Name for a dark but soft Italian male character

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]!

Im currently writing a story about a son to the Italian mafia boss, who’s “evil”. But then he gets stuck in an arranged marriage but eventually falls for the girl and she becomes a soft spot for him (her name will be Liliana).

So do you have any ideas for my male main character? He’s seen as a ruthless, coldhearted killer and often referred to as the devil and I want his name to be Italian and have some kind of dark and powerful meaning.

(Would also be nice if the name was some kind of symbol for something because I want liliana to get a tattoo that symbolizes him. Like for example “lily” is short for [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] and therefor the male main character will eventually get a tattoo of the flower lily.)

[name_f]Welcome[/name_f]!

Some suggestions are:
[name_m]Angelo[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucius[/name_m]
[name_m]Octavius[/name_m]

If it works, you could name him after a [name_m]Roman[/name_m] god. [name_u]Mars[/name_u] is the god of war.
