Fan Casting Sergeant Luca Moretti in Whispers in the Trenches

Sergeant Luca Moretti is a tough, street-smart Italian-American soldier with a survivor’s instinct and a sharp tongue. Born into the rough neighborhoods of Brooklyn, he’s as quick with his fists as he is with a joke, using humor to mask the weight of war. Beneath his hardened exterior, he’s fiercely loyal, the kind of soldier who would rather die than leave a man behind. But as the trenches close in and the unseen horror picks them off, his bravado starts to crack. Moretti knows war—but this isn’t war. This is something worse, and for the first time, he’s truly afraid.
