Spy Bio

Natasha Ivanova Stroyev

Summary

You are a henchman for the Dallas-based Romano crime family. You are currently assigned to the youngest of the Godfather's children, Danny, but your loyalty is to the Family rather than any one person.

Goals

History

A second generation immigrant from the Soviet Union, you drifted for several years before hooking on with the Romano family in Dallas. While your rank in the Family is low, they take good care of their people, so you feel a certain measure of loyalty and security. You want what is best for the Family, and you have no strong loyalty to any one member of it. You are currently assigned to the detail protecting Danny, the youngest of the Godfather's three children.

Role-Playing Tips

As a henchman, you're a follower rather than a leader. That doesn't mean you should blindly obey orders, though. If you have a better suggestion, most of the Romanos are mature enough to accept advice - provided they don't think you're trying to boss them around.

Your loyalty ultimately belongs to the Family, so if you conclude that your team leader is acting against the Family's interests, then you need to decide what to do in response. However, it's almost unthinkable that they would act against the Family's interests, so it probably won't come up. So long as they're not over the line, you should support, protect, and obey your Family member.

People You Know

Lorenzo Romano, the Godfather
The powerful (if aging) leader of the Romano family. He's a frightening figure, but you rarely need to interact with him directly. When you have had to speak with him, he's been kindly and open-minded.

Lorenzo Romano, Jr., a Romano contender
The oldest of the Godfather's three kids, he's arrogant and aggressive. He's also the most go-getter of the children. If he leads the Family, you can expect aggressive expansion and no-nonsense policies.

Vittoria Romano, a Romano contender
Lorenzo's second child, she's a cold fish who runs the Family books. She's the only one of the three with good detail management skills. With her as leader, the Family would be perfectly organized, but you're not sure it would actually DO anything.

Danny Romano, a Romano contender
The youngest of the three children, he's probably the nicest of the three. He spent several years in jail, but he's back in the saddle now. The Family would probably be the most congenial under his leadership, but you wonder if he's got the maturity and ruthlessness needed to run things.

Emilio Romano, Lorenzo's brother
Word has it, the kindly old geezer is actually the Family's master spy.

Mario Testino, Vickie's lieutenant
Vittoria's chief sidekick.

Gunther Patmos, Junior's lieutenant
Junior's chief sidekick.

Vincent Vero, Danny's new pal
Some guy Danny met in prison. He's officially just another henchman, but there's something odd about him.

Your First Meet

Dad has called one of his quasi-regular Family breakfast meetings, and the kids all have to attend. So, you need to report to the IHOP on Beltline near Marsh at 0930.
