About this title

Synopsis

In 1711, a group of alchemists seeking eternal life gathered on a boat to summon the "demon" that held the secret. The demon agreed to give them what they wanted—an elixir of life, the method to create more, and the secret to ending their new-found existence. The following night, alchemists began disappearing, "eaten" by one of their own. Realizing the threat being close together posed, they decided to scatter across the world. Centuries later, in Prohibition-era America, the immortals have come together once again, and the "stupid commotion" (baccano) starts.

Ladd Russo1590 fan favorites
External profile
Ladd is a sadistic hit-man for the Russo family. His love for acts of violence truly shows in the maniacal glee he exhibits while fighting or killing. He is exceptionally skilled in hand-to-hand combat—particularly boxing—and the use of firearms. He is most happy while killing people that think they will never die and by seeing dead people or hearing gunfights. Ladd is deeply in love with his fiancée, Lua, although he expresses it through a passionate promise to kill her someday.
Jacuzzi Splot787 fan favorites
External profile
A crybaby who is nonetheless capable of exceptional courage and leadership ability when the situation calls for it. At first, Jacuzzi seems almost cripplingly shy, even with a tendency to stutter in front of strangers. However, when his loved ones are in danger, he will summon the strength to face his problems directly, even though he'll continue to cry. After 8 members of his gang were killed, Jacuzzi robbed a record number of neighborhood stores, clutching a machine gun as tears stream down his face. Jacuzzi went out and received his "sword tattoo" on his face when Nice, his romantic partner, was injured in an explosives accident, so that they would both be similarly marked.
