Biography
Nino Donelli was a vampire of Clan Brujah and was an underling of criminal organizer Eddie Fiori. Nino worked for Eddie's Dock Worker's Union in San Francisco, California. In 1996, Eddie and Nino learned that one of their number, Paulie Boyle, was feeding information to the San Francisco police department. Paulie arrived at the union house late one evening and overtly began talking about all of the bribes that Eddie had been accepting. Suspecting that Paulie was wearing a wire, Nino sarcastically denied the allegation, citing that all of their money was earned legitimately and that they even donated funds for "widows and orphans". After Eddie revealed that Paulie was in fact wearing a wire, they dragged him into an upstairs room where Nino killed him by impaling Paulie with a metal hook.

Eddie and Nino knew that detective Frank Kohanek was getting too close to discovering the truth about their operations and they decided to embrace him, transforming him into a vampire. One of Eddie's contacts, Sonny Toussaint, who was secretly playing both sides of the field, knew that Frank was in danger and anonymously provided him with a phosphorous gun to protect himself. The Kindred Primogen of San Francisco learned of the crime and a blood hunt was called for Nino Donelli. Nino broke into Frank's apartment prepared to embrace him, but Frank fired the phosphorous gun, killing him.
