character stats and basic info
S Q U A L O
QUICK STATS
Age: 22-23 in canon
Height: 182cm tall (6 feet),
Weight: 75kg (with hair)
Birthday: March 13
Sign: Pisces
Blood type: O-
Place of origin: Italy, Palermo
LOOKS & FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Hair: completely white. he usually wears it loose, styled with asymmetrical bangs.
Eyes: light gray.
Skin: very light white (unusually so for his homeland)
Build: thin/twiggy and angular, though reasonably toned. long limbs.
Voice: REALLY LOUD AND GRATING. It has that sort of unclear sandpapery quality that you can hear in people with a sore throat. His normally unnoticeable accent becomes increasingly thicker when he's frustrated or tired.
Mannerisms: He talks loud, fast, expressive and gestures with his hands a lot. Only respects his own personal space, will easily casually touch other people while talking. Smirks most of the time.
Stance: Stands straight or in a relaxed slouch, carries himself with confidence and a sort of lazy readiness, like a predatory animal.
QUICK REFERENCE (EXTENDED):
Favorite word: Pride
Favorite food: Tuna Carpacchio
Favorite animal: shark
Dislikes: sucking up to bosses (/people who do it?)
Hobbies: Maintaining swords
Astrological sign: Pisces
He usually dresses in his leather uniform, sometimes swapping it for jeans and leather jackets, and largely favors black, though occasionally goes for red or blue shirts. He doesn't wear ties unless he's in an actual suit (for which he also goes with white sometimes). He habitually wears gloves, which also conceals his artificial left hand.
His hair is almost stark white and reaches his thighs if not tied in some way.
HE IS REALLY LOUD. His voice is rough, almost hoarse but powerful, somewhat grating, and his laugh matches - something between a hyena and a dog bark, most likely. He always sounds like he's yelling, and tends to show his teeth a lot.
His sword is a roman spatha (spada), a longsword used in gladiator fights and as a standard part of heavy infantry in Roman Empire. It measures between 0.75 and 1 m (30 and 39 in). No information for this particular kind of sword is provided, but going by various longswords, it should weigh about 1.6 - 2kg (3.8-4.7lb?) or more.
Other information:
A short history,
Squalo was a child fencing prodigy and has attended a "mafia school" in the past (same one as Dino), so he is most likely well educated, and versed at or at least familiar with mafia-y high class customs (like diplomatic parley, formal manners, using 7324682346 different table tools, ballroom dance and what have you). Doesn't mean he'll use it unless he absolutely has to.
He was/is left-handed. That makes it difficult for most swordsmen to parry his attacks.
This should be obvious but just in case... HE HAS A FAKE HAND. His left arm ends at the wrist or a bit higher (and he CUT IT OFF HIMSELF to complete his style or something), although he has an extremely nifty prosthetic that seems to do anything a real hand would, like hold things. His sword connects to it (it's unclear where he carries it while it's not attached, and it tends to appear real fast when it's needed? SHOUNEN MAGIC).
Official interviews and thoughts on other Varia can be found here.
According to Reborn! ēlDLIVE Character's 365 art book, Squalo likes the nervousness of life or death duel, sleeping again after waking up, spaghetti alla pescatora, and Buri Daikon. His dislikes are his subordinate’s grumbling, his boss’ spoiled attitude, Vongola younglings, Yamamoto’s carefreeness, Levi’s idiocy, Flan’s huge idiocy, and many more. .
Varia information:
On the Varia flag, under their symbol, there is a text saying "Squadra killer autonoma di Vongola IX", which means: "Autonomous Assassination Team of Vongola IX." As such, Varia is branch of Vongola mafia, but operates independently.
Squalo is second-in-command in Varia. Sword Emperor Tyr was the first Varia boss; Squalo killed him (when he was 14, nonetheless) and was to success him as the boss but passed the position over to Xanxus instead.
To join the Varia, you have to speak a minimum of seven languages, which means Squalo does too:
Confirmed languages: Italian, Japanese, English.
Headcanon languages:
Native-fluent: Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, German, French, Malay;
Working knowledge: Farsi, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Romanian, Finnish, Vietnamese;
Basics: Latin, several sign languages.
Each Varia member takes on missions that are said to be impossible to accomplish by humans; those that see them work often say that their high-level assassination skills are demonic. This has prompted the description "Varia quality". However, they do not accept a mission unless the chance of success is 90% or higher. To keep up the reputation, I guess.
Most Varia are open to suggestions for their victims' manner of death.
The Varia are said to kill any member who fails, in order to eliminate weakness. However, it seems that they are injured rather than killed, since Lussuria, Squalo and Viper have failed on occasion and all three are still alive. It may be a recent trend, however, considering that all of them were fucking terrified of losing and tried to continue/die/run away instead.
Varia has a headquarters in which at least the core members (officers?) live. Known facilities in it are their respective bedrooms and bathrooms, their dining and meeting rooms, and Xanxus's office. It's also a fucking castle. There's about 50 members overall, whether or not they also live there is unclear. Varia also has its own private jet.
Headcanons.
