"Doesn't mince words, which I respect. Dodgy as fuck, which is always fun, but I looked into it, and she keeps getting caught, so I'll be giving that a healthy berth. Still, always good to know where the guns are - and I mean that, of course, in the most figurative possible way." - Sash

24601 was born Emilia Costanza in the town of San Lupo, Benevento in the Campania region of Italy. Unlike many 'old' families of the area, Emilia was an only child and was somewhat spoilt in her formative years by her adoring aunts, uncles and grandparents. It was not exactly an idyllic life as Emilia's parents often struggled to put food on the table, but to the young girl it was perfect.
What she didn't know and was too young to understand at the time was that the area, though popular with tourists, had a dark underbelly and only a few weeks after celebrating her First Holy Communion at the tender age of seven, Emilia saw that underbelly for the first time. Her maternal grandparents were gunned down in front of her by hitmen working for the Camorra, a particularly nasty and ruthless criminal syndicate.
Why Emilia was spared despite being an obvious witness was anyone's guess, but the family was not staying long enough to find out. With the help of a distantly-related cousin living in a neighbouring village, Emilia, her parents and her paternal grandparents made their way to Naples, where they caught the train to Rome and began the long, frustrating process of applying for permission to live in Australia.
It wasn't until Emilia was in her teens that her parents explained what had happened and it was then that she first learned of the concept of Vendetta. The Camorra are dangerous, her mother warned her, and one does not trifle with them. At the same time, one can't afford not to get mixed up in their dealings. Emilia's parents had made a terrible error of judgement which had angered Patriarch of the local Camorra family. Emilia listened in horror as her parents told her that the murder of her grandparents was the Camorra's payback for her parents' transgression, and that the reason they had to flee was because the Camorra would not stop there.
"They don't come after you first. They come after what is closest to you. They punish you by taking away everything you care about and then and only then will they finally kill you."
The change in Emilia's demeanor and personality was almost overnight. She no longer cared for school and would start fights and arguments with classmates at the slightest provocation. By the end of Year 10, her school record contained multiple suspensions and even an exclusion. Her parents were dismayed when, at the age of 16, they were called to the Police Station and told she had been arrested for shoplifting. And then, halfway through Year 11 and in defiance of her parents' very vocal protests, Emilia just stopped going to school. When a neighbour offered her 'a bit of extra pocket money' for 'some odd jobs' she jumped at the chance, not realising until much later that he was tied to an Adelaide-based Camorra family.
The neighbour in question was a ruthless Soldier with an impressive collection of firearms, and Emilia found herself fascinated by them. Eventually she raised the courage to ask him to train her in their use, and he agreed in exchange for more 'odd jobs', delivering packages on his behalf to other members of the family.
When she turned 21, Emilia took Omerta as a Soldier of that same family and started using the alias Giuseppina Isabella Aranti. Deep within her heart she still to this day holds a burning hatred for those responsible for the brutal deaths of her grandparents, and has sworn a Vendetta against them. Thankfully (or regrettably) she is yet to muster the funds to travel back to Italy to fulfil this Vendetta. In part because of this, her temper, always close to the surface anyway, becomes particularly unpredictable when those she cares about are slighted or under threat.
Though she has used the Shadow Name 24601 since she Awakened, she has never actually answered the lingering question of why she chose it, though the biting of her cheek every time someone throws a Les Miserables joke at her might be indicative that she regrets it.
