Headmaster Dio

Headmaster Dio - head of the Grand Elders of the Iacoveillo Family.

History
Dio was once an a "great" alchemist who deeply loved the craft, and wrote a manuscript that became known as the "Voynich manuscript" by the World, something he says mapped out his extensive plans for world reform and domination.

But because alchemy never worked, his plans for world reform and domination did not go through, so he settled as a peaceful doctor who made elixirs and potions for townspeople. It was that part of his lifetime where he met Linda Iacoveillo, and was wedded to her for three years till she died. His name was legally changed to Dio Iacoveillo, and he became an active member of the family.

The Grand Elders of the Iacoveillo Family at the time were dying off, and replacements were soon to be initiated into the powerful group. It was then Dio knew the next step to his ascension of power. Dio proved himself for years on then, being a positive figure to the children at the private schools of the Iacoveillo Family, and introduced new and interesting discussions to the elders and adult men in the lobbies. Dio became well liked, especially by Headmaster Deus who was sickly on his bed for the rest of his days. Deus saw Dio and thought of the many children he's had when he looked at him, as Deus' children have passed on and weren't here to be with him anymore. By his dying word, Deus dubbed Dio the new Headmaster of the Grand Elders.

Ever since his time as Headmaster, Dio has spent a series of generations personally raising a few adopted children of his own.

Dio's mystery
While Dio is a very kind and gentle character, a lot of criticism amongst the family over the years stems from his mysterious demeanor and the fact that he is not a human. Dio is truly a Shadow Longaevi, and his red clothing and wraps blatantly express his culture as one. Despite this, Dio holds no secrets back from people, but remains quite on his personal business for the majority of the time.

There is also a mystery on his decisions of personally picking out orphaned family members to raise as his own "elite" children.

Another off thing that is often brought up amongst the family is that he carries a copy of the Voynich manuscript around at all times reading it over and over again in a language only he understands. Even though his studies of alchemy were purely in vein, he still seems to have a never ending obsession with the subject, even sometimes scribbling notes in the manuscript.
