CHARACTER
Character Name: Firo Prochainezo
Character Age: 22 (physically 18 due to the elixir of immortality)
Canon: Baccano!
Canon Point: The end of 1934: Alice in Jails – Prison Episode, after stealing Huey’s eye (note: anime & novel canon differ slightly where they overlap, and the novels extend beyond the end of the anime)
History: wiki
Personality: To strangers, Firo doesn’t appear more than a cocky kid, even to those who know he’s a camorrista. He’s a show-off, something apparent when he’s in a fight that he knows he can win; while squaring off against Dallas and his friends, he trash talks them and experiments with fighting moves simply because he can. He has something of a dark, snarky sense of humor and is terrible at hiding his emotions.
If his abrasive exterior isn’t too off-putting, he’s friendly enough to chat with anyone. “Aggressively social” may be a better term. He’s helpful in a nosy way; he’s landed himself in fights by butting in on others’ quarrels and sticking up for the underdog. This isn’t the usual way of doing things in the criminal underworld, where sticking your neck out is often fatal.
This doesn’t mean he’s nice—Firo has no problem being rude and blunt. If someone annoys him, he’ll tell them. Even if he has no quarrel with someone, he won’t lie to spare their feelings. When a dying woman asks him if she could go to heaven, Firo simply tells her that there is no afterlife. His certainty in beliefs like this shows his arrogance, and Firo is very stubborn about the things he thinks he knows.
Not that he knows much; Firo believes that he doesn’t need much brains. He even tells a woman he was recently fighting to trust him because he’s too stupid to betray her. He’s brash and reckless and not inclined to think before he acts. Once, he receives a ransom note about a kidnapped friend and runs to look for her with no plan or direction. Others see that the note was obviously written by another friend playing a joke.
Despite his willing admission of ignorance, he’s sensitive to other insults. He’s easy to anger, frequently reacting violently—he’s broken a man’s fingers for calling him “babyfaced.” Fighting is a regular thing for him, so his friends aren’t surprised when he shows up battered and bloody. He doesn’t think twice about arguing with an annoying cop. At a particularly offensive remark—an accusation that he slept his way up the ranks—Firo’s about to “scare” the man with his knife before he’s stopped. He hates comments on his appearance and reads concerns about his wellbeing as insults. Derogatory remarks about his Family or friends are enough to make him consider taking people out.
Firo takes himself seriously. He has to—he survived alone in a world that feasts on weakness, so appearing strong and grown up is very important to him. When the Martillo leaders play with dominoes, Firo complains that other gangs may mock them. This despite the fact that Firo’s childish himself—he’s overcome with happiness and amazement at things like a nice hat or a large pumpkin, and his sulkiness and lack of self-control are hardly mature. Not to mention the fact that he looks like a kid. His tendency to fight through problems and insults is due partially to his insecurity over his age and looks. At the end of the day, he’s a gangster who has few qualms about violence or crimes. He’s cynical, too. His friend in prison notes that Firo’s always wary, as if he expects someone to try to kill him at any moment.
Part of the tough guy act is ignoring his emotional problems. Though inheriting Szilard’s memories horrifies him, he hides this for years; a friend and superior has to drag it out of him. When his friend Berga asks if an incident in Firo’s past is why he’s shy about romance, Firo feigns ignorance. Berga flat-out describes it—Firo being kidnapped as a child—and Firo still tries to pretend it’s nothing. This despite how dramatically it affects his relationships—he’s terrified of getting close to a woman for fear of hurting her and thinks men who touch women are garbage. After years of cohabitation, he still hasn’t held Ennis’s hand. Before Ennis, he never learned how to talk to a girl and still doesn’t know.
For all his problems with emotions, his friend Luck describes Firo as empathetic with his friends, willing to share their joys and pains and take blows for them. For Ennis, he cooperates with the feds in prison, something very distasteful to him. He’s unhesitatingly generous. When a new “friend” (who Firo finds sketchy) hints that he doesn’t have a place to stay, Firo invites him home. He acquires his current roommates, Ennis and Czes, in a similar fashion. Though at the time he barely knows them, he doesn’t think twice about taking them in.
He’ll do this for a stranger, but his friends see his kindness much more. Though he retains many of his surface mannerisms—sarcasm, sensitivity—and fancies himself above their silliness, his friends see a gentler Firo. Beneath the fisticuffs and anger, he’s nurturing too. Bringing Ennis home after Szilard’s demise, he immediately cooks for her. Simply “loyal” doesn’t cut it when it comes to Firo. He’s absolutely devoted to his friends and Family.
The Martillo Family, Firo’s bosses in the camorra and the people who took him in off the street, receive the most extreme devotion—both his loyalty and total obedience. They gave him his place to belong and be happy, something he values more than anything. Ordinarily an independent who’ll scoff at people bossing him around, Firo’s almost obsequious with them. They can silence any protest from him with a look or order, and he’ll comply as if he has no choice. Firo says without hesitation that they own every bit of him, even his life. He’ll throw away his meager morals—don’t take hostages or hurt women and children—for them. The good of the Martillo Family is his ultimate motivation. Close after that is the safety and happiness of his friends.
Inventory: A small knife given to him by the Alcatraz guard, Huey’s immortal eyeball, his prison jumpsuit
Abilities: Firo’s immortal. Any wounds, mortal or otherwise, he receives “rewind” in seconds to a couple minutes. He doesn’t age. He can also “eat” other immortals by placing his right hand on their head and thinking “I want to eat.” He can be devoured in this same way. After eating Szilard, Firo gained all the man’s knowledge on alchemy and other sciences, as well as the knowledge of the 20 or so people Szilard ate. However, he tries to avoid looking at that information.
Firo’s been trained to fight both with a knife and with his hands, formally and on the street. He’s been stealing to support himself since childhood, and, aside from when he was caught by Yaguruma, shows himself to be a very skilled pickpocket. Related to his thievery, Firo’s also well-attuned to detecting such things from others. He’s spent his years with the Martillos catching cheaters in the casinos with his sharp eyes and is said to have a wide field of vision as well.
Gambling is also one of his major skills; he’s been working in the Martillo casino since he was taken in by them and knows the rules to a wide variety of games. He’s also pretty experienced in monitoring the flow of play, knowing when and how to bet, and, of course, when and how to cheat.
Flaws: It doesn’t take much to make Firo lash out; he’s impulsive, and one of the biggest things that drives him to make trouble is his temper. He’s easily provoked by cheating in his casino, comments on his appearance, words or actions he takes as a challenge, and any mockery of his friends. Normally he prefers to steer away from killing people, but landing them in the hospital or leaving them unconscious on the pavement is a-okay in his book. He’s also just not a very nice person in general and is often rude and judgmental.
Furthermore, Firo’s a criminal; he’s never had an honest job in his life. He’s been pickpocketing to support himself since he was a child, and he only stopped that to advance to being a gangster. He now manages an illegal casino and does whatever else his bosses order. Firo knows he’s not a good person, but he has few regrets and doesn’t consider changing his ways. His activities range from purchasing and drinking illegal alcohol during Prohibition to stealing from a defenseless old man to killing Szilard by “devouring” him. It’s entirely possible that he’s killed before for the Martillos, as he makes no secret that he’s willing to do it if it’s for them.
Because of this lifestyle, he can be rather cynical and slow to trust. Firo tends to assume that most people are just as bloodthirsty and backstabbing as the criminals he spends most of his time with.
