Born into a wealthy family built upon the success of his great grandfather, Arturo Marinucci once lived a privileged life of luxury. Despite this a rigid work ethic was drilled into him at a young age by his father that had determined that if he and his siblings wanted to gain their inheritance, they would have to earn it. And earn it he almost did, until a betrayal left him imprisoned and cut off from his family's resources. All seemed lost until his great grandfather's old business partner paid him a visit and made him an offer.

Embraced into the Ventrue line of Lodin in the early 1980s, Arturo quickly built himself back up to the comfortable lifestyle he was more accustomed to. As the reclusive proprietor of a high end hotel called the Winslow, he does what he needs to in order appease his betters while pursuing his own goals. While it is uncommon for him to pursue such dealings face to face, his other primary form of income comes from his work with the Black Market, sourcing and selling illicit goods for people who will pay him handsomely to act as a middle man.
