Octavian is a Count and comes from a family whose history dates back to before the year 1000. Count Pilati studied mechanical engineering and was not interested in joining the family business. Things changed drastically when the business hit a crisis, stemming from a failed investment. He was asked to take on the CEO position and was dealing with this crisis heads-on for three years.
