Sorry kid, I'm a little busy, have a seat and some wine. I’ll try to wrap up my work and be with you in a minute.
Gavroska is the Consigliere of the Venezian mafiosa, the Venezia-Futuris. He is a Drakonian Demon from Russia, who lived a chaotic and rebellious life when he was younger. His travel and his experience had gained the attention of Crow who occasionally paid for his information and knowledge as an associate. When the bombs dropped, Gavroska realised that though others had lost families, loved ones, even homes, he had nothing to lose and no one to miss him.
He finally accepted Crow's offer to help as a Consigliere for the Mafiosa and became part of the family. He’s a wise and old man, who has a wealth of life experience and skills that he puts to work to help the Mafiosa run, and guiding those within it.
Works himself to the bone and is constantly tired and seems to always be awake, surrounded by paperwork and wine bottles.

- Poses are often ones with him working, he gets very little free time for himself. When he relaxes, he does so with as much quiet as he can manage in a busy mafia household, a glass of wine, his cigars, a comfortable chair and some silence. Other poses can include working on, or riding, his bike.

Torn apart by human folly and destruction, we rebuild and we survive and continue to thrive.
An alternative reality of Earth where bombs fell during WWII and destroyed the majority of life and left incredible scars. Leaders from each country placed defenses to protect their capital cities and in place of what society used to be sits mafias, gangs and clans who rule in what is left. These leading households are primarily fantastical beasts and gods, and are often at war with each other for resources and land.
The Venezia-Futuris are seated within the Water City, Venice, where there is no longer water, and the entire city is kept afloat and protected with magic. The Mafiosa's home is a reformatted St Marks and its boss is Crow Venezia-Futuris. Nature has begun to overrun the world, and technological growth has halted, with magic replacing it for the most part. Many lost souls come to the Venezia due to their philosophy of building family through choices, rather than blood.

Bella, I have another routine for you to try out. How about we get some time together so you can practice, love?
Adrien works with Bella quite closely, practicing dance routines and creating music that will match her performance style. Though he is slightly over familiar with her and will sometimes receive threats in return. They've developed a teasing, playful relationship. Adrien likes getting her to come out of her shell and is trying to help her find comfort in other people's presence.
He also enjoys buying her new outfits, often dragging her out with him. Adrien has let Bella see into his mind so she has a good grasp over his feelings and how he struggles with himself and his upbringing. She shows signs of frustration at him hiding his struggles, but doesn’t bring it up. They very rarely discuss their pasts, he finds comfort in knowing she understands a similar upbringing and they fill their time with not thinking about their struggles.

Current
Adrien found his way to the Limbo Freak Show by chance. They were performing in town, to offer solace to the people during a hard economic hit. When he saw their show he saw a chance to escape from the life he'd been caged to. They saw his interest and saw something in him that was seeking freedom. He agreed to join them and travel to help bring light to other people.
He became their musician and choreographer. The Show has given him a sense of family and he's coming out of his shell a lot, finding comfort in their company.
History
Adrien was born to two musical geniuses. Isabella and Mateo Giovanni de Luca. The atmosphere he grew up in was suffocating and very strict. His oldest sister, Maria, grew to be cruel and unpleasant as well. Both Adrien and his younger sister, Ani, were struggling under their parents. Neither wanting to be constricted to their parent's plan for them. Even from a young age, Adrien has been very talented with instruments and music. The pressure of his parents made him avoid his responsibilities as much as possible in order to push back about it.
Becoming a little jaded and neglecting himself and his emotions, he tried to protect his sister as much as possible. When his father died, his mother grew even more controlling. Likely to help bring some more control into her life, that she believed she'd lost. When he realised she was going to lock him into a life he didn't want, he left home with no word to his mother or sister, only giving Ani a way to contact him.
Important events
Leaving home
Around the age of twenty, he finally managed to pull out from under his controlling mother. Not long after his father died and her treatment and personality worsened. This event helped him escape an abusive situation, and opened up his life for freedom and a chance to be comfortable in himself again.
Joining the show
Met and joined the freak show very soon after leaving home. Working a dead-end, boring job just to survive, he went to see them perform in the nearby town and was brought in by day/night, who saw a great deal of musical talent in him (As well as a lot of pain).
Reconnecting with his sister
A few years after having joined the freak show, he received word from his sister, Ani, that she was free from their parents and searching for her own direction in life. This event took a great deal of weight off his shoulders. Adrien is highly proud of his sister, and writes to her as much as he can.
