Have always been closed to the main family of the mob. Even god daughter to the don himself.<br><strong>Rank:</strong> Consigliere<br><strong>History:</strong> Kaitlynn was born into the mob, her father being a consigliere himself and her mother an Irish American woman her father just couldn't help himself with. Growing up, she mostly hung out with the don's eldest son who was a few years older than her. Even though she grew up in the mob, she actually didn't know what her father did until she turned 16, and the don was hoping for a union between his son and herself. Her father, however, wanted her to be with someone she loved. So they stayed tight nit as friends and family until the day both the don's son and her choose to be together or not. <br><br>She did well in school, getting mostly B's and a few C's in classes she hated. Oddly, she grew up in a loving home with two loving parents. At 19, her mother died from Cancer. Since then, she has turned to the family more than her father partially likes, but understands. As her father aged, she took his job when she turned 23. Easily working with the don and learning everything there is to know about their own family and the coalition of families. Even picking up Italian.

Her mother going in and out of a few relationships, made things&nbsp; little harder on her then life should. However, as she fell into the "wrong" crowd in high school she met Julien. Only learning later that he worked for the Matranga family selling drugs to teachers and students alike. Running with him for a while, she slowly moved up the ranks and easily had enough money to move out when she was 18. Also, since she was part of the family, gangs left both her and her mother alone. Letting her stay in a neighborhood that made her job easy for a few years.<br><br>It was only when she went past runner and started to slowly move up the ranks that she had to move away from her home neighborhood. It took her only a few years to move up to a high rank, at least for someone not born into the family. She is well loved by the family and thanks to her baby/babydoll like looks, she is still treated like a precious doll. Which would normally upset her, but actually loves the attention.

In his youth he was notoriously volatile, a hot head who believed he had to been asserting his dominance and masculinity at every turn. He was educated on the error of his ways and learned the value of discretion. Of implying threat over asserting it. His demeanor was further refined when he took his one real break from life in the family business, serving in Iraq. By the time he returned he was something of a changed man but more committed to the family than ever before. <br><br>These days Conor is the Under Boss to his family with a reputation as a ruthless pragmatist. While his explosive outbursts are a thing of the past he still believes violence to be the supreme authority. The White Hands power is based on its capacity to perform violence when needed. This is not to say violence is the only (or even first) weapon in his arsenal but he has certainly proved his capacity to use it with all the military precision expected as the special forces veteran. But he's a pragmatist first and foremost, he'll work a deal when it makes sense and use persuasion over intimidation when its better for the family. He's patient and smart enough to listen to the consigliere and of course his father. <br><br>When times were good he would make routine trips to Ireland, strengthening ties with the IRA (and occasionally to watch the Irish team play rugby) but he also appears to have interests in Germany, especially where a supply of guns are concerned. With concerns on the homefront however he plans to keep his feet very firmly planted and play his part in getting the family through what's to come. <em>Tiocfaidh ár lá.</em><br><br><div align="center"><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Wanted Ad - Conor's wife</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> _____ McCarthy (Nee _____ ) <br><strong>Age:</strong> 30 - 38<br><strong>Role:</strong> Wife/Partner-in-Crime<br><strong>Requested FC:</strong> Katie McGrath (negotiable but highly preferred)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Married sometime after his return from Iraq</li><li>Aware of his involvement in organised crime, may also work with the family.

However, he is the only boy. That meant he was being groomed for leadership since he was a child. As Tyree is directly descended from the original founder of the Matranga family so many years ago; his father, Jakob made sure he would do the family name proud. Extra schooling lessons(things like percentages, numbers, things a young Don would need to know), self-defense and firearm training; the whole nine yards. <br><br>Tyree took his lessons well, and was a very well-mannered child to the adults. However, he treated children his own age and even older differently. By the time he was in eight grade,<br>&nbsp;he was running small rackets in school and fighting older kids to protect his sisters honor. This continued on into high school, where he continued to "play" gangta as his dad liked to call it. But hey, he was making his own money, and he just knew he was making the old man proud. When he turned sixteen, he was finally allowed into the family properly, and given small jobs to run. Even though he was next in line, Jakob wanted Tyree to understand the good things in life were gained through hard work, not family ties. <br><br>Tyree worked his ass off for his father, making sure payments were collected on time, properties were protected, and authorities and other channels were bribed.<br><br>&nbsp;He was ruthlessly efficient in the name of the Matranga family, and his parents definitely took notice. Jakob figured with the way things were going, he could retire in his late forties and have no issue letting Ty run the business. He never got the chance to pass the reigns though. During Tyree's eighteenth birthday celebration, Julius Wiles, an up and coming kingpin wannabe trying to make a name for himself personally crashed the party and put a bullet in his fathers' skull.<br><br>&nbsp;Things like birthdays and funerals were sacred in the families, so no one even assumed someone would try and kill the most powerful man in the city at his son's birthday party. Tyree was the first to react, throwing an ash tray at him hard enough to crush his orbital socket. He kept the man from being turned into swiss cheese right there, and canceled the party. Then he had his father's body taken to the back room so he could think. When only family members were left, he hugged his ladies.<br><br>&nbsp;His mom, Lene, Odessa, and Cheree. And then they cried over his body, saying prayers to the Loa to keep him safe in the afterlife. He left his sisters to comfort his mother, and asked Ophelia to set up funeral preparations. He had business with Julius. In the basement, the boys had set plenty of tools out, and Tyree felt <em>nothing</em> when he picked up one. <br><br>He knew he'd use it, and he wouldn't even bat an eye because Julius didn't have a second thought when he killed his father. Why should he? Even though it was his first time actually torturing a man; he found it wasn't that hard. In just a few hours, he'd gotten important names for people in Wiles' organization. Runners, contacts, suppliers...family members. Over the next few weeks, while the funeral was being planned, he rounded up every name on the list. The unimportant ones were killed. The ones who could be useful were offered a choice. Work for Matranga, or die. And the VIP's. Julius' family. His wife. His son. His brother. Parents. Anyone in his bloodline.<br><br>&nbsp;They were all brought to an empty warehouse, where Julius was hung up by his wrists. And once they were there, Tyree explained in excruciating detail why they were brought here. Why Julius was tied up and bloody, and why there was a high possibility they would all die because of his actions. He made sure Julius was awake and aware when he cracked his dad in the kneecap with a bat. Then the other. He broke his father in front of him before slowly going to work with his blades. The whole process took several hours, and he screamed nearly the entire time. Tyree finally put a bullet between his eyes to end his misery. He could have stopped there. But this was a teachable moment, as it were. He savored in Julius' tears, and his hypocritical cries.<br><br>&nbsp;He watched the man beg for forgiveness, beg him not to hurt the rest of his family. Offer him anything under the sun to make sure his family would be okay. Those of course came after the horrible names and curses and whatnot. It took every bit of control Tyree had not to slaughter Julius and his entire family. But this was an example. He told him how things were, and how they would be. His operation was crushed. He would never work in Matranga territory, or any territory of the Five Families again. If Tyree heard his name and it wasn't for a 9-5 job like McDonald's Manager or store clerk, he'd wipe out his family tree. But as it was, an eye, for an eye. A life, for a life. <br><br>Tyree's father was dead before his time, and now so was Julius'. Once he was sure he and his family understood that, he let them go. But not before leaving Julius with a parting gift of a beating that would require hospital care. And that sealed his transformation; his ascension to Don of the Matranga family. Vengeance, but fair vengeance. His father had always preached to him the importance of using his power wisely. There was no point in killing a man and his entire family just because Tyree's father had been killed. No. Now Julius had to live with the fear of knowing one day he might be killed.<br><br>&nbsp;One day he might be forced to watch his wife assassinated right by his side. A week later when Julius Wiles name popped up on the nightly news as a suicide victim, the message was sent. <em>No one</em> fucks with Matranga. With a single act of retribution, Tyree cemented his reputation as a ruthless man when pushed, but fair any other time. Since his father's death, he has run his family with an almost machine-like drive to make sure they remain strong and where they belong. He will make his father proud.&nbsp; </span>

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/U5sFxdk.jpg)</div>Name: Rosario Salvatore <em>"Il Padrone"</em> Maranzano<br>Age: 50<br>Gender: Cis-male<br>Sexuality: At a certain age, certain things become quite meaningless, labels inclusive.<br>Nationality: Born in the States, Siciliano from both sides, way back to his great-grandfather, Salvatore Maranzano<br>Languages: Italian, Lingua siciliana, English, Russian<br><br><div align="center">~*~</div><br>Family: Marazano<br>How you got into the Family: By heritage<br>Rank: Don <br><br><strong>History: </strong><br><br>Rosario had been born in New York, into a family of infamous mobsters. But wait - one certainly did not use that particular term anymore these days. 'Businessmen' sounded so much better and, most of all, more deceptive. <br><br>His heritage is a long (if not infamous) one, indeed. <br><br>The name Maranzano certainly isn't an unknown one within the organized crime, the name of his family goes back to the early days of the <em>Cosa Nostra</em> back in Sicily. His grandfather - Salvatore Maranzano, who emigrated to the States from Sicily shortly after World War I, had settled down in Brooklyn back then, at first building up a legal business as real estate broker. Soon enough, he had a well running bootlegging business as well, using his legal work as facade for any illegal activities. It was not long before there was prostitution and smuggling of narcotics (and alcohol during the Prohibition) involved as well and young Salvatore quickly had found a mentor in his friend Joseph Bonnano - a member of another criminal family back then. And thus it came to be that Salvatore quickly grew a criminal empire and in 1930 he declared war on the Boss of all Bosses back then, Joe Masseria. Salvatore and his followers won and Salvatore declared himself as<em> Capo di tutti Capi </em>in 1931. He did what nobody had done before: he united the five criminal families of New York City in one organization. All the big names were present. The Gallianos, the Genovese, the Costellos. <br><br>It happened what must happen to someone who was too power hungry and arrogant, though. His enemies and various rival families in town got rid of him, before he could get rid of them. But what would the past be good for, if not for learning from ones mistakes? Not once Rosario had claimed the title "Boss of all Bosses" for himself - because power does not come through names and titles, only through actions and connections. Arrogance was the quickest way to shovel ones own grave and while he still honours his grandfather for what he had done for the city and <em>La Cosa Nostra,</em> he is well aware that following in his footsteps can be thin ice at times. Very, very thin ice. Old hostilities and feuds were settled shortly after Rosario stepped up, new conncetions were made instead. Nothing is more toxic for business than shadows of the past. <br><br>It is highly likely if not a fact that the authorities are well aware of Rosario's 'dealings' but, there is a huge difference between knowing something and being able to prove something. Rosario moves in high circles, calls politicans and business tycoons his personal friends. His has a good reputation in those circles - and, maybe even more important -<br>among his employees. Rosario is involved in various unions, charity organizations and the immigration policy, he owns an empire of companies and industries because there is one thing he learned from his ancestors:<em> "If the people working for you are happy, they will go to lengths to protect you and yours." </em>One does not bite the hand that feeds, right? Right.<br><br>Despite his social dedication and his well groomed public reputation, Rosario leads the families with an iron fist. Tradition, Honour and the <em>Omerta</em>, the code of silence, are prime expectations of everyone who works for him, down to the casual associates. Not in the past and certainly not in the future Rosario will tolerate failure or betrayal. Nowadays, he is never seen without various<em> 'ombres'</em>, as he prefers to call them. Shadows. A man in a position like himself always has more enemies than friends. Rosario inherited much from his deceased father almost twenty years ago now, having been old Maranzano's oldest son. His title, the power and the place within the families, after long years of growing, proving himself and learning the ways of <em>La Cosa Nostra</em>. <br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">More visuals</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br><span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">All images are clickable!</span><br><br>(https://i.imgur.com/azaflJb.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/RAIiATK.jpg)&nbsp; (https://i.imgur.com/5NxaLK5.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/bK93zV3.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/c5Pni6J.jpg)&nbsp; (https://i.imgur.com/19lut6G.jpg)&nbsp; (https://i.imgur.com/aqxTr5N.jpg)&nbsp; (https://i.imgur.com/vqDgOOl.jpg)&nbsp; </div></div>

He is the great-grandson of Arnold Rothstein, the eldest son of Mark Rothstein, the current boss of the Rothstein crime family. He graduated with a degree in law from Yale University, and started handling most of the legal affairs of the family. Because of his managerial skills and status as the boss' son, Eli is respected and looked up to by most of the rest of the family, including his father who cherishes him. He sees his aunt Rebekah as a rival, but respects her skills. <br><br>He helped his father shift the family's business model away from riskier ventures like narcotics and sex trade towards more semi-legal to illegal ventures in real estate and the construction industry, while also taking part in stock manipulation. Regarding the current events and increasing tension between the Italians and Irish, Eli is trying to make sure the Rothsteins won't pick sides and try instead to calm the egos at play, including those in his own family. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Eli appears arrogant, confident in his business model, his legal knowledge and his charms. He is highly intelligent, cunning and independent; people depend on him, not the other way around. He is also extremely observant, calm, mature and sly, perfect qualities for a lawyer about to inherit a mob family. He is highly manipulative, calculating and deeply loyal to his family. He seeks structure in his life. He is a man of pattern and habit, going to the synagogue every Saturday for Sabbath, and taking value in taking care of his family.

Her mother Ruth Rose and her father Martin Rose were married for less than five years before she divorced him and stayed single the rest of her life so she could continue to get the alimony. Hannah was a child of the sun, she loved being outdoors, planting, picking flowers, catching bugs, dance under the rays of sunlight. Her mother want her to have a good education tho and sent her daughter to Ramaz the most elite private Jewish school in New York, at Martin's expense of course. Hannah only knew of her father from his name on the checks that came every month, or 'that bastard' as her mother called him. <br><br>While at Ramaz she discovered another love of hers, dancing. She loved ballet and her long lean stature made her an idle candidate. She was very talented and by the time she was a freshman in high school juliard was sending her letters offering scholarships for college. Ruth would not hear of it. She wasn't going to let her only daughter be a dancer, it would be a shande. So she was sent to Cornell and earned a degree in medicine. Giving up on her dream she settled for what her parents expected of her. <br><br>She graduated, went to medical school, finished her degree, sat for her boards and... failed. She failed for the first time in her life she failed. Her mother was devastated and heartbroken how could Hannah do such a thing after all the money her father paid. Hannah couldn't take the pressure to be perfect it was too much, so one day without warning she packed up her things and showed up on Martin's doorstep. She is settling into the new home, visiting a new synagogue and getting to know her step-mother's side of the family. <br><br>Personality: Hannah is very demure and proper(a stark contrast to Rebekah), she is a listener, always listening to what people are saying though soft spoken, even tempered and classy. She isn't sure what she wants out of life since she lived under her mother's thumb for so long.

'The Jade Snake' never misses a target...<br><br>Miraculously even under the rare and (to many) bizarrely successful last three years after the death of Mitsurugi&nbsp; Hirameki and the new leadership of his daughter Shiotome Hirameki, the honored Yakuza branch of elite assassins has only gotten stronger and even less tempting to try and mess with.<br><br>Ambitious men wishing to try and usurp Shiotome's position did try... but they made a great mistake in underestimating her, there was never any evidence to implicate Shiotome and the bodies of her would-be usurpers have still never been found to this day. Likely never will... 'The Jade Snake' has an unblemished reputation to consider after all.<br><br>Shiotome is well known to be as ruthless and clever as she is devastatingly beautiful, making it very clear to all the men surrounding her to NEVER doubt her abilities and most importantly, do not ever fuck around with her if you'd like to maintain your heads attached state to your neck. In the last three years... she's gotten the message across quite well 'Mess with me... and I promise you... I will CRUSH you'.<br><br>The young woman was prepared her entire life for this, her father knew he couldn't have any more children after Shiotome, so he set his mind to making his daughter the first female boss 'The Jade Snake' has never had. He would make his daughter nigh invincible, she would be ruthless and intelligent enough to stand toe to toe with any man hoping to steal the empire her father had built up into such glorious reknown.<br><br>Shiotome learned quite a few forms of martial arts, she was taught the art of stealth and speed, she was educated in both hand to hand and mental battle strategy... it didn't hurt either that she'd inherited her father's sly cleverness.<br><br>No one was going to take 'The Jade Snake' away from the Hirameki line. No one.

The daughter of Seamus McKenna and Kaitlin McKenna nee Doherty.&nbsp; She is the youngest of four with three elder brothers, one who died in a bombing and the other two still serving with the IRA. She was raised a good little catholic girl, attending mass every day, schooled by nuns, and protected fiercely by her family. She was raised with the shadow of a grandfather she never knew, he was arrested by the time she was born. Her father worked as a lawyer and her mother was a housewife. She watched her father beat her mother nearly daily and her mother took the abuse because she knew she couldn't get a divorce in the church and she had no money of her own. Ailis swore to never be that weak.&nbsp; <br>Her life was turned upside down when she sixteen. Her father and brother were arrested in connection with a bombing. Her mother was frightened that they would come for Ailis next and sent her to America to live with her Aunt. Life in America wasn't easy though, her Aunt was poor and couldn't afford to feed another mouth. As soon as Ailis turned seventeen she started looking for a job and ended up working on a gentlemen's club owned by Maranzano. She doesn't like to talk about her time there and her Irish temper shows quickly when it's mentioned. It paid her way through Columbia Law School though and as soon as she had her law degree she was packing her bags and heading home. <br>By the time she was 24 she had moved home to Ireland. Working in a local small firm she lived at home with her father and frequented the pubs that the IRA was welcome in. Conor McCarthy had been a name she heard in passing "Conor's coming to the pub tomorrow." "Conor's back from Iraq and comin' to see us." But never paid much attention assuming he was just another criminal thug. Til the day she stopped by the pub on her way home. From the moment her eyes laid on him she knew she would marry that man. By the time his work in Ireland was done they were in love. He asked her father's permission of course, and Seamus was more than happy to marry his little girl off to the underboss of the Irish mob.The Irish mob was less enthusiastic about the match, especially when her name came up in connection with the Italians. They were in love and love conquers all, right ? <br>&nbsp;Life with Conor had been mostly perfect ever since, their marriage was stronger than ever. Ailis was known to scare off any of the little trashy girls that tried to hang around Conor and no one ever dreamed of flirting with the wife of a man that powerful. <br><br>She opened a law firm, that was kept very busy by the various legal troubles of many of the families in town. Ailis also gave Conor two sons, Michael Keegan McCarthy (6) and Finn Patrick McCarthy (4). She still hopes to had a little girl to their clan.
