was Embraced in the 1400s by a Lasombra monk, who admired his resourcefulness and willpower. Soon after his Embrace, Giangaleazzo prospered among the undead, reveling in his new state as one of the dark lords of the night.
His sire took him to the Convention of Thorns, where Diego was one of the few Lasombra who supported the Camarilla, thanks to an unpleasant encounter with a witch-hunter who had burned his face into a black ruin. After the formation of the Sabbat, Giangaleazzo played both sides cautiously against each other, trying to maintain his neutrality. After he betrayed his sire to the Sabbat, he was accepted into the sect and was crowned Archbishop of Milan, opening the city as a refuge for many European Sabbat who were on the run from the elders. For a time, Giangaleazzo believed in the Sabbat's creeds of freedom and warfare against the Antediluvians. Milan became a center for the Sabbat and many important sect meetings, like the one that formed the Code of Milan, were held in his domain. Alliances with the surrounding Camarilla and Giovanni domains, who did not want to challenge him, allowed Giangaleazzo to live his unlife in bloody debauchery.
In the 20th century, however, Giangaleazzo became disillusioned with the sect's simplicity and carnage, yearning for the Machiavellian complexities of his lifetime. After a secret exchange of messengers with the Inner Circle, Giangaleazzo invited all Sabbat Kindred into his mansion for a wild ritus. After unfolding the last original copy of the Code of Milan, he declared that Milan would answer to the Camarilla from now on. Igniting the document and throwing it down to the howling mob, Giangaleazzo left his mansion while it was locked up and set on fire, effectively destroying the whole Sabbat population of the city. An extended Blood Hunt through the city purged nearly all remaining branches of the sect's influence, leaving Giangaleazzo to start anew.
In 2016, seeing the IA beginning to grow and the strength of the Camarilla beginning to wane, he has again changed sides, leading numerous Lasombra to their new home in the IA.
