Ghost Traitor
He used to be a third-tier employee in the Ghost's
organization reporting to one of Maru's assistants. He did
a good job, though, and he was promoted to be an assistant
to Maru's counterpart in Louisiana. From here, he helped
direct the operations of the New Orleans mob. His new
position gave him much broader access to the Ghost's secret
files, though, and he saw something that drove him nuts. He
decided to destroy the Ghost - and jail wasn't good enough.
He decided to rat his master out to his worst rivals, the
heads of the Romano and Cormyr families. He was terrified
that anyone he contacted might be in the Ghost's employ,
though, so he insisted on delivering the files in a face to
face meeting with high ranking members of the Families.
Vegas Renegade
A mid-level member of the Vegas mob, he always nursed a secret
hatred of the assassin who killed his brother. That
assassin worked for the now defunct San Antonio mob and is
now retired. Most of the time, she is hidden where the
renegade has never found her, but she always visits Dallas
on the same date each year. Her protection has always been
too good for him to get her. He was bought by Emilio Romano
in exchange for a promise of the assassin's death. He stole
the FBI code books from Vegas and left useless fakes behind
in their place. Once Emilio died, though, he and his
counterpart in New Orleans decided to complete their deals
on their own.
New Orleans Renegade
His grandfather stole a load of Nazi gold and art. It was
hidden in a bank vault until it would "cool off" enough to
be marketable. Before he could redeem it, though, the
grandfather died. The son sold much of his grandfather's
collection of sculpture - not realizing the key to open the
vault was hidden inside one of the pieces. After finding
his father's journal, he attempted to regain the statue - a
grotesque piece depicting a demonic pig - but he never
succeeded. The renegade carries on his father's project of
trying to regain the family's fortune. He traced the statue
to the Romano family, and his price for betraying New
Orleans was that Emilio had to give his the statue. He
explained it was an old family piece he wanted for
sentimental reasons. He stole the NoC reports to give to
Emilio, but got stuck when the old man was murdered.
Whistleblower
An aide worked for a Texas state senator, she stumbled onto
her boss' dealings with the New Orleans mob. He had taken
large bribes to arrange for legalized gambling in Dallas -
under New Orleans' control Outraged, she threatened to
expose him in the press, and he had a hit placed on her.
She realized the people she could most count on being
against the deal were the Dallas mob, so she called her
brother and asked him to arrange a deal. If they would
broker her protection from New Orleans, she'd give them the
evidence.
Denver Negotiator
A representative of the Denver mob, he is in Dallas to bid
against the Romanos to sell a load of forged documents to
the Mexicans. He's also been sleeping with the Mexican
negotiator's teenage daughter.
