			As previously mentioned, Malocchio was first introduced in the module titled the Evil Eye, which explores his origins and the start of his plot to overthrow Gabrielle and her regime. He also receives a short profile in [[Domains of Dread]], and the DoD write-up of Invidia is updated to take into account the events of the Evil Eye. Malocchio and Invidia both receive more indepth coverage in [[Gazetteer IV]].

	Though he regrets letting his mother slip from his grasp, Malocchio Aderre no longer wishes to kill her, for that would mean him becoming the probable [[heir]] to the position of Invidia's darklord.		Though he regrets letting his mother slip from his grasp, Malocchio Aderre no longer wishes to kill her, for that would mean him becoming the probable [[heir]] to the position of Invidia's darklord. Rather he seeks to capture her and keep her [[incapacitated]], such that he may both keep her [[protected]] and torture her at his leisure.<ref name="Gazetteer IV p. 148">[[Gazetteer IV]] p. 148</ref>

			Beyond the capture of his mother and attaining some method of escape from Invidia, Molocchio's primary goal is seeing the suffering and death of the Vistani. Consumed by [[hatred]] of his ancestors and perhaps even himself, Malocchio may eventually even sacrifice Invidia itself to wipe out the Vistani. Curiously, he also spends a deal of time investigating his ancestral tree.<ref name="Gazetteer IV p. 148">[[Gazetteer IV]] p. 148</ref>
