Mario Vincelli

Summary

You are the leader of a group of New Orleans mobsters. You don't take guff from anyone. You do respect the fact that there is another family in Dallas, though, and will treat them with the proper courtesy if you meet up with them. Your primary objective is to meet with the Las Vegas representatives and get the codebooks which will let you decode NoC reports, which were recently stolen from the FBI's computers and you acquired.

Goals

Exchange a copy of the NoC reports with the Las Vegas mob in exchange for the code book
Decode the NoC reports to uncover any FBI plants in your organization
Be sure the code book is legitimate before you let Vegas have the reports

History

After many years of faithful service to the New Orleans mob, you were put in charge of the group you now lead. You're still relatively new with each other, but you all have long ties to the New Orleans organization.

Recently, other members of your organization arranged for the theft of the ultra-secret NoC (Name of Covert) reports from the FBI computers. With this information, you would be able to uncover many, if not all, of the undercover FBI agents in multiple crime syndicates around the world. The value of that information would be incalculable. Unfortunately, your bosses' plans met with a hitch when, due to a clerical error, the Las Vegas syndicate managed to purchase the codebooks required to decode the encrypted reports. Gritting your teeth, you contacted the Las Vegas kingpin (Antonin Cormyr) and arranged an exchange with representatives from his organization.

Since you have little reason to trust Corymr's agents, you have arranged to use Winston Maru, a prominent local businessman in Dallas, as a neutral third party to negotiate the exchange. Mr. Maru has implied that he might bring some extra muscle along to make sure that nothing untoward happens. Your organization has worked with Mr. Maru in the past, and he has always kept his word and dealt honorably.

Role-Playing Tips

Mario is fairly new to being in charge, but he's an old hat at Mafia business. You're not afraid or unwilling to bash a few heads if it's needed, but as time has gone on you've seen that more sophisticated methods are often more effective at getting what you want done. You understand the significance of the NoC reports, though, and will do almost anything to acquire them for your organization.

People You Know

Winston Maru, a corrupt Dallas businessman: You have never met him, but you have met people who have. He is a businessman, doing business on both sides of the fence. A little scrutiny into his affairs has shown you an impeccable organization with no evidence of criminal activity.
Helen Spencer, the Las Vegas representative: She's the leader of the group Las Vegas is sending to the exchange. You're a bit surprised to find a woman in charge of such a group, but hey, it's the 90's. You know nothing about her personally.
Lorenzo Romano, the Dallas godfather: The aged but still sharp Patriarch of the Dallas mob. He has shown a tremendous amount of competence in managing his organization. You can't help but respect him.
Louis LeBlanc, one of your people: One of your teammates. He's particularly sensitive about the pronunciation of his name .. it's "Loo-ey", not "Loo-is". He's been known to send people to the hospital for less cause than mangling his name, so you make sure to get it right. He's you're "second".
Piotr Malkevich, one of your people: Another one of your teammates. He's very quiet .. but he never misses a thing. Or a shot.
Jason Reed, one of your people: The newcomer to your squad, you don't really know him. He has risen through the ranks, though, just like you did. Hey, at least they're letting him out of the city, so he must have impressed someone.
