Alberto Menardi

Alberto Menardi is a priest within the Vatican and a secret agent of the Dragon Court.

Bio
He was a lanky silver-haired man with a pocked complexion, thick lips, narrow eyes. He sat in the back of the plane, nursing a broken nose. She had a full dossier on him. His ties to a certain Sicilian criminal organization ran deep. It seemed even the Vatican could not keep such weeds from taking root in their soil. Then again, she could not discount the keen edge to the man’s mind. He had an IQ three points above Einstein. It had been Dr. Alberto Menardi who in 1990, had discerned from the Dragon Court’s library of Gnostic texts the ability of electromagnetism to unlock the energy of these superconducting metals. He had overseen the research project in Lausanne, Switzerland, and tested the effects on animal, vegetable, and mineral. And who would miss the occasional lone Swiss backpacker? These last experiments would turn the stomach of even the worst Nazi scientists. The man also had a disturbing fetish for young girls. But not for sex. For sport.

Map of Bones
He revealed himself to Vigor Verona at an attempt to shot him. However, this was not successful as a failed explosion in St Peter's Cathedral had distracted him, allowing Vigor to hit him and escape. During his trip to Avignon, he was excited to use the golden key to access the Minotaur's labyrinth. However, he had stepped on the glass floor, and was killed by a bolt of energy, completely overwhelming him.
