A journalist hell bent on tracking down as much information on the Lumen Sages and the Umbra Witches as he could, he abhorred the philosophies held by the last Lumen Sage. Angels followed Antonio however and once he found and inadvertently awoke Cereza, those same minions killed him, despite her attempt to save him, in front of his young son Luka. Bayonetta comes to learn more of her past bit by bit as well as establishing a bond with Cereza and a friendship with Luka, who learns more of what happened to his father. When Balder absorbed Cereza and threw Luka to his death. Balder and Bayonetta fought and, after a hard battle, it appeared that Balder was defeated. Luka had managed to survive his ordeal and Bayonetta retrieved Cereza. Opening a time portal, she then took Cereza back to her original timeline. Bayonetta (and presumably Jeanne) had perished. A funeral was set up, with a nun presiding over with Enzo and Rodin in attendance. Luka places a large amount of rosemary flowers on the casket and, when he turns to leave, angels from Paradiso come to collect Bayonetta while the nun reveals herself as Jeanne.
