Celso Andreotti dies, Andreotti family in mourning
April 1, 29480 [Global]

FJRK - In the late hours of the 31st March 29480, Celso Andreotti passed away at the age of 109. While today's generation may not remember Celso, he was responsible for bringing about a wave of terror in the early 29460's with a series of apartment robberies and street muggings.

Celso was later captured by the Sentinels in 29468 in his faction headquarters in Belial Forest. The headquarters, which was fairly unspectacular and disguised for some time as a botanical experimentation facility, had specialised in breeding one of the most rarest flowers on Rubi-Ka: The Lotus Blossom.

A year later during Celso's trial, this faction was dubbed "The Lotus Consortium" and has henceforth been referred to by that name. Celso was sentenced to life imprisonment in a Clan-operated detention facility, however was released at the age of 108 to spend what time he had left with his family.

His passing will mean that the Lotus Consortium is handed down to his children, Lucius and Lissa, both of whom have already spent some time in re-education after bombing their own school transport eight years ago. Their reason for the attack was that Principal Holley of Rome Blue Primary decided not to close the school when the heating broke.

While there may be no guarantee as to what his children may do with the faction, it would be a safe bet to codelock your windows and doors.
