Antonio Luccessi

"To retire, would be to die."

- Antonio Luccessi

Antonio Luccessi was the Executive Vice-President of the Militech Arms Corporation, as well as the founder of its progenitor, Armatech-Luccessi. His position is largely symbolic and he prefers the design and engineering processes more than running a company. It is revealed in the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer that he died at the age of 116, however this contradicts the published works by R.Talsorian Games.

History
Antonio was born in Italy in 1935, little is known about his upbringing however by the mid 1950s he was working as an armorer for NATO and later on joined the firearms manufacturer, Beretta. In 1992 he emigrated to the United States and worked for Colt Firearms until 1996 when he founded Armatech-Luccessi.

By 1998 the company had entered the US Military firearm trials, in which it would ultimately lose out to the FN system due to bureaucracy. However the company gained a powerful new ally in retired Marine Corps General Donald Lundee. In 2000 Luccessi stepped down as CEO of Armatech-Luccessi after offering the position to Lundee, and soon after the company was renamed to the Militech International Armaments.

Luccessi's Executive VP role is largely symbolic as he prefers the hands on work, to running a company, however due to his status and the risks associated, he resides in the Militech HQ in Washington D.C, occasionally taking trips in the manufacturing plants in New Hampshire.

At the age of 85 he is still widely respected for his continued ingenuity, and his Cybernetic eyes and hands have only improved his work over the years. Antonio has several children that still reside in Italy, as well as his Granddaughter Anastasia, who holds a high ranking position in the Militech Special Operations division.

Trivia

 * In Corporation Report 2020 Volume 2, Antonio Luccessi is said to be 85 years old as of 2020, putting his date of birth as 1935. Images included in the books, position him as a NATO armorer in the mid 1950s, however in the Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay reveal trailer, a newspaper declared him dead at the age of 116. It is unknown if this is a mistake on the part of CDPR, or if they have revised the timeline.
