Coming from a family with a long history of military service, Rossini learned to hunt and survive in the wild at an early age. While his "wild" life has always been a source of great reward, his personal life took a tragic turn seven years ago when his wife lost her battle to breast cancer. Widowed and left to raise his two young daughters, this lovable alpha male has spent the time since his wife's passing tending to the needs of his children, mostly at his own expense. While he has come to terms with his wife's death, the grieving process is not quite complete. On the island, Rossini hopes to take the final step in accepting his wife's passing by doing something for himself and for himself alone... survive.
