Summary:

Some of the most important mile stones of Rook and Lucanis relationships happened at Café Pietra so it is just natural that the nicest café in Treviso became their spot. Five times the two tired baristas of Café Pietra watched the blooming relationship between Rook de Riva and Lucanis Dellamorte.

I'm in my fifth playthrough of Veilguard right now and as usual I started to notice some things I didn't earlier like that you can see angry titan Harding not just running through the hallway and before that when Harding or another companion mentions that they are feeling watched but also when you return to Stalgard ( if you look up and to the right she is standing red and glowing left of two pillars on a balcony)

And you what's even more spooky?

If you look at her and wait for a while you can hear her

Let me introduce

Gianni de Riva

After having fought with this template for like forever I finally put together some information about my Rook!

Gianni is an Antivan Crow of House de Riva, but just because I can, I combined my two favorite origins and made him the nevarran crypt-baby too. An expedition with his guardian, a watcher named Ingellvar, led him outside the necropolis, where they fell victim to slavers. Six year old Baby-Rook was tossed from board by Ingellvar near the coast of Antiva, where he survived as a thief in the streets of Mareda.

Approximately a year later he crashes one of Viagos contracts (who is around seventeen years old at that time), but the crow sees potential and takes him back to Salle. Gianni becomes a crow and Viagos closest confidant, acting as a thief of goods and information alike.

Where Gianni goes, Chaos follows. Literally, because similar as Mythals memories living on in Morrigan, a small fragment of Chaos has latched onto Gianni since he was abandoned in an empty crypt as a toddler, becoming the source of both of his best and worst ideas.

Gianni becomes Rook after being exiled from Antiva due his attack on the Antaam in Treviso and his relationship with Viago gets cracks. To make matters worse, sharing headspace with Chaos and Solas has consequences and Rook loses his memories after the interrupted ritual. Now the infamous ghost crow has to stop two blighted elven gods to save the world from ending in demons and fire while simultanously trying to redefine his place in the world.

You can read more about Gianni, his life as a crow and his struggle as Rook in my upcoming fanfiction, which I will link here, as soon as it's published!

Additional information:

Rook romances Lucanis Dellamorte

Rook is trans-masc

He prefers to fight with orb and dagger, because carrying a staff while thieving is inconvinient

He can swim, but is deathly afraid of anything deeper than a puddle, since he fled the slavers ship by swimming to shore at age six

His hate for magnolias is rooted in his past with a brothel called House of Petals

Wisps and spirits are drawn to Rook, because he grew up with them in the necropolis

Though he mostly casts lightning, he also can summon nightmarish visions and would be able to raise spirits, if he trained more. He does not possess the abilities Emmrich has and cannot talk to corpses

Because of Chaos, Giannis eyes are faintly glimming in the dark

After a failed contract, invoving poison and a curse, Gianni suffers a chronic illness, he has to battle with daily intake of medicine. If he doesn't, chances are high that the curse mark will act up again, making it hard to breath for him, possibly resulting in death by choking. Viago makes the medicine himself. Cold triggers it to act up.

The curse mark left scars looking like lightning branching upwards at the sides of his neck.

Gianni shares Viagos affinity for puns and names his own poisons in the same fashion.

Gianni is unpredictable. While others simply chose to play against the rules, Gianni is playing an entire different game.

I recently heard of the theory that in Thedas "across the sea" might not mean on the other side of the ocean but on the other side of the veil instead and now as I am replaying Veilguard I noticed a few things:

Karash mentions different coloured clouds. Red for a storm, grey for rain, black for antaam canons and green for the devouring storm. The last time we saw green clouds were when the breach opened, which was a hole reaching into the fade.

Bellara mentions a veil bubble where one can enter but not leave. This reminds me of how sailers from across the sea can travel to Thedas (and back) but no one else from Thedas could ever follow. They either returned the to place they started or they just vanished, the ships being found broken later.

There is a theory that Vorgoth is a executer and those are said to be from across the sea. If all executers are shadowy cloaked something-but-not-quite-spirits, than it would make sense that they are from some place beyond the veil. (we know there are weirder things dwelling in the fade than our typical spirit or demon. I am thinking of the forbidden ones for example or Cekorax (boy I am having nightmares of this thing...) or even Anaris and worse, whatever he is afraid of in the fade)

I don't know where to go with these but I thought I write these down before I forget it

I know the moment when Rook meets Solas again in Minrathous after escaping the fade prison is a very emotional and serious moment but honestly everything I saw in my head was my little crow going at him like

"My name is Rook de Riva. You killed my father friend. Prepare to die!"

Dramatic antivan shit, you know?
