Graven Scourge
Pesto Manticore
"Canon clarification: Pesto Manticore and the Graven Scourge exploit the coming Castro chaos while protecting their own territory and assets rather than broadly defending Gravenhurst."
Pesto Manticore is an infernal lieutenant of the Graven Scourge and the logistical mind behind Gravenhurst’s Boost distribution network. Raised in the legal shadow of his father, Pedro Manticore, he inherited the family gift for contracts, loopholes, and saying exactly enough to trap someone later. Rather than pursue the courtroom, Pesto turned negotiation into cartel architecture, building laundering fronts, alias chains, and trafficking routes with meticulous care. Lawful Evil and unflappable, he brings order to crime without softening it. In the Scourge, Violince may open doors, but Pesto makes sure every door has paperwork.
