Italian-American, 41 years old, well preserved and with a character. Respects honor and kindness but realizes that there are some things that must be done. Scavenging is a need, the dead don't need these items anymore, but taking things from those who need them is not. Motherly figure that's looked up in the refuge camp she's in and also an excellent cook.

Kind of an asshole, styles himself gang leader after the mob boss died of the sickness and no suitable replacement was found, the italian mob was split in multiple factions but considering his father was one of the most loyal Capo of the old boss, he has a certain legitimacy. He and his gang, commonly referred to as the Napolitans, have taken control of the Plaza Hotel where they pose as just another group of people defending themselves. As of now, the police didn't want to stir up a hornet's nest and attack the place since they're pretty certain the Napolitans have a snitch in the police which would probably warn them. Plus, they've been doing well for themselves and have several police grade weapons and armor. The Napolitans also control some areas of New York, demanding money or supplies for protection from other gangs.
