Pre FOTR
Squalo grew up as a baker, his family being granted shark like traits by Neptune to ancestors of centuries past, granting a range of powers. Sadly these have washed out over the years to the point of being an annoyance for Squalo. As he grew and for the majority of his life he devoted everything to Neptune and thought of these gifts as what made his family better than everyone else. One day Squalo was closing up the bakery as his parents left early, he hears a crack of lightning and spins around to see the carriage of his parents and horses burning to ash. He Could almost hear a distant laughing in the sky as Jupiter glared down at him. Squalo fell to his knees watching his only family's corpses dissolve as it starts to rain. Quickly putting out the fire showing young Squalo the Demented bodies of his loved ones, the one thing surviving the fire being the wealth of his former Patrician Family. From here he devoted himself souly to his Bakery and Neptune who stopped the fire, openly renouncing and cursing the other gods.
Squalo kept growing and working at the bakery until one day he started itching for more, years of Bread mini-, Bread making had given him a sort of broken mindset, click click click, shape the bread cook it, grain the wheat, repeat forever, occasionally talk to customers. He realized just having wealth and the occasional customer wasnt enough. Squalo needed something, anything more from this life.

FOTR Day 3+4
Squalo wakes up happily living out his days making bread, visiting Neptune, going home to the Prison and repeating. Until one day on his daily visit to the Neptune shrine he meets Donutella Vinarius, a priestess at the temple. He hears her voice and immediately thinks of the Beauty of the Sirens his mother spoke about. Infatuated with her he stayed an extra long time, his daily visits becoming longer and longer as he spent the large majority of his time being around and helping her with her daily duties, learning she was a Vinarius he kept thinking back to Axonia from all those years ago and how he never got to meet with her again, Could these 2 be related by chance? He was curios but shockingly had given up on it, he only wanted one thing for the rest of time, to stay by the side of and protect Lady Donutella. Eventually he closed down the Aqua Forno (the bakery) for good and spent all his time as Donutella's Attendant. Squalo's Original affection slowly shifted to an obsession, valuing Donut and Neptune as the only things worthy of worship all else be dammed. Squalo consistently would curse at, spit on, or even desecrate shrines to the other gods, even Saturn his Lady's pride. One day even Donutella was fed up with the gods and Rome, Squalo internally happy she was coming to his way of thinking he quietly pushed her in the direction of abandonment, slowly using the constant failures of rome to corrupt the most devoted. One day he looked up to see the sky shift quickly into dark clouds as a brutal rain fell on Rome, Squalo questioned those around him thinking he was seeing things, and when no one else even noticed he knew it was Neptune and his blessings allowing him to see, The Clouds and Rain were tainted a blood red, almost fueling Squalo to sprint into action finding his friend and Landlord Elkoolian of Legion V and taking up arms for the possibility of incoming battles on the streets of Rome so he could ensure the Saftey of Lady Donutella.
