Alberto de Mara

Alberto de Mara - Priest of the Roman Church during the years of 675 A.D. – 699 A.D., Alberto was a rather unknown priest figure for his time.

Life
Alberto often spent time in his study outside of the Church interested in classic literature from Greece and applying philosophy and concepts from that era in his own interpretation of the Word of God. It wasn’t until 690 where rumors of his studies involve witchcraft and pagan rituals as reported through fear and escapism, where his name began to get the attention of the Church and Pope Sergius I. On December 30th, 699 was the day Alberto de Mara was sent to be beheaded under orders by the Church, only the last seconds of his life did he say his final message to Cristoforo Iacoveillo, the executioner who beheaded him.

Aftermath
The beheading of Alberto de Mara is often credited to be the very beginning of the Iacoveillo Family, even though the family name was already a line of executioners during the era. This was the start of the monster hunting business, as Critoforo Iacoveillo traveled as a vagabond for the rest of the years. It wasn't till after five generations that the Iacoveillo Family was formed as a personal organization.

Quirky Traits and Rumors
Alberto was notorious for wearing a tight cap that covered a large amount of his forehead and ears obsessively, even in his sleep, even though he seemed uncomfortable with it on. This also raised suspicion of witchcraft as rumors circulated that he made a pact with the Devil and was cursed with a diseased head. It was also said that he allowed peasant virgins in his bed for ritualistic endeavors.
