A year and a half later, he found himself before his family's graves, behind which stood a bare, dark tree, equally lifeless. Next to the three headstones stood another—his own. The Wolf had brought his apprentice to the battlefield, hoping that in a critical situation he would finally come to his senses. But Stefano was afraid; he cowered in a trench, not daring to attack, and deliberately broke his shield under the bullets. Dan realized this. The apprentice's behavior was the last straw, and he shouted at Stefano, accusing him of cowardice. Stefano sat for a long time, pressed against an earthen embankment, trying to hide from the carnage and the ravages. He clutched a pistol he disliked and which he did not know how to use. Suddenly, he noticed one of the creatures approaching the Wolf from behind. Stefano felt terrified. During his time in Solarum, Stefano's character had undergone significant changes. Before becoming a Protector, his mother shielded him from any potential danger. This left him timid, indecisive, and unwilling to take responsibility. Upon entering Solarum, he feared death, avoided risks, and smiled sheepishly in response to the other Protectors' ridicule. However, everything changed when Stefano experienced his first conscious death and subsequent resurrection. He became more composed and self-assured, recognizing his advantage over the other Protectors. Around the same time, Stefan dropped the "o" from his name. After the trial, Stefan's character underwent another transformation. He felt guilty for not receiving proper punishment for his actions. The Protectors turned against him, and he responded in kind. Stefan began avoiding responsibility, including his work as a Watcher, and began sabotaging his missions, giving the Protectors even more reason to hate him. Stefan is sarcastic and caustic. He doesn't mince words and says exactly what he thinks. Steph is lazy but talented. Despite his shortcomings, Aquarius has a strong sense of justice and a unique perspective.

His great-great-grandfather founded the watch company Aeternum. However, the family motto, "Only Time is Immortal," was more than just a tribute to their successful business. For generations, the Cavalli family, to which Stefano belonged on his mother's side, possessed a unique ability: the firstborn in each generation had the ability to heal from any injury, even the most fatal. This ability didn't make people immortal, but it allowed them to live much longer before their bodies reached their limits. At the same time, there was a special period of time—two windows per day—when the firstborn could die under any circumstances. Stefano inherited this ability to regenerate from his mother. From childhood, she told her son that he was born special. The family curse first saved Stefano from death at the age of five—he was playing with friends on the street. He ran away from the girl leading him, turned a corner, tripped over a ledge, and fell down a high stone staircase, at the end of which a flash of pain and darkness awaited him. It was his first death. The next thing Stefano remembered was his mother sitting on the same stairs, hugging him tightly. He remembered only darkness and cold. These sensations were so strong and vivid that little Stefano cried every time he returned to them. His mother took this calmly, as she was always reserved and reluctant to show warmth, even when children needed it. However, she spoke passionately to her son of his exceptional qualities. After the incident on the stairs, Stefano first heard that a difficult fate awaited him. His playmates stopped talking to him and tried to avoid him. He learned of his family's immortality on his fifteenth birthday, but attributed his mother's brief explanation to a beautiful family legend. Besides Stefano, his parents had another child, his younger sister Tina. Unlike her son, her mother loved her less, and both children understood this. Although Tina needed nothing, only her older brother cared for her.

Stefano Geronimo Ferrari (Steph, Stefan) is a Lumen Protector serving under the sign of Aquarius. He is a member of the Circle of Thirteen. The Circle of Thirteen is a group of thirteen Lumen Protectors serving under the zodiac constellations. Steph is a reserved and sarcastic man who tries to avoid interfering in the affairs of Solarum. Solarum is the headquarters of the Lumen Protectors. It is located high in the sky above the equator, directly opposite the Sun. Behind his back, he is called "The Executioner" due to a crime he committed in the past. Stefano was born into a wealthy Italian family.

The history of the Fallen and the subsequent trial profoundly impacted Stefan's relationships with the world around him, resulting in Aquarius not receiving the punishment he deserved. The Guardians turned their backs on him, and Stefan isolated himself from the few remaining humans, believing he didn't deserve their company.
