Giuseppe Geppetto

Giuseppe Geppetto is the inventor of the Puppets. He provides Geppetto's puppet with various upgrades and information on the different locations within Krat.

Background

Geppetto was a renowned engineer who invented Puppets, leading to a golden age for Krat. He became the leader of the Workshop Union and began to work with the Alchemists as well. He eventually met and married an Alchemist researcher named Camille, with the two of them having a son, Carlo.

For a time he and his family lived a happy life. He and Camille didn't have more children but Geppetto build a puppet named Rosarea to keep Carlo company. After Camille's death he left Carlo in the care of the Monad Charity House, as Geppetto believed that Carlo would be better off without him. Carlo would greatly resent him for this, and after Geppetto failed to come to Carlo's graduation they cut ties completely. Carlo would become a Stalker after graduation and lived with Antonia at Hotel Krat. Carlo's desired to reconnect with his father and Antonia wrote to Geppetto encouraging him to meet with his son. Geppetto would continue to remain distant and believed that paying for Carlo's lodging fees was sufficient. Carlo would eventually die from the Petrification Disease, leaving Geppetto devastated. He attempted to resurrect Carlo by transforming his corpse into a Puppet, though this would fail. He then created another Puppet and transferred Carlo's heart to it.

Story

Geppetto is found trapped in a carriage on Alchemist Bridge by the Mad Donkey. After Geppetto's puppet defeats the Mad Donkey, Geppetto warmly greets it and upgrades its Pulse Cell before telling it to defeat Scrapped Watchman in order to open up the path to Venigni Works.
