Lord Machiavelli — "The Mastermind" Lead Role

Machiavelli is the primary antagonist—an ancient mastermind hiding beneath Oblio, plotting to resurrect a world-ending Yokai by sacrificing a child. He wears a wolf mask that seems fused to his skin and Renaissance Italian nobleman attire. He is cold, calculating, and convinced his monstrous plan is necessary to save Oblio.

Voice Requirements: Male voice (age 40-60). Cold, calculating, smooth, with hidden menace. Should sound reasonable while planning atrocity. Voice must be compelling and dangerous.

1. "Do you three not trust me and my judgment? My decision to pursue this grand and noble endeavor?"

2. "Who do you think gave Oblio her name? It was Intenzione Rossi, of course. The first of our line."

3. "You may believe that I am doing this for the greater good of the Rossi Clan. But that is not the only reason. I am doing this for the good of Oblio."

4. "Five point two petacondensates. Even in its husk state, Biollantis has a Qi reserve of 5.2 PC. More than enough to destroy this city."

5. "Little Lilliana is a perfect candidate. She is seventy-one percent compatible with the Biollantis cells. Convincing her to become stronger—to become part of the husk—will not be difficult."
