Theodore Torrento

Overview
Theodore “Tasteless Ted” Torrento [played by IGN: Tobzehn] is an engineer, constructor, tradesman and an operative in the criminal underworld of Rathnir. Torrento has established several businesses such as pubs, a brewery, as well as his private, single-man construction office. Although generally considered legitimate, Torrento’s businesses are speculated to have a secondary purpose in covering criminal activities in Rathnir. He is often regarded to have participated in numerous illegal enterprises and is deemed to have connections with The Rathnir Mafia, more specifically the infamous DiFornaio crime family.

Early Life and career foundation
Born and raised in the farmlands of the Simulami Empire, Torrento decided to follow in his father's footsteps, becoming a construction worker. Growing up Theodore took part in mostly legitimate work including building, harvesting crops, brewing and fishing. Eventually, when reaching adulthood, Torrento established his own construction office and soon found himself constructing housing in the countryside. His engineering skills and visions didn’t go unnoticed by the leadership of Nuvallen, the capital of Simulami. Torrento was given housing projects aimed at giving newcomers a stable place to live within the empire. Although a slow one-man firm, Torrento’s constructor business managed to build affordable, yet high-quality housing, most of which are still located on the South-East side of the capital Nuvallen. As for himself, Torrento lives in the South-East side of Nuvallen in his personal residence. To this day, Torrento's construction office has ongoing housing projects in Nuvallen, the capital of the Simulami Empire.

Businesses and establishments
Torrento’s legal establishments include businesses such as a brewery, pubs, a bakery, various farms, as well as a construction office. These businesses are situated mainly in the capital Nuvallen and the small town of Kurutva, both located in the Simulami Empire. Businesses such as Pub Pegasus and Torrento Bakery are both established by Theodore himself. Even though somewhat successful, other revenue generators haven't been as successful: with the 1.18 update, Torrento's deepslate refinery in Kurutva went bankrupt as the demand dropped significantly. Although little is known about Torrento’s life beyond his legitimate businesses, he is rumored to have shady establishments behind the curtains. His rumored illegal enterprises include a money laundering business, a Simulami’s law-wise debatable underground brewery with additional illegitimate substances being produced, as well as other black-market side hustles.

Low-profile criminal life
With the crime rates of the Simulami Empire having remained low throughout its history, Torrento has had no hard time setting up his underground organizations as no competition exists. Combined with The Simulami Empire's lengthy peacetime and little to no participation in wars within its own territory, the political climate has made it favorable to engage in various shady businesses. Torrento's a low-profile stance, solo operational businesses and minimal connections to any downright criminal group make it hard to determine and track his fields of criminal work. One of the few known connections to other similar operators within the criminal scheme of Rathnir is with the DiFornaio Crime Family. On an individual level, Torrento is known to have participated in racketeering, multiple mischiefs, assaults as well as banditry and stealing. Bribery has also been on the list of speculations, albeit no bribes have been confirmed. Additionally, various minor thefts have been tracked down to Torrento, though he has avoided all lawsuits thus far.
