Mr. Roberto Volatili was one of the wealthiest and most successful lawyers St. Canard has ever seen. His array of clients ranged from, simple-minded Eggmen, to the insane Megavolt and the ordinary, everyday citizen. The job brought money, and with it, power.
At the age of 70, the white-feathered rooster didn't look a day over 50. His cheek feathers had only begun to turn silvery-grey at the tips, and his body was as solid as it was when he was forty. In a picture of good health, he had made a promise to keep working until the day he would die.
He had moved to St. Canard in 1995 and remarried Amelia Volatili. By chance, the two had met up with one another in a French café in the downtown core of the city. Their previous marriage had been ruined by the birth of their third son, Valentino, who later became known as the infamous F.O.W.L agent, Steelbeak. Once he came out of the picture, Amelia forgot about this wretched being and was determined to lead a normal life.
A dignified, gentlemanly appearance hid Roberto's inner bitterness. Ten years ago, he had found out that his son, the worthless little creature whom he spat on at birth, was still alive. Worst still was the death of one of his older sons, Antonio. Although the death was accidental, Roberto placed the blame on the same individual that Amelia did - - Valentino.
Son of a High Commander and spy of F.O.W.L, Javert J. Adair was out for revenge. He had been jailed for the attempted murder of Steelbeak and was eventually fired. The white mallard with the distinctive black patch over his right eye was driven to near insanity over this, and plotting went underway to rid himself of the constant thorn in his side.
After hearing of his father's whereabouts and the release of Javert, Steelbeak himself was beginning to slip into a realm of revenge and insanity -- a deadly combination. This rooster had unfinished business to attend to.
