 | Federica Azzurro Gender: Female |
|---|
Background
Federica first discovered her uncle working for the Crogiolo Syndicate when she was in university, desperate to do anything for money. She started runnig scams part-time with her uncle, and quickly found herself quitting school and going full time. That was a time when a stern law enforcement in Chiovo picked off old crime families left and right. Crogiolo itself nearly fell then, when Federica's uncle became its acting leader after many others' arrest and betrayed his colleagues for a pardon. Thankfully for the surviving syndicate members, Federica was there to pick up the pieces. She kept the syndicate low for a few years, allowing it to persist despite its peers' demise, then tranformed the traditionalist crime family into a quasi-legal enterprise (on the surface) with international connections. Although she still kept in connect with some street criminls, Federica diversified the syndicate's portfolio by sponsoring and bribing businesses and politicians. This gave her unmatched connections and opportunities, and allowed for personal luxuries otherwise impossible to obtain.
Federica was once married and had a child, but the subsequent divorce drove both her husband and child away. She never remarried after, instead, she sees the best of Crogiolo as her offsprings and believes she is giving them a better life.
For a criminal mastermind, Federica is relatively cheerful. She often greets her subordinates, clients and contacts with a smile, knowing that none of them dares to cross her...until now.

  | Reika Saigyo Gender: Female |
|---|
Background
Her father was a ruthless man. Mizuno Saigyo was a killer, a leader, and a cold, calculating genius. He taught his daughter everything he knew. It was not a loving relationship, but it was an...effective one. Reika is a relentless over achiever, and from youth she trained during most of her free time and became a particularly talented gymnast and even martial artist. So when Mizuno died in his sleep a few years ago, his daughter was the heir to the throne of the Saigyo dynasty, as it were. But long past were the days of running the criminal underground of Japan, and having international connections. Reika made a move- she would focus on strengthening bridges with once-neglected allies of the Crogiolo Syndicate. A few years later, she had lost personal power, sure, but the dynasty survived. It only made sense to merge the two fully, and a year ago Reika moved to a house in Chiavo. The once proud Syndicate needed strength, and so it allowed her a seat on the council in order to bolster their numbers and presence in the city.
So, for a while now, Reika has been quietly working, gathering wealth and clout within the Syndicate, managing the Cocaine division as well as providing muscle for the other members whenever they needed it. And now, well, whatever wave of so called "justice" brought her father's dynasty down in the east, has swept west. The pigs are at their heels and there is a traitor among them.

 | Lucia Koundouros Gender: Female |
|---|
Background
Half Italian, half Greek. Lucia is the daughter of a major European crime lord. Her father, her brother two years her senior along with herself are the only surviving members of the Koundouros family. Her mother, her younger brother and younger sister have all been previously killed. Despite the violent curse the family can't seem to shake off, Lucia herself is rather passive and soft-spoken. She lets her actions do the talking.
From a young age, Lucia taught herself how to "beat the system", so to speak. It started out small, fixing grades here and there, etc. Soon enough, the young girl would learn she had a very unique talent, and once her father found out and she was old enough, Lucia was told the truth about about the Koundouros clan. Even though she went on to university to further her education, Lucia never really worked the field, at least in an ideal way.

 | Leonardo "Leo" Valentino Gender: Male |
|---|
Background
Leo grew up in a family of killers. His father was one of many goons for the Crogiolo Syndicate who took a bit of pleasure in doing the dirty work. He raised his boys, Leo and his two brothers, to be tools and weapons for The Family ever since they were young. His brother's had a bloodlust, but Leo never shared those impulses. You cut a man and he'll heal in a few days. The only way to cripple someone permanently is to take away everything that means something to them. While his brothers specialized in tormenting a mark's loved ones, Leo would attack their finances, their tax records, their deeds and the rest of their assets. He would chew you up and spit you out as a homeless, penniless shadow of your former self, leaving you to the wolves of the underworld to sort you out.
The Syndicate sent him to school to get his legitimate degrees and then put him in charge of helping manage the major financial movements within the Family. While Leo has no confirmed deaths on his record, he has a huge list of lives he's destroyed. He is very calm and calculated in all situations. He often overanalyzes a situation in order to predict all possible outcomes of an action before making the move. He can be quick to anger in confrontational situations and thinks quite highly of himself, often assuming that he is the smartest person in any given room.

 | Name: Rachel Hayford Gender: female |
|---|
Background
Rachel was always the oddball. She crammed in drama and biology, choir and chemistry. After high school, she signed on to perform on cruise ships. Once she was bored with that, she went to paramedic school. She started out working with an ambulance service, but low pay and long hours just couldn’t sustain her. Fortunately, you can meet anyone in an ambulance- one day there happened to be a Syndicate member. Now, she synthesizes party drugs for the Mafia (party safe), and stitches up any boo-boos (even though she doesn’t always know what she’s doing). She dreams of one day becoming an actual doctor, but for now the idea of that much schooling clashes with her free spirit.

 | Jane Montgomery Gender: Female |
|---|
Background
Jane was born into a middle-class family in the midwest and was the third of five children. When her parents divorce left both parties noticeably happier, she began contemplating a degree as a legal professional with a hope of revolutionizing the proceedings of family law. Secondary education brought her abroad and that is where she has remained since she completed her program. Following law school, she began with nickel-and-dime cases in the local courts, no matter the topic. After a few victories, she caught the eye of syndicate representatives. It did not take much consideration before Jane accepted their offer of work.
The news of Azzurro’s arrest sent Jane into the shadows, only picking up enough small, “safe” cases to remain inconspicuous. She keeps her eyes and ears open for any news on the court proceedings or evidence pointing towards an informant, however.
