Bobby Zucco was born into the Serpeverde Crime Family, his mother being the sister of the Boss, Big Sal Serpeverde. Bobby was best friends with his cousin, Big Sal’s son, Little Sal. The two of them spent their teenage years fighting in an illegal dueling club at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and they both became quite proficient in quick, combat-related spellcasting.
After graduating, Bobby spent a few years in various security-related positions for the Family before being invited to become a Made Member and take the Omertà, the Oath of Silence. He then served as a collections enforcer for several more years before being given an opportunity to run a small crew of new recruits as an Acting Capo. The fact that such an offer was made to someone so young had angered some of the older Members, who felt Bobby got special treatment because of his blood relation to the Boss. Bobby knew he would have to work hard to earn their approval… or find a way to get rid of them.

Biography
Born in 2001 in Manaus to Sérgio and Maria Correia, a Full-blooded potions master and a Muggle-born Witch, and leading an uneventful life for the first few years until 2003, when both of her parents went to a fancy, moonlit dinner at a restaurant out in the rainforest, a decision that would shape Alícia’s life forever as Sérgio and Maria were mauled by a werewolf. Sérgio succumbed to his injuries, but managed to save Maria’s life with Dittany and silver before doing so. She kept her lycanthropy a closely-guarded secret, but she and her daughter fell on hard times.
The day Alícia’s magic manifested at seven was a massive relief, as living at the school would lessen the financial strain and she was sent to Castelobruxo at 11. Unlike the Castelobruxo stereotype, Alícia never cared much for herbology, her interest in plants ending at their Scoville rating and THC content. She instead displayed a natural knack for Transfiguration, also showing interest in Charms due to their usefulness. Her transfiguration talent has endeared her to her Transfiguration professor, an elderly Wizard named Rúben Sauza, whose help and patience allowed her to learn the process of becoming an animagus by year three and complete the ritual in secret the year after during the summer break, considering her animal form - a Carrion Crow - an absolute win.
For her sixth year, Alícia’s grades qualified her for an exchange program to one of Europe’s magical schools, spending that year at the Durmstrang Institute where she got her first proper introduction to the Dark Arts. Unfortunately, it was during her time at Durmstrang that her mother’s lycanthropy was discovered, costing her her job and bringing the Correias’ finances from “shaky” to “crashing down”.
Alícia was thrown a lifeline by Mateo Pareja, a talented herbologist from Colombia with a shady reputation one year her junior. Turned out the reputation was well deserved, as Mateo was selling drugs made of magical plants to Muggles and suggested she start using Transfiguration to get muggles things that are otherwise hard to get for them and helped her get going along that path. That helped some, and with her Transfiguration talent at least they weren’t going hungry, but acquiring Wolfsbane for her mother remained a serious problem. But fortune may have turned toward her at least a little in 2023, when the New York partners of the Cartel mateo had joined needed someone with her experience. Her Transfiguration talents and status as Animagus must have made an impression, as the temporary job turned into a permanent offer. Alícia moved to New York full time with her mother, now working as an associate of the Serpeverde Crime Family hoping to carve out a piece of the pie for herself and her mother.
Aurelia was born into the Serpeverde Crime Family, however, her mother had little knowledge of her father's true identity until after she was born. Her father, Viktor, isn't a direct relation, however, his grandfather joined the crime family back in the early 1900s earning loyalty and prestige in the family. Her mother upon learning who she was engaged to, fled with her daughter back to her homeland of France. Being a descendant of the creators of the prominent French wizarding school, Auri's mother had great protection for a while until her father came back for her.
Aurelia was only five when her father returned with her to America, her mother nowhere in sight. She attended Ilvermony when she was old enough. Auri excelled in dealing with charms, and magical creatures. She also was rather proficient in potions and lost languages. After graduating from Ilvermony with top marks, she returned to the only ever place she knew of, the Serpeverde Family. She was tasked with small scare jobs, using the magical creatures she had tamed to put fear into the family's enemies and a few of the family members as well. With her deep connections with the creatures it was no secret that without Aurelia, the Serpeverde Family would have little control over them.
Now, Auri was assigned to a small crew led by Bobby Zucco. A name she had heard through the family grapevine but had never formally met until recently.

"That's not good."
Ahhh the life of a Wizard, it can be good. It can be bad. It can just be...well be. There are stories of saviors and of might sages and gurus the world over. But that's what you hear, the stories of the people who do great things.
And then there's the stories of people like this fella. The fella leaning against the side of a small blackened metal safe. Gunmetal grey decorations along the door edges and lock and flywheel to open it. this is the story of a wizarding world safe cracker. Now why would anyone want a safe cracker in the magical world? When you have charms like Alohomora? And when you have spells like Colloportus? Ahhh but sometimes, even a well used lock pick, or the skills to hear the tick of a lock, the slow grinding of a spell to loosen some lock pegs. And the careful motions of a set of unbreakable picks. Oh and lets not forget the careful work of curse breaking, unweaving and unraveling a curse that could flense the flesh from a person, or roast them from the inside.
This is the chosen profession of one Nicodemus "Nico" Karras. Never done an honest days work in his life after graduating from Aglipona School of the Arcane located in wonderful Lakonia, Greece. He was well known as a ratty young man, prone to dueling and being dirty about it even. Also was nearly expelled in his sixth year when he was found to be running a smuggling racket in the dungeons of the old Spartan fortress in the cliffs of Mount Taygetos.
After graduating he and his mother would move to New York, putting down stakes in the neighbourhood around the Five Points, infamous for it's Civil War era crime.
This is where he put his less then stellar abilities to work. First it was to get his name out as the guy who will fence things for you. That watch you stole from the No-Mag? Sure, he can take it, get you a good price for it too. His commission started small. Just 5 percent. And people ate it up. But it was his skills with locks, and unlocking spells and a small packet of charmed lock picks that made him the most bank. You just managed to jack a Pure Bloods locked stachel? Small fortune of Galleons in there? Ten Percent of the take inside, and he can get it open for ya.
He worked as a freelancer for various New York and Manhattan families. They could come to him because he's reliable. Until the Serpeverdes tagged him for another job. Him and a few newbies. Go and shake down a Half Bloods shop. The job went off without a hitch...but one of the new kids sliced open a passerby...who turned out to be a Pure Blood from Britain. And who's family had alot of clout across the pond on both shores. Nico needed to lay low, and seeing the Serpeverdes were the cause of this, he brokered sanctuary with them, in return to work near exclusive with them for atleast 5 years. No big deal right?
And now here comes Bobby Boy Zucco, putting together a crew. And Nico just freshly made to give him some muscle to his word.
