Mario Allegra

Mariano Nathaniel Cornelius Allegra, generally addressed as “Mario”, is the cook for the O’Maher family and a part time Duelist. On his days off from serving the O’Mahers, he works in the cafeteria of the Beachball Corporation’s Port Evergreen Offices. Fiercely proud of his Italian-American Heritage and equally devoted to those he holds dear in his heart, Mario is constantly caught up in the drama wars initiated by Schuyler O'Maher and his Maidens. Due to a curse placed on him by Griselda Shadowsong, characters are only able to say his name “Mario” in a odd sing song manner.

Appearance
Mario is a clean cut young man with very short dark brown hair that he keeps well maintained. While working, he generally wears polo shirts, khaki pants, a white apron and a white beret which is later replaced with his Nanogarb. Off duty, he wears House Truman t-shirts, shorts, and either sneakers or brown leather designer flip flops.

In Duelball competition, he wears House Truman joggers with pro-wrestling style kneepads and basketball shoes

Personality
Mario has a happy and jovial attitude bordering on “not giving a fuck”. Some people find his behavior to be loud and obnoxious, while others find it endearing.

Mario is fluent in Italian, but commonly speaks English. His most commonly used Italian phrases are “Cagna per favore” (“Bitch please") and "Cagna che cosa" (Bitch what).

In spite of his carefree nature, Mario does not like being interrupted when he is cooking. In fact, when he is working in the kitchen, he leaves a sign saying “Entra e muori” (Enter and die) taped to the door. He has no problem being rude to his paymasters and telling them to “fucking wait” for their meals.
