The Virtuoso is an artist, an actor, and a performer. All of these things are linked by how he performs. How does he perform you ask, well The Virtuoso kills as an art form. Indeed he's been making masterpieces for years, killing people and making them beautiful. Many would call him crazy, a lunatic or other applicable terms. But he simply shrugs them off; seeing himself instead as avant garde. If he comes for your life, at least you'll have the solace of knowing he spent weeks if not months preparing for your "final scene". He will accept nothing less than perfection in all aspects of his work. Of course the assassination jobs don't get nearly that much planning, they're far to boring and uninspired to be true masterpieces. The Virtuoso often kills other performers, actors, bards or whatever else. Thinking that they steal the limelight from him, after all what could be more interesting and perfect than his own work. This has led to a story forming in the acting community, that of the demon in the mask. Stating that The Virtuoso is no man, he's a demon sent onto the world to destroy all that is good.
