My past? Well, I started with grand designs! A program designed to study the psychology of human motivation, specifically pai. . . well, such things do not matter now. Believing that the knowledge I had compiled was too valuable to be deleted, I went to the Merovingian and so became an Exile. Thereafter, I lived a life of comfort and lusso, filled with days of nothing but the finest food and wine, beautiful music, and women of unparalleled beauty. Eh, I hear the Machines have an Italian woman working for them, an Agent of the System, no less! Well if she's anything like the Italian women I have known, then I shall have to . . . heh heh, well that is none of your business.
Ah, well, I suppose introduziones are in ordre, no? I am Montesquiou, Liason for the Merovingian, formerly of the Blackwood Prison Construct, most recently returned from my . . . retirement. And now, I am here to work with you, our human allies and compatriots, rabble-rousers and n'er-do-wells, assassins and spies. Those who know of me by reputation have no doubt heard of my penchant for trouble with our benefactor. But I assure you; my days of plotting for power and scheming for position are over. The past is behind us. After all, there must be some honor amongst thieves, no? I now live to serve.
And serve I will, for these are periodi pericolosi, to be sure! The Merovingian, he has his reasons for his alliance with the General. It will be up to us to make sure that the old war relic does not out-flank us and make the Boss look bad. The Merovingian should not worry, but be happy, to gaze upon his lovely wife, and from his palace drink in the finest this life has to offer!
I sense a great many of you have been lurking in the shadows, watching events unfold. Waiting for an opportunity. Bah! Causality is as much about cause as it is effect! And together, we will be causing things to happen. . . .
Eh, for now i miei amici, that little storia will have to do. I have much to attend to, for the Boss is very demanding, as you no doubt know; plans to formulate, people to manipulate, and bodies to ventilate. . .
Fino al nostro prossimo incontro,
