Youngest child of the youngest child, Aria Troisi is the head of the Troisi Watcher Family - the only surviving member of Fidelio Troisi's line besides her Aunt Valeria and cousins Ava and Beatrice.

The only daughter of Niccolo Troisi she was raised from the day she was born to fulfil her destiny as the head of the Italian Dynasty. Her Father was her life as a child, and she his ... the father and daughter never spending more than a few hours away from each other in the first 12 years of her life. Spending their days in Niccolo's study, the elder Troisi taught his daughter everything she would need to take his place one day. Tactical theorem, the history of war, the history of their family, and the history of the Troisi's two hundred year feud with Bishop Andrasta and his family. Aria's days were spent pouring over books and archives of pictures ... he taught her how to be a master strategist, a diplomat, a warrior, and above all a leader.

When Aria was twelve things took the worst turn they could for the Troisi family. Their war with the Andrasta had been escalating steadily since Niccolo had taken over the family in the 1960's, but in the early 1980's, the Troisi went too far. Niccolo knew he would be the first killed when the Andrasta retaliated, he knew he could not save his family .... he could not save himself ... but he could save Aria. The young Troisi was taken from her home in Roma to a Franciscan Monastery in the hills near Naples and left in the care of the Holy Brothers. Before he left, Niccolo promised his daughter she would see him in a year.

Within the year, he, and almost every single other descendant of Domina Troisi was dead.
Slaughtered by the Andrasta in a massacre unparalleled in it's brutality.

Aria was raised from then on by the Watcher Brothers of the Monastery. She lost her femininity - the Brothers calling her by the masculine form of her name - and became a Brother in Christ within the order of St Francis. At 13 Ario took her orders and the brothers had an Angel tattooed across her belly to forever guard her virginity. She was trained day and night in religion and killing. Still a teenager, she became a killing machine. Killing for God and Council. The brother called her 'The Holy Avenger', and 'The Virgin Warrior'. She was trained to need no one and nothing but her own wits ... to trust her mind and hate her feminine body. To care for nothing but the kill and the cross and her orders from the Council. With her father dead there was nothing to make Aria care anymore, and she because a killer. Plain and simple.

At eighteen she left the Watchers. The inevitable happening - they had trained her too well, and Aria went AWOL. She got together with a young renegade named Lola Frers and together they brought together the new breed of Watchers lurking in the shadows of Europe ... the child/killers .... Wild children .... Saevus ....
The Italian and her friend took the band of misfits and created The Wild Ones.

For years they wreaked havoc on Europe ... pissing off vampire and Council alike as they grew in numbers. Aria was always the undisputed leader of the group, her father's teachings keeping her in charge of the wild, unpredictable pack of street kids and sociopaths. Eventually Aria tired of the Wild Ones, and so she left the group in Lola's care, hopped a plane to the Americas, and eventually found herself in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles was nothing but a city of heartbreak for Aria. She found her beloved protégé - Serenity Morgan - dead and sired by the same family that had done to Serenity's family what the Andrasta had done to Aria's. She found the Mother Troisi - Domina - dead and sired and mad as a hatter, her brother's disoriented and dangerous toy. She was followed by her baby sister - Portia - right into the middle of the Di Nerezza's war with the Andrasta ... and, perhaps, the most heartbreaking of all .........
Aria Troisi - the woman who needed no one ... the woman who loved no one ....
Fell in love.

He was Tanais Di Nerezza, the favourite adopted son of Canio Di Nerezza and the one who had lead her sweet Serenity to her death. Aria tried desperately not to fall, not to be weak, but there was a connection from the first second the two laid eyes on each other. They nearly killed each other on more than one occasion and kept coming back for more ... she hated him for what he had done to Ser, she was nearly killed by his children, but still they couldn't stay away and the Watcher who had been trained to hate her femininity and kill the undead, became not only Tanais' lover, but his blood mate.

But it didn't last.
Soon after his sister Thera was disowned for sleeping with a Watcher, and Tanais was forced to officially propose to protect them both from Canio's bitter new law, and their happiness was cut short by the outbreak of war with the Andrasta.

Aria's sister was taken captive by Bishop and Aria herself was killed - only to be brought back by Athena - her dear Lola was nearly killed by Bronic McNessa, and finally Aria couldn't take anymore. She gathered together her comrades and loved ones - deserting Tanais -  and went back to Italy. Battle weary, shell-shocked and ashamed, she fled for the Monastery and took refuge in her cell and her monks robes. She tried to forget Tanais and buried herself in her Monastic life again, but she had his blood in her veins, as his did hers, and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't.

After six months in the Monastery, Aria left. Portia was left in the Brothers' care, and she and Lola went back out into the world and took control over the Wild Ones again. Aria was not the same girl she had been before her trip to the Americas though .... she had hardened .... matured. The naive religious zeal that had been a part of the way she used to do things was gone, and Tanais' blood and bond had taken it's place. The Wild Ones took a darker turn in their dealings ... more reckless ... more violent ... more frightening. They have become true terrorists, with Aria Troisi at their head.

All along, she fought with herself over Tanais. Half of her wanted to go back to him ... the other tried to forget him. Sometimes he would come to her in dreams, sometimes she would write him letters only to end up burning them. When he was taken with the plague she tried to comfort him in his dreams through their bond, but in the end the plague took him just before the clans were to move to New York. Aria felt him when he died and dropped everything. She jumped the first plane to LA, but it was too late, Canio had already taken the family to the east coast, and Tanais' ashes with them.
 

Aria Troisi is a tall, olive skinned beauty of 26. The hair she shaved from her head when she left Tanais has now grown back and she wears it in a shaggy mop of black waves. She has dark brown and the 'Troisi colouring'. She has a total of 10 tattoos including her Angel, an eye on her shoulder, a cross at the small of her back, her Father's name, her sister's name, 'SAEVUS' (which means Wild in Latin), and the sacred heart on the inside of her right thigh that only she and Tanais had ever seen. She dresses harder than she used to, forever the walking weapon in her black leather, beat up fatigues and steel toed army boots. Her weapons are the same she always carried - her 15" Bowie knife fashioned for her by the Brothers and her Blades (two 10" retractable steel blades that she wears strapped to her arms by a body harness that she wears under her clothes), but since Los Angeles she has also started carrying guns - something she never used to do. She looks older than she used to, her features hardened by the War and the heard decisions she has had to make in the last year. Aria never wears makeup unless her mission calls for a 'costume', and the only pieces of jewellery on her body are the silver crucifix her father gave her as a baby, and the large, black onyx Engagement ring Tanais gave her.
