Francesco [[Bilingual Bonus|Dellamorte]] works as the caretaker of the local cemetery in the small Italian town of Buffalora. He's aided in his work by Gnaghi, a mentally-handicapped man only capable of saying "gna." (Like "nya" but not [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Brooklynish]].) He spends most of his days reading old phone books ("Just because we've got the new ones doesn't mean to say we have to throw the old ones away. [[Small Reference Pools|These books are classics!]]"), constructing a model of a skull, talking with his friend Franco over the phone, and [[Looking for Love In All the Wrong Places|seeking love.]]
Line 25:
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Franco.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Hoo boy, Francesco.
{{quote| '''Francesco''': "My name is Francesco Dellamorte. Weird name, isn't it? Francis Of Death. Saint Francis Of Death. I often thought of having it changed. André Dellamorte would be nicer, for example."}}
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Almost no one in the town refers to Francesco by name. They usually call him "Engineer," which he hates. {{spoiler|Even the undead mayor refers to him this way, and Francesco finally gets to take his anger out on something.}}
