Léon San Michelle--Corsican Gangster, heroin pusher, hijacker, diamond thief and the best cleaner from Providence to Las Vegas--put his car through the front window of a pawn shop in a suburb of Chicago. While the paramedics extracted him from the wreckage, a police officer at the scene discovered an intact foam coffee cup filled with Tequila.

Perhaps it was the stars aligning, but as soon as he was taken into custody, Guissepi 'the finger' Craxxi, his second-in-command and head of his crew, turns states evidence, spilling his guts to the FBI. Its the 1980's and the feds are in love with their newly-granted powers through RICO, and they are eager to bury Léon.

Léon has charged the heads of the mafia in America to make these charges disappear by any means necessary, threatening to have his bank books handed over to the feds if anything bad happens to him.

i shall be playing Léon, his attorney, and Craxxi, the witness.

We need:
Federal Prosecutor
various police/FBI agents
Heads of the Mafia
Judge
And others i have not thought of



A Bried Biography of Leon:

Born in the 1930s to a Corsican smuggler, Leon was somewhat of a troublemaker. He did not actually cause much trouble in school as he was rarely in school, instead opting to "educate himself" and attempt to con the school children out of their lunches. When he was 15, his father was murdered by corrupt police officers whom he had failed to pay off. Leon fled to France and ended up joining the French Foreign Legion, where he eventually served in the battle of Dien Bien Phu. After his commanding officer and most of his unit was killed, he was discharged after receiving mild injuries.

After using the money he earned as a Legionarre to enter the United States, Leon once again joined the military. For his knowledge of the battle of Dien Bien Phu, he was guaranteed a non-fighting position and US Citizenship after the war. He was trained to fly medivac helicopters, but in 1964, his helicopter was shot down. He held off Viet Cong for several hours until a special operations team was able to extract him and the wounded. These actions earned him a purple heart and a silver star.

Industriously, Leon continued his father's business and cultivated contacts in Vietnam for opium, which he then used a small network of couriers to bring to the United States. He was eventually court marshalled, but there was not enough evidence to convict him, so Leon received an honorable discharge and his US citizenship.

Leon initially settled in New Orleans, where he used the money he had saved as a soldier to bankroll a small air freight company which he used to smuggle drugs and other goods into the US. His activities eventually garnered the attention of The Families, but after a spectacular assasination of a particularly stubborn associate of the mob in broad daylight, Leon soon became a sought after contract killer. His frequent travelling for hits also allowed him to gradually expand his personal drug network, and his air freight company also allowed him to get inside information on which flights were carrying the most valuable cargo. He was heavily believed to have been behind the heist of flight 7644 from Tel Aviv through Brussels, in which $4 million in diamonds and $500,000 cash were stolen.

Leon previously had rarely ever faced trial because of his lawyer, also his second cousin living in America, who Leon bankrolled through the Georgetown School of Law, turned the trial into a circus. It became a media fiasco, with Leon winning the hearts of the jury and many others present by standing on his service in Vietnam, claiming that he was a dying breed of Americans who had fought for liberty abroad and would fight for it here.

Presently, Leon is attempting to scale down his operations, in light of the new RICO laws. His trip to Chicago was to simply sever his ties to the local drug lords. He has succesfully purchased a small chain of restraunts operating on the East Coast, but has several larger legitimate businesses in mind which he has yet to mention to anyone.

This will indeed be in Chicago. My only requirement is that the mafiosi have some tie to Léon, whether he smuggled or killed for them, or just paid them off so his operations would be untouched.

Realistically, you could be a member of his crew. Like a hitman. Write up a bio and I'll say if its ok.

We always need an FBI agent. Leon will probably make mischief during the trial.

if leon is italian then he be a Capo or if he is french he be associate member and he can have Connection to my family

Leon is Corsican, which is now technically part of Italy, but all the same he would not be allowed to become a made man in the mob. All I need now is a character bio (for the head of the family) and how Leon is connected to them.

Since Leon is not in the mafia, he'll take anyone who is reliable.

Name: Jack Connelly J.R.
Age: 31
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 195
Position: Contract Killer/member of Leon’s crew.
Bio:

Jack Connelly J.R. is a man that was spawned by abuse and violence. Jack’s father was an alcoholic police officer that often beat his son for the smallest infraction to his rules or in some cases for no reason at all. Jack’s mother was domineering and also provided no comfort to her abused son and would merely sneer at him and say, “you must have dissevered it.” This terrible family atmosphere provided Jack a sense of self reliance and a terrible outlook on human life. Jack because of his weakened position from constantly being beaten was an easy target for bullies and other predators on the streets of Hell’s Kitchen.


This terrible pattern of life continued until Jack reached the age of sixteen and stole his father’s service revolver. The bullies that normally would harass Jack meet him behind their usual alley way ready to beat him and steal his milk money, however this time Jack shoot all four of them in an executioner style. The four shoots were aimed for the head and were meant to look like a sophisticated hit.

Jack had planned this hit for weeks and quickly ditched his father’s revolver in a nearby dumpster and casually walked to school leaving the dead bodies in the alley way for the locals to find in a matter of a few minutes.

Jack merely walked away from the scene seemingly like an innocent bystander everyone figure this was the work of the Genovese mob. The bullies were well known low level hoods of the Westies Gang that had been causing trouble in the neighborhood. The way this had played out it would seem like the Genoveses could have decided to get rid of them to send a message about who really controlled the Kitchen.


Jack’s father however was not so easily fooled and quickly figured out that his son had murdered the four hoods. He figured this out when his Revolver was found in the dumpster with four bullets emptied from the chamber. It was no surprise that the bullets matched the ones fired into the bodies of the dead men. Jack Connelly Senior decided that his son was to dangerous and kicked him out of his home at the age of sixteen.


Jack Connelly J.R. lived on the streets as a minor street thug working independently for both the Westies Gang and the Genovese Family. He started out small extorting money from local mom and pop shops to dealing in heroin on the streets. Jack found his true calling at the age of 20 after he gained criminal notoriety for his private execution of Jimmy “The Knife” Feranelli a low level member of the Bonanno Family.

This one major act prompted Jack Connelly into the world of freelance contract killing. The Genoveses gave Jack his first official job in Miami his target was Pedro a mid level drug dealer that had ripped off the Genovese family. Jack was to make sure Pedro “disappeared” from public life permanently. The job was not to hard Jack merely pulled up to Pedro’s home and broke in from the back door around the midnight and waited for Pedro to come back home from his favorite night club.

Pedro came home around four in the morning and received a surprise as a 9mm Beretta pistol took him down upon entering his home. Jack quickly rolled Pedro's body up in a carpet and put his covered body in the trunk of his car and drove off leaving the blood trail behind.

Pedro’s body was never found but it is rumored that Jack’s car was last seen near a butcher shop at the other side of town about two hours after the job was performed.

This became Jack’s life for the rest of his life, until that fateful day he went down to New Orleans to perform a Job for the Gambino Family. The Job took a bit longer to perform but the extra time down their managed to give him time to network with some of the local mobsters and to meet Leon.

Leon seemed like a standup guy to Jack and best of all he was not considered a made guy. This gave Jack a kind of kinship with Leon and provided a slightly higher sense of trust with the Irish hitman. Leon managed to convince Jack to work for him as full time muscle and as a private hitter for special jobs that needed to be kept on the low.


This relationship worked well for Connelly until Guissepi 'the finger' Craxxi betrayed the Crew and Leon with going stateside. Jack fearing that his set position as one of Leon’s men will get him arrested and sent to the chair has begun to plot the death of Guissepi in a way befitting a rat….
