I'm using a heavily patched version of verbose-trad2 style for biblatex. I'm new to this package, and I'm struggling to find a way to have author's initials only in first citation, and author's full name in bibliography (picture).
I'm possibly looking for a command like citeauthor wich chould affect the way (not properly the style) this and other fields are displayed in a citation, independently of and in parallel to their style in the bibliography.
Disclaimer: In the MWE I used \cite for the sake of brevity and readability. In my document though, I will exclusively use \footcite
MWE:
