Summary

You're a member of Estanza's up-and-coming crime syndicate in Dallas. He seems to be going places, so you stick with him.

Goals

History

Even before you dropped out of school, you get into a lot of trouble. You LIKE running with a bad crowd. You got your first shady career spot working as a dealer in the Gustavo twins' illegal casino. When they got busted, you managed to get clear. You drifted for a bit, and now you've hooked on with Carlos Estanza. He has big dreams about founding a crime syndicate to take on the Romano family - the longtime rulers of Dallas crime. You brought in a friend of yours, Felicia Blank, and now you're part of the core team.

Most of the work Estanza's getting right now is either smuggling or mercenary stuff. The first kind is safer and less bloody, but the heavy stuff pays so nicely. Estanza handles all the business arrangements. Truth be told, he acts a lot like he thinks he's your father or something. He's bossy, and he only takes suggestions if you kiss his ass a little.

Things got really exciting yesterday (Note: "yesterday" means "the day before the game"). Estanza got a rush job on a series of hits. First, you and Umbar had to go nail a junior member of the Romano family. That was no big deal; Umbar just popped the guy as he came out of a club. You made it look like a mugging by taking his cash and tossing the body in a dumpster. While you were doing that, Estanza and Blank were off nailing Emilio Romano - one of the original founders. Estanza says it was a piece of cake, but Blank told you on the sly that they nearly got their asses nailed.

Now, you've got to go do two MORE people. You've got to intercept a meeting at a coffee shop and shoot both the people involved. You're also supposed to bring back any documents you find on the bodies. Looks like things are definitely taking off!

Role-Playing Tips

You're loyal to Estanza, but his attitude annoys you sometimes. As long as you act like you're not pushing too hard, he generally accepts ideas. If he pats you on the ass and calls you "Sugar" once more, though, you may have to scream. Still, sexist or not, his coattails are definitely looking like the place to be.

People You Know

Carlos Estanza, the boss
He's a visionary and a real go-getter. It's exciting being part of a team that's moving up in the world so quickly. He's a bit of a sexist boor, but he's good at finding work. And, while HE can be a jerk sometimes, he'll kill anybody who so much as lays a finger on any of his people.

Lorenzo Romano, the head of the Romano family
Everyone says he used to be a major bad-ass, but now he's just an old man. Rumor has it he's planning to retire soon. So long, Grandpa!

Lorenzo Romano, Jr., the eldest Romano kid
Junior's the oldest of old Lorenzo's kids, but he's managed to piss off most of his elders in the Family. Estanza's had you guys do jobs for him several times.

Vittoria Romano, Junior's sister
She apparently runs the Romanos' books for them. Accounting, paperwork, and crap like that. No wonder the Family's going down. You can't get all hidebound like that.

Danny Romano, Junior's brother
The only one of the kids to ever do time, the word on the street is that Danny's a loser.

Emilio Romano, a corpse
About a million years ago, he apparently helped Lorenzo found the Family. Last night, Estanza and Blank helped him into retirement.

Luigi Romano, a corpse
Some relation of the Romanos. Estanza got a contract on him, and last night you and Umbar (well, mostly Umbar) disposed of him. Bad night for the Romanos, you guess.

Gina Umbar, Estanza's lieutenant
Gina's a very cool customer. She's mellow, but she's always in control of the situation. When the time comes for action, she never hesitates. You're glad she's on the team.

Felicia Blank, another teammate
You met Blank back when she was waiting tables at the Gustavos' place. You hit it off pretty well, so when you found this deal with Estanza, you brought her in.

Winston Maru, a businessman
Maru runs some big shipping company, and he's thrown a lot of work Estanza's way.

Your First Meet

You'll be looking for the targets of that contract. However, your team needs to get assembled first. You should meet one of the gods at 0900 at the Aroma's coffee shop. It is located in a strip mall at the NE corner of Beltline and Prestonwood (just east of the Prestonwood mall).
