Adriano Landucci

Adriano Landucci was an intelligent young man who had been searching for Humbaba, the lost dragon of Mesopotamia, in direct competition with his older brother, Salvatore Landucci.

Biography
Competing with his brother, Adriano went looking for Humbaba, solving the riddles but ended up getting trapped in the underground tunnel. He was eventually discovered by Leonardo da Vinci who had also solved the clues and found the dragon. However, Leo was double crossed by Salvatore and he and Adriano were left trapped. When Salavatore returned, tricked into thinking there was another dragon, Chim-hoho, Adriano attacked him and the two brawled. Later, the two brothers, bloodied and beaten, were still arguing over who should go up the rope first, cementing the belief that the dragon really was cursed. (Dragon Hunt)

Personality
Adriano was a highly intelligent inventor and had been smart enough to solve the riddles and find Humbaba. There was something quite neanderthallic about the way he fought with a large bone and survived on catching and eating insects. However he was also extremely arrogant and kept calling himself a genius. Like his brother, Salvatore, Adriano was too fixated on their feud with one another to realise what was really important. For a smart man, Adriano was also quite violet and acted like a depraved savage, attacking people by instinct.
