Being a collection of characters from New Europa,
as collected by
Davide Mana, Esq.
The Gratan
Crew
Two guys in white and a red-haired girl with a penchant for yellow dresses and weird uniforms, riding in a small technological jewel, the Gratan Crew (a.k.a. the Grandis Trio) are best described as a perfectly efficient, self-contained, devastating pocket army unleashed on the otherwise tranquil cities and fields of New Europa.
Known activities include jewel heist, kidnapping, blackmail, mass destruction of private propriety, continued and aggravated violation of road, navigation and air security regulations.
The perfect ally.
Grandis
Granva
Red haired and fiery-tempered daughter of an Italian (or, according some other sources, Spanish) nobleman. Selfish, spoiled, aggressive, and more egocentric than a gyroscope. Left behind a life of luxury and turned to globetrotting, jewelry collecting and general adventuring after an ill-fated love story (the guy ran away...). Absolute leader and tactical mind of the Gratan Crew.
Ruthless as an enemy, unreliable as a friend.

Cool, calm and collected, with an eye for the ladies and a long memory, can turn into a dangerous psicopath under pressure and has the strenght to really mean business.

Professor Friedrich Aloysius Von Trapp
Former head of the Chemistry Department at Konigsberg University, disgraced and expelled after an accident killed twelve students and two assistants during a maverick "high explosives experiment". After the expulsion, he put the rector's house to fire and turned to a life of mindless crime, random terrorism and world domination ravings.
Fiendish Plots (R) include kidnapping all the participants to the Chrystal Palace International Science and Technology Exibition, using a stolen airship to bomb Castle Falkenstein (or Paris), and pouring mind-control drugs in the springs alimenting an Austrian spa resort.
Suffers from a strange persecution mania, and is obsessively paranoid towards a "Mr. Bond" of the British Diplomatic Service, most probably just a figment of his insane mind.
