Biography[]
Little is known about Lipori, except for the fact he was locked up in the Albuzano Institute for the Criminally Insane and escaped at some point. Travelling to a different part of Italy, he lived under the alias Bartello and helped manage a bookstore. However, he couldn't control his urges, especially with a pretty girl working in his store. When he overheard one of his regular customers, Oliviero Rouvigny, arranging a date with the girl, he saw an opportunity. He followed the girl to the meeting spot and used a billhook to slash her throat.
When the murder was reported, it was believed by the police that there would be more. Oliviero himself was a huge suspect, and it didn't help when their maid was slashed with a billhook. However, later, it's revealed that the maid's murder wasn't Bartello's doing, and was the work of Oliviero's wife, Irina Rouvigny, who wanted to drive her husband crazy.
A couple nights later, after the maid's death, Bartello broke into the house of a hooker and killed her, too. However, one of the hooker's friends surprised him from behind, hitting him with something that impaled him in the neck, causing him to bleed out.
