Okay, this is a weird complaint, but it bothers me that Armand kept his name as "Armand". I mean, instead of later on changing his name back to his birth name of "Andrei" or giving himself a new name, he kept "Armand", the name given to him by Allesandra, Santino's companion who helped in Armand's/Amadeo's torture, who helped in kidnapping him and killing his friends/surrogate family members. He kept that name and asks everyone to call him by it... The name he was given after being mentally broken.
She and Santino, etc. brainwashed him in a way to indoctrinate him into their cult and renamed him as such, and yet, after leaving the cult lifestyle and finding new meaning in his life centuries later, he still goes by his cult name.
It just bugs me, but, then again, maybe it's his trauma and way of coping... Idk.
