Timoteo

Timoteo, the Vongola Nono (Ninth Vongola), was the ninth leader of the Vongola Famiglia.

History
Timoteo inherited leadership of the Vongola Famiglia from his mother, Daniela, becoming the Vongola Nono (Ninth Vongola). Timoteo made several attempts to aid the surviving members of the Simon Famiglia in his new position, but when he learned that the Simon Famiglia were being hunted and persecuted because of their powers, he decided that the Simon Famiglia would be safer if the Vongola Famiglia did not draw attention to the troubled family by involving themselves in their affairs. Thus, Timoteo secretly gave the Simon Famiglia his best wishes and prayed in earnest that obscurity would protect them. However, when Timoteo prepared to pass on the leadership of the Vongola Famiglia to his grandson, he discovered that his worst fears had come true: the once-prosperous Simon Famiglia had been reduced in number to a mere seven orphans, who had fled to parts unknown. Timoteo made sure to keep the existence of these orphans a secret from the newest generation of the Vongola Famiglia, even though he was not sure of their location.

In 150,081 CMT, Enma Kozato told SM Shroom, SM Moss, and SM Yuuka of how Timoteo had decided not to become too involved in the affairs of the Simon Famiglia out of concern for their safety. Franz of the Giegue Famiglia promised Enma that he would not tell Timoteo of the orphans' location. Levi of the Varia stated that, within the Vongola Famiglia, only he and Timoteo had been permitted to know of the existence of the Arboretum Notes.

By 150,083 CMT, Tsunayoshi Sawada had succeeded Timoteo as the leader of the Vongola Famiglia, becoming the Vongola Decimo (Tenth Vongola).
