    Clues to his current state are in the Haunted by Daylight tome. We may learn more in the future, but to give you the specific excerpts I mean that may hint towards Vittorio's symbols/glow:

    Only inside this tower, instead of stories and Irish wine, they found dozens of flayed bodies and leather scrolls covered in tattoos. The tattooed messages and symbols are indecipherable. Could be messages and secrets about this dark dimension. Things learned. Things discovered. Perhaps even a way out of this infernal prison.


    A few of us found more of these scrolls and strange instruments like the glowing blue contraption in the basement. The symbols on the scrolls seem very familiar to those found within the pages of Sam Park's codex. Several of these ancient scrolls were returned to the House of Arkham, and upon further inspection, it was clear that the scrolls were made out of human skin and that someone had been hunting people with arcane symbols tattooed on their bodies. Strange yet fascinating to think that there are human ‘books’ walking around the Realm with secret knowledge that could possibly help us better understand this loveless inferno. Could make for an interesting character in the moving picture I will eventually write, produce and direct. I imagine a character recording the secrets of the universe on his skin with cosmic ink that cannot be erased, smudged, or destroyed. But, in reality, he’s probably some ordinary Joe from a strange world who tattooed a grocery list on his body. Curious to learn more about these ‘human books,’ I spent time researching the Chamber of Blood for stories inspired by or referencing a character like him.
