Cardinal Trebaldi decides to reinstate the power of the nine families, based on papacy. Armando Catalano, also known as The Scorpion, is a holy relics dealer. He is the son of a heretic who was burnt alive for misdirecting a priest from the church and Christian beliefs. Armando, the bearer of the “mark of the devil”, a birthmark in the shape of a scorpion, will challenge the cardinal’s authority. The cardinal, who seems to be filled with hatred for The Scorpion, sends a young gypsy specialized in poisons to kill him.The adventures of the Scorpion lead him to the treasure of the Templars and to discover an interpretation of what might have happened to it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bar Brawl: Armando starts one between the warrior monks and the Swiss Guard in In the Name of the Father so he and his allies can slip out off the bar without being seen by the monks.

Big Bad: This is Cardinal Trebaldi in most of the stories, but after his death this becomes a Deconstructed Trope, as the comic is set in a world full of Black-and-Grey Morality without any true villains or heroes. Quite surprisingly, in the 12th book (Le Mauvais Augure) the closest to a central villain is Armando himself, and his Side Kick flat-out accuses him of this during his "The Reason You Suck" Speech.
