Valerio was the most accomplished engineer in Florence, his work known all over Italy. He was recruited by the Luminari to build the Mechanical Man from Leonardo's Note Book.
Biography[]
Valerio was brought before the Luminari and, with little persuasion, accepted the task of creating the Mechanical Man. He assured Piero that he could do it, although some days later, he returned telling them that it was impossible and simply a childish fantasy. Not one to be put off, Piero tells him anything is possible, and throws some more money at him. (A Wing and a Prayer)
Valerio has a breakthrough with the mechanical man which makes Piero change his mind about killing the Duke. (Angels and Cherubs)
Valerio attended the celebrity party at the Medici palace. (Servant of Florence)
Valerio comes to Niccolo Machiavelli for help, saying Piero wants to kill him and that he needs to flee. In actually fact he is helping Piero de' Medici trick Leo, Tomaso and Machiavelli into publicly accusing Piero of trying to kill the Duke of Florence. Valerio then installs the Fireball that Leo designed into the Mechanical Man suit. (Fireball)
Personality[]
Valerio is very self assured and confident in his ability to create anything... for the right price. Leonardo's sketches of the Mechanical Man, however, stump him. He is also very devious as seen when he double crossed Mac, pretending to be in fear for his life when in actuality working with Piero to trick Leonardo.
