Profile:
"Down Neck"
When you’re born one of seven, it’s almost a given that you are born with a need to prove yourself. Compared to his siblings, Vincent was always the black sheep. This wasn’t because of his chosen profession, oh no, his entire family were a bunch of criminals. No, Vinnie was the black sheep because of how he went about it. Studious and ambitious, as soon as he was old enough to read Vincent immersed himself in literature. He found solace and tranquillity from the chaos of his world in the words of William Shakespeare or Jack Kerouac. Far from antisocial, Vincent was arguably the most popular of the Fortuna siblings; naturally athletic with a soft, charming charisma and soulful blue eyes, he was popular with everyone and he often used this to his advantage. It was this popularity with girls that earned him the nickname “The Handsome Devil” (a nickname he is still known by on the streets, with people very rarely using his true name). The problem with Vinnie was of course the fact that he was a complete psychopath, devoid of empathy or true feeling. Joining his father’s gang at twelve and making his first kill at thirteen will do that to a kid.
Consigliere
Rather than drop out of school like most young criminals, Vincent actually pursued education. After graduating high school he moved on through college and Law School. Graduating from Harvard he returned home to New Jersey and began properly working for his mother who had taken over the family. Working as his mother’s Consigliere, Vincent got a look first-hand how a criminal empire was run. Eventually the Handsome Devil moved on to New York and joined up with the famed DeStefano family. It didn’t take long for the cunning and ruthless Vinnie to work his way into the inner circle of the boss. That was until, the police came crashing down on the family. An undercover cop had brought down the entire operation, the only man to walk out unscathed was Vincent. He was too smart for them, no one could pin a thing on him.
Devil May Care
Moving on, Vincent joined up with the Scaletta family in Chicago. Whilst there, he met the Don’s daughter, Elizabeth and the two married and had a daughter, Lyndsey. Although it was love for Liz, for Vinnie it was a marriage of convenience, marrying her, guaranteed him power. Eventually though, Elizabeth grew tired of her father and set in motion a plan to take over his family. The result was a bloodbath. Unable to comprehend his wife’s stupidity, Vincent left with Lyndsey. Finding love again, Vinnie and his new family moved to Justice, California. Finally ready to take the seat as the head of his own family, Vincent set up a chain of events that resulted in the biggest crime wave Justice had ever seen. After a while, the authorities began to close in, so Vincent and his family left.
Punishment Waltz
Now returning after a seven year absence, Vincent and his new organisation are ready to take over Justice once and for all, unfortunately, the only thing standing in his way is the Triad…
