before "calavera" or "bloodlily", there was rosario de santos; son to an infamous crime boss and child to a professional thief. thievery and villainy run within the boy's veins. rosario comes from a long line of infamous capers. their crime history dating far back to before even his great grandfather's time. someday, rosario, too, would join them in the rankings. rosario comes, surprisingly, from a loving home. a family that was full of honesty, excitement, adventure, crime, and villainy. he wanted to be just like them both. from where they would succeed, he would take notes. from where they failed, he would learn from their mistakes. all rosario ever wanted out of life was to be like his parents, to be better even. as a santos it was in his bloodline to surpass history's best, to surpass his own father and mother.

aised in the kanto region. his father, leader of a crime syndicate, worked under rocket's protection in exchange for one another's business. rosario's mother was apprehended in order to protect her husband from serving jailtime after almost being caught. his mother was sentenced to life in prison, all to protect her husband who had been released from custody thanks to rocket's leader at the time.

ocket was no stranger to their home growing up. rosario remembered the business meetings his father attended, held, and spoke of. rosario remembered meeting DECLAN WALSH once as a boy. the admiration he held for the rocket boss was one similar to his father. he was ready to proudly work hard to ensure he'd be the most useful rocket among his men. he'd aim to become a fearful beast within rocket someday.

rosario attended school like any other kid. he was in gymnastics. a beloved student. but, while attending school, he led a double life. he became a professional thief during high school. he was taught young by his mother before her sentence. once she was out of the picture, he merrily accepted the tasks she no longer could in her stead. eventually, what he did temporarily became permanent for sometime. he enjoyed the life of a thief. evading the law, toying with them, and sometimes even challenging himself to new thefts. there would be times where, for fun, he stole from another thief only to return the stolen item back from whence it came.

osario's alias as "calavera" earned him a place among kanto's top most wanted. the skull-faced caper was constantly chased by an annoying league member throughout his time living in kanto. there were times they proved to be formidable, which made the chase all the more exciting. but, like the cheshire cat, he would evade their grasp.[break][break]

ocket would instruct rosario's father to give the boy a greater challenge. to put his mother's talents to use. that talent would be used to take out any potential usurper or enemy to rocket's kanto faction. his first hit would involve kidnapping a male, a son to one of rocket's members, and holding them hostage in exchange for some important data that was stolen from rocket's kanto headquarter. the only person who could have had access was a rocket member themselves. this would mean that they had a raticate to dispose of.[break][break]

eleasing the hostage in exchange for the stolen data. the hostage was handed over to his father. though, per his father's order, no one who had the audacity to betray their own (rocket) could live...witnesses included. and so rosario ordered his pokemon to kill them. this would come to be his first kill. a memorable experience, one he'd learn well for the future when it came to loyalty.

the crime syndicate that rosario's father led were called "los sangre," a family owned cartel that worked both with and for rocket. those who lead the group were referred to as "bloodlily", which is the organization's symbol. illegal activity is all they're known for and are constantly butting heads with interpol agents. eventually, rosario knew a day would come when he'd have to take over for his father. recently, his father passed away during his time within hoenn. how it is unknown, but in his will he had chosen, to no surprise, his son. during a mission he was summoned by the man whom he admired most: declan walsh.

osario was chosen to assist declan within previous tasks his father once delegated. his first assignment, one that was said to be a long-term one, was dealing with the rocket traitor Katherine Fairburne . someone who, surprisingly, caught the spanish thief's eye. she would come be dubbed as "the rocket princessa", a target highly valued in the underworld.
