primo cardamone
FIFTY-NINE YEARS OLD | MOB BOSS
IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD PATRIARCH, EVERYONE GOES TO HIM
FOR HELP, AND USUALLY, HE COMES THROUGH FOR THEM. IS
CHARACTERISTIC, PERSONABLE, VERY EASY TO LIKE. MAKES
FRIENDS WITH NEARLY EVERYONE, THINKS OF IT AS "INSURANCE"
FOR THE FUTURE. KNOWS THAT IF A BOSS DOESN'T HAVE THE
NECESSARY CONNECTIONS, HE WON'T LAST LONG. HASN'T PUT
MUCH THOUGHT TO WHO HE'S GOING TO HAND THE MOB OVER
TO WHEN HE RETIRES, DOESN'T LIKE TO THINK ABOUT BEING
OUT OF THE MOB. GREW UP AROUND IT, IT'S THE ONLY LIFE
THAT HE KNOWS. ISN'T VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE OTHER MOBS,
KNOWS THAT THE ITALIANS ALWAYS PULL THROUGH IN THE END.
IS VERY FOND OF GUISEPPE RIZZO.
PLAYED BY ROBERT DENIRO

baptist serafino
FIFTY YEARS OLD | CONSIGLIERE
ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE TESTING OTHERS FOR WEAKNESS, IS
PROBABLY THE ONE PERSON THAT NO ONE WANTS TO SLIP UP
IN FRONT OF. IS VERY SUSPICIOUS OF OTHERS, THOUGH HE'LL
OFTEN PLAY THE "NICE GUY" ROUTINE. HAPPENS TO BE MORE
RUTHLESS THAN PRIMO, BUT HIS JUDGMENT IS WISE AND HE'S
RESPECTED BY EVERYONE WHO COMES ACROSS HIM. ONCE
LOVED THE SISTER OF BROGAN KILPATRICK WHEN HE WAS
YOUNGER, BUT BROGAN SENT HER AWAY TO IRELAND TO KEEP
HER FROM BAPTIST. HAS THUS SWORN TO GET VENGEANCE
AGAINST THE KILPATRICK FAMILY, PERHAPS BY TAKING ONE
OF THEIR OWN. DOESN'T KNOW THAT HIS AFFAIR WITH BROGAN'S
SISTER PRODUCED A CHILD (ISOLDE BRONTË). ALSO DOESN'T
KNOW THAT HIS FORMER LOVE HAS BEEN DEAD FOR MANY
YEARS. HAS A WEIRD THING FOR CLEANLINESS.
PLAYED BY AL PACINO

valente cardamone
TWENTY-SIX YEARS OLD | CAPTAIN
IS THE OLDEST SON OF PRIMO CARDAMONE, AND THE MOST
TEMPERAMENTAL. DOESN'T EVEN BOTHER TO KEEP A HANDLE
ON HIS TEMPER PROBLEMS. WANTS TO TAKE OVER THE MOB
BUT KNOWS THAT NEITHER HIS FATHER OR BAPTIST SERAFINO
TRUST HIM. HAS A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THE THINGS THAT HIS
FATHER HAS DONE, BUT HE BELIEVES THAT PRIMO IS TOO OLD
TO RUN THE MOB. PLANS TO GET RID OF SERAFINO AS SOON
AS HE COMES TO POWER. IS TOO MUCH OF A WOMANIZER FOR
HIS OWN GOOD, TREATS WOMEN LIKE PROPERTY, BELIEVES HE
CAN HAVE ANY OF THEM THAT HE CHOOSES. SPENDS MOST
OF HIS TIME, WHEN HE'S NOT HANDLING BUSINESS FOR THE
FAMILY, LIVING THE LIFE OF AN INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOY.
KILLED THE FRIEND OF JERICHO RIVERA, ONLY KNOWS HER
AS SOMEONE WHO TESTIFIED AGAINST HIM.
PLAYED BY JAMIE DORNAN

alfio cardamone
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD | CAPTAIN
DOESN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THE MAFIA BUSINESS, THOUGH
HE ENJOYS THE MONEY THAT COMES FROM IT. CHALLENGES
ANY FORM OF AUTHORITY, PATHOLOGICALLY INCAPABLE OF
FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS. IF HE'S TOLD TO DO ONE THING, HE
DOES SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY, BASED UPON HIS JUDGMENT.
ALWAYS THINKS THAT HE KNOWS BEST, AND SOMETIMES HE
DOES, BUT ACCORDING TO THE HIGHER POWERS OF THE MOB,
IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER. IS OFTEN MORE CUNNING
THAN PEOPLE GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR. KNOWS HOW TO WORK
ANY SITUATION, REGARDLESS OF WHO'S INVOLVED. WOULD
BE AN INGENIOUS CON ARTIST. CAN ADAPT TO SITUATIONS;
IS A SOCIAL CHAMELEON. DOESN'T MIND CHANGING WHO HE
IS TO GET WHAT HE WANTS.
PLAYED BY JAMES FRANCO

zeno cardamone
TWENTY-THREE YEARS OLD | BOOK KEEPER
THE YOUNGEST OF THE CARDAMONE SONS. IS QUIET, BOOKISH,
MORE CEREBRAL THAN HIS TWO BROTHERS. KEEPS THE BOOKS
FOR THE ITALIAN MOB; IT'S THE ONLY INVOLVEMENT THAT HE'LL
ACCEPT. DOESN'T WEAR ROSE-COLORED GLASSES WHEN IT
COMES TO THE "FAMILY BUSINESS". KNOWS ABOUT THE THINGS
THAT THEY'VE DONE, AND HATES THEM. BECAUSE OF THE FACT
THAT HE PREFERS TO TALK TO THE MOB COURTESANS, RATHER
THAN SLEEPING WITH THEM, HIS BROTHERS OFTEN REFER TO
HIM AS THE FAMILY HOMOSEXUAL, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE
ISN'T GAY. BECAUSE OF THAT, HAS, ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION
GOTTEN INTO PHYSICAL ALTERCATIONS WITH HIS BROTHERS,
BECAUSE HE, LIKE ALL CARDAMONE MEN, INHERITED THEIR
CHARACTERISTIC TEMPER.
PLAYED BY JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT

cosima cardamone
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD | UNEMPLOYED
IS FIRST COUSIN TO PRIMO CARDAMONE, SECOND TO HIS SONS.
SHOWS A KEEN INTEREST IN THE MOB BUSINESS, ONLY BECAUSE
SHE WANTS TO FIND OUT IF THE THINGS THAT ARE SAID ABOUT IT
ARE TRUE. TENDS TO BE INTIMIDATINGLY QUIET, ONLY SPEAKS
WHEN SHE DEEMS IT NECESSARY. IS VERY RELIGIOUS, THOUGH
SHE ISN'T ONE OF THOSE CATHOLICS WHO ONLY SEEMS TO BE
ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THE BIBLE. STILL, SHE DOESN'T PARTY OR
SLEEP AROUND, BUT THAT ISN'T SO MUCH THE BIBLE AS IT IS THE
FACT THAT SHE'S MORALLY STABLE. SPENDS A LOT OF HER TIME
VOLUNTEERING AT HOMELESS SHELTERS OR SOUP KITCHENS,
FOLLOWING, AS SHE SAYS, "CHRIST'S EXAMPLE". IS STAYING WITH
HER COUSINS BECAUSE OF THE RECENT MURDER OF HER MOTHER
AND FATHER. HER PARENTS HAD HER LATE IN THEIR MARRIAGE;
WERE IN THEIR FIFTIES WHEN SHE WAS BORN. HER FATHER WAS
IN THE MOB BUSINESS, RETIRED WHEN SHE WAS TEN YEARS OLD.
PLAYED BY CAMERON RUSSELL

guiseppe rizzo
TWENTY-SIX YEARS OLD | CAPTAIN
IS CALLED 'BEPPE' BY NEARLY EVERYONE, IS VERY CLOSE
TO PRIMO CARDAMONE, THE BOSS SEEMS TO BE ODDLY
FOND OF HIM. IS A VERY TRUSTWORTHY SORT OF PERSON,
MOST ARE ABLE TO TELL THAT OF HIM EASILY. IS A VERY
GOOD LIAR, IS VERY PRACTICED AT THE TRADE. HAPPENS
TO HAVE EXTRAORDINARY AIM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
ITS SHOOTING A GUN OR THROWING A PAPER BALL INTO A
TRASHCAN; IT'S UNCANNY. IS NICE TO EVERYONE HE MEETS,
UNLESS THEY GIVE HIM A REASON TO BE CRUEL (IN WHICH
CASE, HE DOESN'T MIND PLAYING THEIR GAME). HAS ALWAYS
BEEN UNUSUALLY SMART, IS EXTRAORDINARY WITH NUMBERS,
THOUGH HE'S STILL WILLING TO ASK PEOPLE TO STEP OUT-
SIDE TO "CONTINUE" THEIR CONVERSATION.
PLAYED BY CHRIS EVANS

vito colombo
THIRTY YEARS OLD | SOLDIER
ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE STARTING A FIGHT, OR THREATENING
TO KICK SOMEONE'S ASS. THAT'D BE ALL FINE AND DANDY,
EXCEPT HE USUALLY FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH HIS THREATS.
ISN'T AFRAID OF ANYONE, NO MATTER HOW HIGH UP, AND
ONLY WATCHES HIS MOUTH AROUND CERTAIN ITALIAN MOB-
STERS BECAUSE HE RESPECTS THEM. IS VERY CRUDE, WILL
WHISTLE AT AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN, OR EVEN COP A FEEL
(ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS). IS REALLY NOT AS MUCH OF A
DOUCHEBAG AS HE MAKES HIMSELF OUT TO BE (THOUGH
YOU'D BE HARD-PRESSED TO EVER FIND THAT FACT OUT
ABOUT HIM). HE'S GIVEN UP ON MOST OF HIS HOPES FOR
THE FUTURE, BECAUSE HE BELIEVES THAT GUYS LIKE HIM
DON'T GET THE PICKET FENCE FUTURE. IT'LL ALWAYS BE
TOUGH FOR HIM, AND HE'S STRANGELY COMFORTABLE
WITH THAT FACT.
PLAYED BY BEN AFFLECK

cole romano
TWENTY-THREE YEARS OLD | ENFORCER
IN HIS LATE TEENS, HIS BROTHER (WHO WAS, IN ALL
SERIOUSNESS, MILDLY RETARDED) WAS HIT BY A SUBWAY
TRAIN RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. BEFORE THAT, HE WAS
COCKY AND LOUD, BUT IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, THERE'S
BEEN A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN HIS PERSONALITY. HE ISN'T
NECESSARILY QUIET, BUT HE'S DEFINITELY MORE THOUGHT-
FUL THAN BEFORE. HIS BOSSES OFTEN WONDER IF HE'LL
BE TOUGH ENOUGH FOR THE JOB (NOW THAT HE'S GONE
ALL PHILOSOPHICAL ON THEM), BUT HE PERFORMS JUST
AS WELL AS HE DID BEFORE. HE PRACTICES PARKOUR
(LOOK IT UP IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS), SO HE'S
THE ITALIAN MOB'S PRIME GUY IF A CHASE OR QUICK
GETAWAY IS EVER REQUIRED. SUFFERS FROM PANIC
ATTACKS AND INSOMNIA, THOUGH NONE OF THE OTHER
MOBSTERS HAVE EVER SEEN HIM EXPERIENCE AN
ATTACK.
PLAYED BY CHANNING TATUM

michelangelo d'medici
TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OLD | STREET ARTIST
GOES BY 'MICHEL,' (MY-KAL) ENJOYS HAVING A BOY'S NAME,
THOUGH MOST GIRLS WOULD FIND IT IRRITATING. LIKE HER
OLDER SISTER, SHE ISN'T THE TYPICAL FEMALE. ISN'T OVERLY
MASCULINE, BUT SHE HATES ANYTHING GIRLY. MAKES A
LIVING DRAWING QUICKIE PORTRAITS (SOME CARICATURES,
SOME SERIOUS) OF PEOPLE ON THE STREET. INTERACTS
BETTER WITH ADULTS, WHILE HER SISTER SPECIALIZES
WITH SMALL CHILDREN. THEIR FATHER IS CURRENTLY A
MEMBER OF THE ITALIAN MOB, BUT AS A SENIOR MEMBER.
MICHEL DOESN'T SPEAK TO HER FATHER ANYMORE DUE
TO AN AGE-OLD TENSION BETWEEN THEM, BUT HER
SISTER REMAINS VERY CLOSE TO HIM. SHARES A SMALL
APARTMENT IN DOWNTOWN WITH HER SISTER. IS THE
STUBBORN OF THE PAIR, WILL STICK TO A SINKING SHIP
DUE TO HER PRIDE. IS VERY MUCH LIKE HER FATHER,
WHICH IS WHY THEY DON'T GET ALONG.
PLAYED BY KATE BOSWORTH

leonardo d'medici
TWENTY-SIX YEARS OLD | STREET ILLUSIONIST
GOES BY 'LEO,' AND, LIKE HER SISTER, LIKES HAVING THE
NAME OF A BOY. IS VERY CLOSE TO HER SISTER, THOUGH
SHE FEARS THEIR RELATIONSHIP. MICHEL, BEING THE MORE
SOCIAL OF THE TWO, SHE FEELS, IS NOT DEPENDENT ON
HER, BUT LEO BELIEVES THAT SHE'S DEPENDENT ON HER
YOUNGER SISTER. IS VERY GOOD WITH SMALL CHILDREN,
THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO LOVE HER. CAN DO SOME PRETTY
IMPRESSIVE MAGIC TRICKS, THOUGH IT'S ONLY SMALL TIME
(CARD TRICKS, THE DISAPPEARING COIN, ETC). SHE'S VERY
INVENTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO CREATING NEW TRICKS. A
LOW BUDGET IS THE ONLY THING THAT HOLDS HER BACK.
DOESN'T ACCEPT MONEY FROM HER FATHER, WHO'S A
MEMBER OF THE MOB, BASED UPON PRINCIPLE, BUT SHE'S
VERY CLOSE TO HIM. HE'S IN THE MID STAGES OF ALZHEIMER'S,
AND SHE TAKES CARE OF HIM ON THE WEEKENDS. IS
VERY SENSITIVE, SHY, EASILY HURT. HAS A CERTAIN
DEGREE OF MYSTERY ABOUT HER, THOUGH SHE'S
APPARENTLY UNAWARE OF IT.
PLAYED BY LIV TYLER

antonio minx
FORTY-NINE YEARS OLD | CAPTAIN
IS HALF ITALIAN, BUT VERY IN TOUCH WITH THAT SIDE OF
HIS HERITAGE; SPEAKS ITALIAN FLUENTLY AND VISITS THE
COUNTRY EVER SUMMER WITH HIS DAUGHTER, ARLO, WHO
HE'S VERY CLOSE TO. ALONG WITH THE ITALIAN CULTURE,
ALSO LOVES THE FRENCH CULTURE. LISTENS TO FRENCH
& ITALIAN MUSIC PASSIONATELY. IN SPITE OF HIS VERY
ARISTOCRATIC BEARING, HE'S IN FACT A HARDENED MOB-
STER. IS CALLED "THE FINGER" BECAUSE HIS FAVORITE
METHOD OF LENDING MEN THE INCENTIVE THEY NEED
TO PAY BACK THE MOB IS REMOVING FINGERS. DOESN'T
TAKE ANY SHIT FROM THE CARDAMONE SONS AND IS
RESPECTED ENOUGH BY THEIR FATHER THAT HE'S
FULLY ALLOWED TO TELL THEM EXACTLY WHAT HE
THINKS OF THEM WHEN THEY MANAGE TO IRRITATE HIM.
ONLY SMOKES THE FINEST CUBAN CIGARS AND DRINKS
THE MOST EXPENSIVE WINE. HAS HIS DAUGHTER DRIVE
FOR HIM WHEN HE GOES ON JOBS, BECAUSE HE FINDS
HER MORE APT THAN THE BUMBLING IDIOTS HE'S
USUALLY SENT WITH, TREATS HER LIKE A SON.
PLAYED BY ANDY GARCIA

arlo minx
TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD | GYMNAST
WAS NAMED ARLO AFTER HER MATERNAL GRANDFATHER,
WHO SHE NEVER MET. IS 3/4 ITALIAN, AS HER FATHER
MARRIED A FULL-BLOODED ITALIAN, WHO DIED WHEN
ARLO WAS TWELVE. AFTER THAT, SHE TOOK ALL OF
HER PAIN AND ANGER OUT IN THE GYM, TRAINING RIGOR-
OUSLY. WHEN SHE WAS FOURTEEN, SHE AND HER
FATHER MOVED TO ROME, WHERE SHE LIVED UNTIL
HER EARLY TWENTIES. SPEAKS ITALIAN AND FRENCH
AS WELL AS SHE DOES ENGLISH. IS CURRENTLY
TRAINING FOR THE OLYMPICS. DRIVES HER FATHER
TO "JOBS," BUT SHE'S NEVER ACTUALLY WITNESSED
OR TAKEN PART IN ANY VIOLENCE. SIMPLY WAITS
IN THE CAR UNTIL HE'S FINISHED. CONSIDERS HER
FATHER HER BEST FRIEND, ISN'T BOTHERED BY
WHAT HE DOES FOR A LIVING, THINKS ANYONE
WHO HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE MOB IS SERIOUSLY
DELUDED, BECAUSE THERE ARE MUCH WORSE
TRAGEDIES IN THE WORLD THAT ORGANIZED CRIME.
PLAYED BY JESSICA BIEL

tyler wilco
TWENTY-SIX YEARS OLD | DRUG DEALER
IS RARELY SEEN SOBER, HITS A JOINT AT LEAST ONCE A
DAY, AND OFTEN IN PUBLIC. HANGS OUT OUTSIDE OF THE
FRANKLIN CORNER STORE, SLINGING DRUGS FOR THE
ITALIANS, BECAUSE HIS BEST FRIEND AND "BUSINESS
PARTNER" ROB GIORDANO IS RELATED TO A CAPTAIN,
AND BECAUSE HIS FAVORITE PLACE TO CHILL IS IN THEIR
TERRITORY. CUSSES PRETTY MUCH EVERY OTHER WORD,
AND IS PROBABLY THE CRUDEST PERSON TO WALK THE
FACE OF THE EARTH. HITS ON ANYTHING OF THE FEMALE
VARIETY. A LOT OF THE STUFF HE SAYS MAKES VERY
LITTLE SENSE, BE IT EITHER BECAUSE HE'S STONED OUT
OF HIS MIND, OR BECAUSE HE'S JUST PLAIN WEIRD. HAS
A KNACK FOR SEXUALLY HARASSING WOMEN IN A VERY
CONFUSING WAY. OFTEN FINDS HIMSELF AT THE SCENES
OF VERY VIOLENT CRIMES.
PLAYED BY JASON MEWES

rob giordano
THIRTY YEARS OLD | DRUG DEALER
DEALS DRUGS OUTSIDE OF THE FRANKLIN CORNER STORE

TALKS UNLESS HE HAS SOMETHING VERY INSIGHTFUL TO
SAY. TYLER HANDLES THE MONEY, WHILE ROB CARRIES
THE DRUGS THEMSELVES. IS THE NEPHEW OF AN ITALIAN
CAPTAIN, BUT OTHER THAN THE MINOR DRUG TRADE, HE
DOESN'T GET INVOLVED WITH MOB BUSINESS. ALWAYS
WEARS A TRENCH COAT. IS A COMIC BOOK JUNKIE, HAS
READ NEARLY EVERY COMIC BOOK MARVEL & DC HAVE
PUT OUT. NEVER BELIEVES TYLER'S STRANGE CONSPIRACY
THEORIES, BUT GOES ALONG WITH THEM ANYWAY, JUST
TO HUMOR HIM. IS VERY CALM WHEN HE'S HIGH, THOUGH
HE DOES FIND RANDOM THINGS VERY FUNNY. HAS A
TALENT FOR AVOIDING THE POLICE.

MASSIVE HEART ATTACK, HAS YET TO GAIN THE RESPECT OF
THE OLDER MOB MEMBERS. IS COLD AND RUTHLESS, AS WELL
AS EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE, BUT IS OVERALL WELL-EQUIPPED
TO RUN THE MOB. VIEWS CERTAIN THINGS AS DUTY, SO HE'S
ABLE TO STEEL HIMSELF FOR TERRIBLE JOBS, RARELY SEEMS
EFFECTED BY ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY VIOLENCE. LOVES HIS
WIFE, ZINAIDA, BUT ISN'T EXACTLY GOOD AT SHOWING THAT;
BELIEVES THAT SHE HATES HIM, BUT HE WOULD NEVER SUSPECT
HER OF CHEATING ON HIM, ESPECIALLY NOT WITH ONE OF HIS
CLOSEST FRIENDS, TOM NOVIKOV. GETS ALONG SURPRISINGLY
WELL WITH HIS WIFE'S COUSIN, STELLA HARRISON. PLANS ON
PERSONALLY DOING AWAY WITH THE CONARTIST, BO BEAUCHAMPS,

ENEMY, DIMITRI, LIVE IN BOSTON. DOESN'T LIKE HAVING

EXPERIENCED, HE IS OFTEN THE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT OF HIS
OLDER BROTHER, UNDERSTANDING HIM BETTER THAN NEARLY
ANYONE ELSE. HE'S VERY PERCEPTIVE, SEEMS TO HAVE A
STRANGE UNDERSTANDING OF EVEN THE MOST COMPLEX
PEOPLE. TENDS TO BELIEVE TOO MUCH IN THE GENERAL GOOD
OF HUMANITY, TRUSTS TOO EASILY, WAS RECENTLY SCAMMED
BY A CONMAN NAMED BO BEAUCHAMPS. WAS SAVING THE
MONEY HE LOST TO START HIS OWN LAW FIRM, AFTER HE
GETS OUT OF THE MOB BUSINESS. IS VERY GOOD AT MAKING
A CASE. IS MORE INCLINED TO LET THE LOSS OF THE MONEY
GO. IS NOT NAIVE; KNOWS OF THE THINGS THAT HIS BROTHER
DOES, AND DOESN'T LIKE THEM, BUT HE ACCEPTS THAT ITS A
NECESSARY PART OF THE MOB LIFESTYLE. IS CARING AND A
GOOD LISTENER, IS OFTEN CONFIDED IN BY BOTH HIS BROTHER
AND HIS BROTHER'S WIFE, ZINAIDA.
PLAYED BY HUGH DANCY

WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE PREVIOUS MOB BOSS; HIS FATHER
WAS THE UNDERBOSS, BUT HE DIED BEFORE THE BOSS DID.
WAS ALSO VERY CLOSE TO BOTH OF THE MOLTINOVA
BROTHERS, HAS KNOWN THEM SINCE THEIR FIRST ARRIVAL IN
AMERICA. REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT HE'S VERY CLOSE
TO CONSTANTINE, HE'S HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HIS WIFE,
ZINAIDA. ISN'T WORRIED ABOUT BEING CAUGHT, THOUGH THE
EXTENT OF CONSTANTINE'S REACTION TROUBLES HIM A BIT.
IS KNOWN AS THE "PITT BULL" OF THE RUSSIAN MOB, IS
WILLING TO MAKE PEOPLES LIMBS BEND IN STRANGE WAYS

AND THEIR LITTLE "MOB GAME" ARE SILLY, AND THAT THEY
NEED TO BE INTRODUCED TO THE REAL WORLD, DOESN'T
KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE MOB BUSINESS, DISCOUNTS
MOST OF THE MORE TERRIBLE THINGS AS FICTION. IS A
VERY SUCCESSFUL WRITER, THOUGH SHE WRITES UNDER
A PSEUDONYM, DOESN'T WRITE AT ALL LIKE THE TYPICAL
WOMAN; SPURNS ROMANCE OF ANY KIND, AS WELL AS
THE TYPICAL "HAPPY ENDINGS". IS ESPECIALLY CRUEL

TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD | ASPIRING ARTIST
WAS BORN IN ENGLAND, IS HALF-RUSSIAN. MET CONSTANTINE
IN EUROPE, AND MARRIED HIM NOT LONG AFTER MEETING HIM
(IT WAS SOMETHING OF "LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT"), BUT THEIR
PASSION SOON FALTERED. IS THE SORT OF WOMAN WHO
NEEDS AFFECTION AND EMOTIONAL INTIMACY, CONSTANTINE
DOESN'T PROVIDE THAT, SO SHE'S HAD TO TURN TO OTHER
MEN. CHEATS ON HIM REGULARLY (SOMETIMES PURELY AN
EMOTIONAL AFFAIR), PARTICULARLY WITH HIS CLOSEST
FRIEND, TOM NOVIKOV. FEELS GUILTY ABOUT DOING SO,
BUT SHE BELIEVES THAT CONSTANTINE DOESN'T LOVE HER.
IS A VERY TALENTED PAINTER, ASPIRES TO OPEN HER OWN

IS A VERY WELL-RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE RUSSIAN MOB,
HOLDS A LOT OF AUTHORITY. IS WHAT COULD BE CONSIDERED
THE MOST INSANE OF ALL OF THE RUSSIANS, DOESN'T CARE
WHO HE KILLS. OFTEN TALKS TO THE PEOPLE HE'S GOING TO
KILL BEFORE HE KILLS THEM, HATES IT WHEN PEOPLE GET
THEIR BLOOD ON HIS CLOTHES. HAS A PASSION FOR CLASSICAL
MUSIC, CAN NAME HUNDREDS OF COMPOSERS AND TELL YOU
THEIR LIFE STORIES. WEARS HEADPHONES PLAYING IT WHEN
HE DOES JOBS ON PEOPLE. HAS ALWAYS HAD A VERY DRY
SENSE OF HUMOR, OFTEN USES IT TO TALK DOWN TO PEOPLE.
TREATS HIS SON AS IF THEY AREN'T RELATED, TREATS HIM AS
HE DOES EVERY OTHER SOLDIER (I.E. LIKE SHIT). HE DOESN'T
INTRODUCE DAMIAN AS HIS SON, SO MOST DON'T ASSOCIATE
THEM WITH EACH OTHER. DOESN'T REALLY LIKE OR DISLIKE
HIS SON, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT HE'S GIVEN
HIM ANY REASON TO FEEL EITHER.
PLAYED BY GARY OLDMAN

damian rasputin
NINETEEN YEARS OLD | SOLDIER
IS EVERY BIT AS CRAZY AS HIS OLD MAN, YURI, ONE OF THE
ONLY TRAITS THAT THE TWO SHARE. MOST WOULDN'T SUSPECT
IT, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T BRAG OF IT, BUT HE'S KILLED HIS
FAIR SHARE OF PEOPLE. WHEN HE'S WRONGED, HE DOESN'T
GET ANGRY; HE SIMPLY MAKES A MENTAL NOTE OF THE FACT,
AND THEN KILLS THE PERSON LATER. KILLS PEOPLE FOR VERY
SMALL REASONS, IS VERY AMERICAN PSYCHO WITH WHO HE
CHOOSES TO DISLIKE. TREADS LIGHTLY WITH HIS FATHER,
ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF WITH THE MAN,
BECAUSE REALLY, THOUGH HE ISN'T EVEN AWARE OF IT, HE
CRAVES APPROVAL. ON THE EXTERIOR, HE SEEMS TO BE
VERY NICE AND QUIET, BECAUSE HE'S EXCEPTIONALLY POLITE,
BUT THERE'S A CALCULATING AIR ABOUT HIM, HE SEEMS TO
BE WATCHING EVERYONE.

THE SHIT OUT OF HIS BOSS. HE WAS ARRESTED, BUT OUT OF
NOWHERE, A MOBSTER SHOWED UP, CLAIMED TO HAVE
KNOWN NOAH'S FATHER, AND MADE THE CHARGES
DISAPPEAR. BEING INDEBTED TO THEM, HE JOINED THE
MOB, AND SO FAR, IT HASN'T BEEN BAD. MOST OF HIS
JOBS ARE SIMPLE (DELIVER PACKAGES, THREATEN THIS
GUY, ETC, ETC.) AND HE DOES THEM WITH AN EFFICIENCY
THAT THE HIGH-UP GUYS ARE COMING TO LIKE. PREFERS
LIFE IN THE MOB TO LIFE IN A BUSINESS SUIT, THOUGH HE
KNOWS THAT HE HAS YET TO SEE THE WORST PARTS OF
IT.
PLAYED BY BEN BARNES

SUCCESSFUL; BORROWED A LOT OF MONEY FROM THE
RUSSIAN MOB TO KEEP FROM GOING UNDER, BECAUSE OF
THIS, HE WORKS FREE FOR THEM, AND DOESN'T REPORT
CASES WHEN HE HAS TO REMOVE A BULLET. DOESN'T WANT
TO BE INVOLVED IN THE MOB, BUT IT SEEMS THAT HE HAS NO
OTHER CHOICE. WORRIES THAT SOMEDAY HE'LL BE ASK TO
DO SOMETHING THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE, OR SOMETHING THAT
WILL OFFEND THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH. WANTS TO FIND A WAY
OUT OF THE BUSINESS, THOUGH HE HAS NO CLUE HOW TO.
DESPITE HIS UNWILLINGNESS, THOUGH, HE SEEMS TO BE
REVERED BY THE SMALL-TIME RUSSIAN MOBSTERS,
ESPECIALLY ONES HE'S SAVED THE LIVES OF; HE OFTEN
FINDS SMALL GIFTS ON HIS DOORSTEP.

WHENEVER HE NEEDS A PARTICULAR FAVOR (WHICH ISN'T
OFTEN), HE CAN CALL UPON THEM. HAS MOST OF HIS MONEY
IN AN OFF-SHORE ACCOUNT, SAVED UP. LIVES VERY SIMPLY,
DOESN'T LIKE FLASHY THINGS. WAS BORN IN AMERICA, BUT
NO ONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE. THERE IS NO ADDRESS
AT WHICH TO REACH HIM, BUT SIMPLY A NUMBER. CALL THE
NUMBER, HE'LL ANSWER (BUT HE WON'T SAY ANYTHING),
YOU TELL HIM WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND HE HANGS
UP. IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, IT HAPPENS. ISN'T EVEN
REMOTELY INTERESTED IN GETTING OUT OF THE "CLEANING"
BUSINESS, BUT A GIRL NAMED ALEX MCQUEEN MAY THREATEN
THAT DECISION. HE WAS RECENTLY GIVEN THE ASSIGNMENT
TO KILL HER ENTIRE FAMILY, INCLUDING HER, BUT WHEN SHE
BEGGED FOR HER LIFE, HE HESITATED, FOR SOME REASON.
COULDN'T RISK LEAVING HER, SO HE TOOK HER WITH HIM.
HAS COME CLOSE TO JUST SHOOTING HER ON SEVERAL
OCCASIONS, BUT SOME EXTERNAL FACTOR ALWAYS SEEMS
TO INTERFERE.

'ZANDR' FOR THE MOST PART, THOUGH HE DOESN'T MIND

TO HURT. TALKS TO THEM, TELLS JOKES, THEM BREAKS THEIR
KNEE CAPS AND THREATENS THEIR LOVED ONES. HAS BEEN
INVOLVED WITH THE RUSSIAN MOB FOR FIVE YEARS - WAS
RECRUITED FIRST-HAND BY TOM NOVIKOV AFTER GETTING
INTO A BAR FIGHT WITH THE MAN TWO SECONDS AFTER MEETING HIM.

WORK. WAS TOLD THAT HE WAS IN "POLITICS," BUT SHE'S
HAVING A HARD TIME BELIEVING THAT. HAS BEGUN TO SNOOP
AROUND, THOUGH VERY COVERTLY, AND TRY TO SEE WHAT
SHE CAN DISCOVER. HAS A NATURAL DESIRE FOR PEOPLE
TO LIKE HER, SO SHE OFTEN ATTEMPTS TO WIN OVER THE
MOBSTERS THAT ARE OFTEN IN THE MOLTINOVA HOUSE.
SHE RARELY DOES, THOUGH, IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT

HARD-CORE ACTION MOVIES. IS A BIG-NAMED ACTRESS,
BUT MOVED TO BOSTON RECENTLY TO CATCH A QUIETER
SCENE. IS A FIRST COUSIN OF THE MOLTINOVA BROTHERS,
ON THEIR MOTHER'S SIDE. SPENDS A LOT OF TIME WITH

FOR ONE OF HIS CREW MEMBERS WHO WOULD HAVE LIKELY GOTTEN
KILLED BECAUSE OF THE MISTAKE. HAS RESPECT FROM A LOT OF THE
LOWER LEVEL MEMBERS OF THE MOB, BUT IS SUSPECT IN THE EYES
OF THE UPPER LEVEL MEMBERS. IS RATHER OLD FASHIONED IN HIS
VIEWS OF THE WORLD BUT INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT (NOT GENIUS
LEVEL BUT SMARTER THAN THE AVERAGE ENFORCER) AND RESPECTFUL,
PARTICULARLY OF WOMEN. TREATS WOMEN LIKE PRINCESSES, DESPITE
THE FACT THAT HIS FIRST MARRIAGE ENDED IN A VERY SHAMEFUL
DIVORCE. IS SOMEWHAT OF A ROMANTIC BUT USUALLY HIDES THAT
FROM ANYONE BUT THE WOMAN HE IS SEEING. NEVER SLEEPS AROUND.
ENJOYS THE VIOLENCE OF THE MOB AS OPPOSED TO THE MUNDANE REAL LIFE
HE LEADS. IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, DOESN’T
HAVE TO GO INTO WORK EVERY DAY, WHICH HE ENJOYS. RECENTLY
ASSIGNED BY HIS NEW CAPTAIN, OLEXEI MITROFANOV, TO
GUARD HIS DAUGHTER, MARGARETE MITROFANOV. HE IS
EXPECTING THAT SHE’LL BE A SPOILED PAIN IN THE ASS BUT REALLY
HASN’T HAD MUCH CONTACT WITH HER BEFORE.

castro luna
FORTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD | MOB BOSS
IS THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN, WELL-SPOKEN, CAN CONVINCE
ANYONE OF ANYTHING. LOVES HIS CHILDREN VERY DEARLY,
WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THEM. ACCORDING TO HIS CLOSE
FRIEND, MOSES, HE SPOILS HIS CHILDREN; IS UNFAZED BY
HIS SONS' FREQUENT ANTICS. DESPITE HIS GENTEEL APPEARANCE,
OR, PERHAPS, BECAUSE OF IT, HE'S A SHAMELESS WOMANIZER.
HIS WIFE, INES, IS AWARE OF THESE CONQUESTS, AND OFTEN
PAYS OFF WOMEN WHO ARE PURSUING HER HUSBAND. CASTRO
IS UNAWARE OF HIS WIFE'S KNOWLEDGE OF HIS AFFAIRS, ONLY
MARRIED HER BECAUSE SHE WAS THE RESPECTABLE SORT, THE
KIND THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO MARRY. ISN'T NECESSARILY
BORED WITH HER, BECAUSE SHE IS, IN FACT, THE MOTHER OF
HIS CHILDREN, BUT SHE DOESN'T FILL HIS NEED. SHE SEEMS,
THOUGH, TO HAVE A STRANGE POWER OVER HIM. HE'LL DO
NEARLY ANYTHING THAT SHE ASKS HIM TO DO. AND THOUGH
HE IS A MOBSTER, AND WILLING TO KILL, CASTRO HAS SHOWN
MORE MERCY THAN MOST IN HIS STANDING.

HIS CAUSE. DESPISES THE OTHER MOBS, HAS A HABIT OF
USING RACIAL SLURS WHEN IT COMES TO THEM. IS RATHER
FRIGHTENING, NOT EVEN THE LUNA BROTHERS DARE TO
PULL PRANKS ON HIM. THE ONLY ONE WILLING TO LAUGH
AT MOSES' EXPENSE IS MAXIMO, WHO MOSES HATES MORE
THAN HE HATES THE IRISH OR THE ITALIANS. IF MAX WASN'T
THE BROTHER OF THE BOSS, MOSES WOULD HAVE KILLED
HIM A LONG TIME AGO. THOUGH HE'S THE EPITOME OF RAGE,
MOSES OFTEN PUTS ON A CALM EXTERIOR. THE ONLY
EVIDENCE OF HIS UNUSUAL AND PERPETUAL ANGER IS
BITTERNESS, WHO'S BEEN HIS CONSTANT COMPANION
SINCE HIS WIFE WAS KILLED MORE THAN TWO DECADES
AGO. HAS BEEN CELIBATE SINCE THEN. THINKS THAT CASTRO
SPOILS HIS SONS, AND THAT THEY AREN'T REAL MEN.
RESERVED FOR SAMMY. PM HER IF YOU WISH TO TAKE HIM.

AND VIDAL, HE'S THE GREATEST UNCLE THAT EVER LIVED.
IS THE DEFINITION OF LAID-BACK, NEVER GETS ANGRY, AND
ALWAYS HAS SOME WISE-CRACK TO SAY AT INOPPORTUNE
MOMENTS. IS THE COMIC RELIEF OF THE LATIN MOB. NEARLY
ALWAYS HAS EITHER A BOTTLE OF ALCOHOL IN HAND OR A
CIGARETTE, IS PERPETUALLY IN A STATE OF HALF-DRUNKENNESS.
NEVER SPENDS A NIGHT ALONE, THE WORLD'S MOST REFINED
WOMAN-CHASER. OFTEN TAKES HIS NEPHEWS OUT "CRUISIN'
FOR CHICKS". HIS ONLY LIMIT WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN
IS THAT THEY HAVE TO BE OLDER THAN SIXTEEN. DOESN'T
DO MUCH WITH THE MOB BUSINESS, ONLY WHEN HE'S NEEDED.
TOYS WITH MOSES GRIMALDO WHENEVER HE GETS THE
SLIGHTEST OPPORTUNITY, IS PROBABLY THE ONLY PERSON
WHO ISN'T AFRAID OF THE MAN. IS GOOD FRIENDS WITH HIS
BROTHER'S WIFE, ALWAYS MAKES PLAYFUL PASSES AT HER,
WHICH SHE, WITH AN EQUAL LEVEL OF ENJOYMENT, SHOOTS
DOWN.

SON, THOUGH HE'S NEVER SERIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING. IS RARELY
SEEN WITHOUT A SMILE ON HIS FACE; PERPETUALLY IN A GOOD
MOOD. HE'S MORE OF A PESSIMIST THAN HIS BROTHER, THOUGH;
HAS A THING FOR DARK HUMOR. IS NEVER MOODY, AND WHEN
HE'S WITH VIDAL, HE'S ALWAYS FALLING OVER HIMSELF IN
LAUGHTER. THE TWO OF THEM HAVE DISRUPTED TOO MANY
MOB MEETINGS TO COUNT, EITHER WITH EMILIO DRAWING
CRUDE CARICATURES OF MOSES ON THE TABLE, OR VIDAL
BURSTING INTO LA MARCHA REAL, SPAIN'S NATIONAL ANTHEM
AS SOON AS THE ROOM GOES QUIET. IS VERY EASY TO FIND
ONCE HE'S IN THE LUNA HOUSE, BECAUSE HE'S EITHER A] IN
THE KITCHEN, OR B] THE SOURCE OF WHATEVER NOISE YOU'RE
HEARING. OFTEN HAS THE TIME OF HIS LIFE HARASSING HIS
YOUNGER SISTER; TAKES GREAT JOY IN HOLDING HER DOWN
AND DANGLING SPIT OVER HER FACE.
PLAYED BY GAEL GARCIA BERNAL

vidal luna
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD | CAPTAIN
WHILE HIS BROTHER OFTEN FAVORS NEGATIVE HUMOR, THERE
ISN'T A NEGATIVE BONE IN VIDAL'S BODY. HE'S ALWAYS OPTIMISTIC.
CRACKING JOKES IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE THAT HE SPEAKS,
HAS PROBABLY NEVER HAD A SERIOUS MOMENT IN HIS LIFE.
THOUGH PRANKS ARE HIS SPECIALTY, AND HE NEVER PASSES
UP AN OPPORTUNITY, VIDAL IS TWICE THE TROUBLE WHEN HE'S
PAIRED WITH HIS OLDER BROTHER. WHENEVER HE ENTERS A
ROOM, HE ALWAYS SEEMS TO STUMBLE IN. EVERYTHING THAT
HE DOES IS NOISY, HE CAN'T BE INCONSPICUOUS TO SAVE
HIS LIFE. IS THE MORE SENSITIVE OF THE TWO BROTHERS,
DOESN'T LIKE GUNS, AND DOESN'T LIKE TO DISRESPECT
WOMEN (THOUGH, SURPRISINGLY, HE SEEMS TO BE ON
THE SAME TRAIL AS HIS FATHER AND UNCLE, TOWARDS
BEING AN INCORRIGIBLE WOMANIZER). HAS ALWAYS BEEN
HIS YOUNGER SISTER'S SAVIOR, WILL ABUSE EMILIO IF
HE MESSES WITH HER, THOUGH HE ALWAYS THROWS
AROUND (AND IS THROWN AROUND BY) HIS BROTHER ON
THE FRONT LAWN IN GOOD HUMOR.

SHE LEARNS OF A PARTICULAR GIRL WHO'S LOOKING TO GET
CASTRO AS HER OWN (NES HAS HER WAYS OF LEARNING THESE
THINGS), SHE PAYS HER OFF. IF THE GIRL REFUSES, SHE TAKES
MORE DIRECT METHODS, OFTEN USING A GUN (WHICH SHE DOES,
IN FACT, KNOW HOW TO USE). THOUGH SHE'S KIND AND OFTEN
VIEWED AS SOMEWHAT OF A PUSH-OVER, NES KNOWS HOW
TO KEEP HER FAMILY TOGETHER. CASTRO COULDN'T HAVE
FOUND A BETTER WOMAN TO BE THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN,
EVEN IF THEIR LOVE WAS NEVER, AND NEVER WILL BE, PASSIONATE.
HER BROTHER-IN-LAW, MAX, OFTEN HAS SOMETHING SEXUALLY
INAPPROPRIATE TO SAY TO HER, WHICH SHE ALWAYS HAS A
WITTY RESPONSE TO. SUPPORTS HER DAUGHTER'S FRIENDSHIP
WITH THE IRISH BOSS' DAUGHTER.

carmen luna
TWENTY-TWO YEARS OLD | BOOK KEEPER & DEEJAY
IS THE YOUNGEST CHILD OF CASTRO AND INES LUNA, IN SPITE OF
THE FACT THAT BOTH OF HER BROTHERS ACT YOUNGER THAN SHE
DOES. THAT ISN'T TO SAY THAT SHE'S MATURE, BECAUSE THE LAST
THING THAT CARMEN IS IS MATURE. ISN'T EXACTLY THE MOST SOCIAL
OF PEOPLE. SHE'S SHY, BUT ONLY WHEN SHE'S IN A GROUP. ONE-
ON-ONE, SHE'S OUTRAGEOUSLY OUTGOING. THE REASON THAT SHE
LIKES BEING A DEEJAY IS BECAUSE SHE LIKES BEING AT THE PARTY
WITHOUT HAVING TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE. SHE LIKES THE MOOD
OF PARTIES, THOUGH SHE THINKS THE ALCOHOL THAT'S INVOLVED IS
STUPID. ROCKS THE TACKY THRIFT STORE STYLE LIKE NO OTHER. IN
FACT, THRIFT STORES ARE HER FAVORITE PLACE TO HANG OUT IN.
IS THE LONG-TIME BEST FRIEND OF MERRYN KILPATRICK, DESPITE
HER FAMILY'S DISAPPROVAL. IS ALSO BEST FRIEND OF SIRI DAX
AND ELVIS MORRICAL. HANDLES THE BOOKS IN THE LATIN MOB, WHICH
IS SURPRISING FOR MOST FEMALES, BUT SHE GETS ABSOLUTELY
NONE OF THE MOB ACTION. IS VERY CLOSE TO HER MOTHER, FEELS
THAT SHE CAN TELL HER ANYTHING. IS SEEMINGLY UNAWARE OF

HONEST, VERY TRADITIONAL (I.E. LOVES HIS MOTHER VERY MUCH).
IS VERY INTERESTED IN THE MOB BUSINESS, IS OFTEN VERY
FRUSTRATED WHEN HE'S LEFT IN THE LIVING ROOM TO WAIT
WHILE A MOB MEETING IS HELD IN THE OTHER ROOM. WANTS
DESPERATELY TO PROVE THAT HE CAN BE TRUSTED. HAS BEEN
INFATUATED WITH CARMEN LUNA FOR SOME TIME NOW, THOUGH
SHE IGNORES HIM. WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO MAKE HIMSELF
KNOWN TO HER, THOUGH, BECAUSE SHE'S THE MOB BOSS'
DAUGHTER. HAS NEVER HANDLED A GUN BEFORE, AND HIS
APPARENT INNOCENCE IN THAT AREA MAY BE THE REASON
WHY HE ISN'T CONSIDERED FOR HIGHER POSITIONS IN THE MOB.
HAS TOO MANY MORALS, THOUGH HE'D BE GOOD IN A POSITION
OF SOME SORT OF ADVISER. REASONS, THOUGH, THAT IF IT
WERE NECESSARY OR FOR PROTECTION OF THE LATIN PEOPLE,
HE WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM KILLING BAD MEN. IS VERY
CLOSE TO HIS OLDER SISTER, ANA.

THE HIGHER POWERS, BUT HE ISN'T LOOKING TO. DOESN'T WANT
TO CLIMB THE RANKS, JUST DOES IT TO PAY THE BILLS. IN FACT,
HE PURPOSELY AVOIDS ATTRACTING ATTENTION, BECAUSE HE
DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO TAKE PART IN ANYTHING MORE
ILLEGAL THAN HE ALREADY IS. MOST OF HIS MALE FAMILY
MEMBERS ENDED UP IN PRISON, AND HE'S DETERMINED NOT

NAMED ARTHUR BRONTË. HER MOTHER OFTEN SPOKE OF

MOTHER DIED HERSELF WHEN ISOLDE WAS A TEENAGER,
SO SHE SPENT THE REMAINDER OF HER YOUTH LIVING WITH

PARTICULAR, IS VERY FOND OF HER, BECAUSE SHE REMINDS
HIM OF HIS SISTER. STILL DOESN'T KNOW THAT ARTHUR ISN'T
HER FATHER, AND HAS NO CLUE WHO BAPTIST IS. IS VERY
SWEET-NATURED AND GENTLE, AND BECAUSE OF THIS SHE'S
OFTEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. IS A HUGE PUSH-OVER. HAS A
STRANGE EMOTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY IN WHICH SHE CAN'T
PASS A HOMELESS PERSON WITHOUT GIVING HIM OR HER

USE HIS POWER TO THREATEN PEOPLE, HE'S ALREADY
THREATENING ON HIS OWN. TALKS TO EVERYONE AS
IF HE'S SMARTER THAN THEM, LARGELY BECAUSE HE
IS SMARTER THAN THEM; MOST PEOPLE DISLIKE HIM,
THOUGH HE'S IN DENIAL OF THE FACT. EVEN IF HE IS
A BIT HARSH, HE'S USUALLY JUST DOING HIS JOB.
OUTSIDE OF HIS WORK, HE ISN'T SO BAD, THOUGH
HE'S STILL A BIT HIGH-STRUNG AND INTENSE. LOVES
TO READ POETRY VERY MUCH, WISHES THAT HE HAD
THE TIME TO WRITE IT, BUT HIS JOB HAS TAKEN AWAY
A LOT OF HIS PASSIONS IN LIFE. NEVER MARRIED,
BECAUSE HE WAS TOO DEVOTED TO THE POLICE
FORCE, WHERE HE WAS BEFORE HE BECAME AN
FBI AGENT. SOMETIMES REGRETS HIS CHOICES.
PLAYED BY SEAN BEAN

spacer gray
TWENTY-NINE YEARS OLD | AGENT
IS CONSIDERED THE "NEW GUY" IN THE FBI, IS OFTEN
PICKED ON BY THE MORE EXPERIENCED AGENTS (TOLD
TO GO GET COFFEE, FIX THE COPY MACHINE, ETC.) IS
A VERY SENSITIVE PERSON, SO THEIR TEASING STINGS
A BIT; RARELY HAS A COMEBACK FOR THEM BECAUSE
SHE'S SO FLUSTERED; WOULD LOVE TO SHOW THEM
ALL UP ONE DAY. IS A HUGE CONSPIRACY THEORIST,
NOTHING IS TOO FAR-FETCHED FOR HER; ALWAYS
COMES INTO WORK WITH THE SUPER-NATURAL TABLOIDS
TUCKED UNDER HER ARM. IS RIGHT ABOUT HER REAL-
LIFE CONCLUSIONS, THOUGH, A SURPRISING AMOUNT
OF THE TIME. IS EXTREMELY GULLIBLE, BUT SHE'S
NOT NEARLY AS STUPID AS MOST AGENTS BELIEVE
HER TO BE. IN FACT, SHE'S RATHER SHARP AND
INTUITIVE, BUT SHE'S FAR TOO TRUSTING IN THE GOOD
OF HUMANITY.
PLAYED BY BRITTANY MURPHY

reginald tucker
THIRTY YEARS OLD | AGENT
IS THE CASE AGENT OF SEVERAL UNDER COVER AGENTS,
THEY ALWAYS CRITICIZE HIM, TELLING HIM THAT HE
LOOKS TOO MUCH LIKE AN FBI AGENT. IN ALL HONESTY,
HE DOES OFTEN SEEM TO LOOK LIKE HE'S UP TO SOME-
THING. ALWAYS WANTED TO BE AN FBI AGENT, EVER
SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE BOY. HAS AN AFFINITY FOR
SPY MOVIES, OWNS NEARLY EVERY ESPIONAGE
MOVIE EVER CREATED. HIS HERO IS COMIC BOOK
SPY PETE WISDOM, IS A HUGE COMIC BOOK BUFF.
THOUGH YOU WOULDN'T GUESS IT BY LOOKING AT
HIM, HE'S THE DEFINITION OF NERD. BELONGS TO
COMIC BOOK FAN CLUBS, STILL HAS POKEMON
CARDS (THAT HE COLLECTED IN HIS EARLY TWENTIES),
ETC. HE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT IT, BECAUSE HE
KNOWS THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
PLAYED BY ORLANDO BLOOM

steven payne
THIRTY-THREE YEARS OLD | AGENT
HAS A WAY OF OFFENDING NEARLY EVERYONE THAT HE
MEETS, ALWAYS SAYS THE RIGHT THING TO PISS THEM
OFF. IS VERY SARCASTIC, CAN'T KEEP NEGATIVE COMMENT
TO HIMSELF, AND THOUGH THEY'RE OFTEN FUNNY, NO
ONE EVER REALLY TAKES KINDLY TO THEM. TO CALL HIM
AN "ASSHOLE" IS TO PUT IT LIGHTLY. THE ONLY TIME HE'S
EVER NICE IS WHEN HE'S TRYING TO WIN A WOMAN OVER.
ONCE HE'S SLEPT WITH HER, THOUGH, HE'LL OFTEN SAY
SOMETHING CRUEL (USUALLY THE NEXT MORNING) AND
LEAVE HER IN TEARS. THERE'S A PART OF HIM THAT'S
MORTIFIED WHEN HE DOES THIS, BUT IT'S IN HIS NATURE
TO WANT TO ALIENATE HIMSELF. IS VERY SMART, BUT
STRANGELY, HE DOESN'T BELITTLE THE INTELLIGENCE
OF OTHERS. HE TREATS EVERYONE AS IF THEY'RE
FUNCTIONING HUMAN BEINGS, EVEN IF HE KNOWS THAT
THEY'RE STUPID. THAT, IN A WAY, IS ONE OF HIS VIRTUES.
HE TREATS EVERYONE THE SAME.
PLAYED BY RYAN REYNOLDS

ace craven
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS OLD | AGENT
RECENTLY HAS BEEN VYING FOR A POSITION UNDERCOVER,
TO ASSIST IN THE EFFORT TO BRING DOWN ORGANIZED
CRIME. IS VERY CALM, LEVEL-HEADED, WHICH IS OFTEN
A SHOCKING COMPARISON WHEN HE'S WITH HIS TWIN
BROTHER, GABRIEL, WHO'S VERY ENERGETIC. GETS
ALONG VERY WELL WITH HIS BROTHER, THOUGH HE'S
THE DOMINANT TWIN; ROUTINELY PUTS GABE IN A HEAD-
LOCK AND MAKES HIM CRY "UNCLE." HAS A SUBTLE
SENSE OF HUMOR, AND MOST OF THE TIME, HIS VICTIMS
AREN'T EVEN AWARE THAT HE'S MAKING FUN OF THEM.
WAS MARRIED FOR A WHILE, BUT HIS WIFE LEFT HIM
FOR ANOTHER MAN; IS STILL BITTER ABOUT IT, TAKES
A CYNICAL VIEW OF WOMEN AS A WHOLE. HATES
SURPRISES. DOESN'T LIKE POLICE OFFICERS.

astrid xiao
THIRTY YEARS OLD | CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATOR
IS A VERY STRANGE SORT OF PERSON, MOST OF THE TIME,
WHEN SHE WALKS AWAY, THE PERSON SHE WAS SPEAKING
TO HAS NO CLUE WHAT JUST HAPPENED. SOME OF THE
THINGS SHE SAY ARE SO FAR OUT THERE THAT NO ONE
CATCHES IT. HER DREAM JOB WAS TO BE ONE OF THE MEN
IN BLACK, BUT SINCE THAT WASN'T POSSIBLE, SHE SETTLED
FOR THE FBI. WORKS WITH FORENSICS, BUT STILL CARRIES
A GUN, MAINLY BECAUSE IT MAKES HER FEEL COOL. GIVES
PEOPLE AROUND THE AGENCY SURPRISE PRESENTS, FOR
NO OTHER REASON THAN SHE FELT LIKE IT. HAS A PIGLET
NAMED "BREAKFAST," WHO SHE ADORES. HAS BEEN
TERRIFIED OF ELEVATORS EVER SINCE SHE SAW THE FIRST
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. IS ONLY HALF CHINESE.

MOBSTER, SO HE DOESN'T HAVE TO FAKE MUCH. HAS YET
TO GAIN THE TRUST OF ANYONE IN THE FAMILY OTHER THAN
ZINAIDA MOLTINOVA, WHO HAS MANAGED TO CATCH HIS
INTEREST. HAS A VIOLENT STREAK, BUT THE MOB WORK THAT
HE'S ASSIGNED STILL GETS TO HIM. HE DOES IT ANYWAY,
THOUGH, BECAUSE REFUSING WOULD BLOW HIS COVER. HE
MAKES SURE TO MAKE REPARATIONS FOR WHAT HE'S DONE
(PAYING THE VICTIM'S HOSPITAL BILL, LEAVING THEM A WAD
OF CASH ON THE BEDSIDE TABLE, ETC.) IS A MOVIE BUFF,
THOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER GUESS BY TALKING TO HIM.
HE CAN NAME ANY DIRECTOR, WHAT FILMS THEY MADE,
WHO STARRED IN THEM, AND THE BASIC PLOT. LIKES
VIOLENT FILMS MOST OF ALL, THOUGH.

FORTY YEARS OLD | SVU DETECTIVE
HAS SOMEWHAT OF AN ANGER PROBLEM, WHICH IS OFTEN
DIRECTED TOWARDS PERPS WHO ABUSE CHILDREN, HAS A
SPOT FOR SMALL KIDS, DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE ONCE HAD
ONE OF HIS OWN, BUT SHE DIED WHEN SHE WAS VERY LITTLE.
HAS HAD MORE EXCESSIVE FORCE COMPLAINTS FILED AGAINST
HIM THAN ANYONE IN THE UNIT, BUT HE'S ONE OF THE BEST
DETECTIVES THEY HAVE. IS WILLING TO RISK HIS OWN LIFE TO
SAVE THAT OF A CHILD. VERY PASSIONATE, GOOD AT TALKING
ANGRY PEOPLE DOWN. HAS A KNACK FOR TRICKING PERPS
INTO TRUSTING HIM, BUT THAT'S USUALLY RESERVED FOR THE
STING. HIS PRINCIPLE ROLE WHEN INTERACTING WITH CRIMINALS
IS THE "BAD COP," HIS PARTNER, CAROLINE CHURCH TAKING
THE ROLE OF "GOOD COP."
PLAYED BY CHRISTOPHER MELONI

caroline church
THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD | SVU DETECTIVE
IS VERY KIND AND PERSONABLE, TENDS TO BE MORE OF A
PEOPLE-PERSON. REGARDLESS OF SOMEONE'S BACKGROUND,
NEARLY EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO CARO.
SHE'S A GREAT LISTENER, AND, FOR THE MOST PART, DOESN'T
JUDGE. SHE HATES PEOPLE WHO ABUSE WOMEN AND
CHILDREN, THOUGH, JUST AS MUCH AS HER PARTNER,
JOSEPH, DOES. TENDS TO BOTTLE HER EMOTIONS MORE THAN
HE DOES. YOU CAN RARELY TELL WHAT SHE'S THINKING OR
FEELING. THOUGH SHE SEEMS TO BE SO OPEN WITH PEOPLE,
SHE'S REALLY A VERY PRIVATE PERSON. DOESN'T LIKE TO
MIX HER WORK AND HER LIFE. HAS A KNACK FOR TALKING
TO KIDS, SHE CAN GET A STRAIGHT STORY OUT OF A CHILD
EASIER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE UNIT. CHILDREN OFTEN
ADORE HER.

ashton wilde
TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD | HOMICIDE DETECTIVE
THIS IS HER FIRST YEAR OF BEING A HOMICIDE DETECTIVE,
SHE WAS ASSIGNED THE PARTNER OF AARON BURROW,
WHICH MOST WOULD CONSIDER UNFORTUNATE, BECAUSE
HE HAS A HABIT OF RUNNING THROUGH PARTNERS. IS VERY
SENSITIVE, OFTEN GETS EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED IN CASES
OR PHYSICALLY SICKENED AT CRIME SCENES. SECRETLY
WANTS TO SHOOT SOMEONE, JUST ONCE, THOUGH SHE'S
ONLY CONFESSED THAT DESIRE TO HER RATHER BIZARRE
SISTER, SCOUT WILDE, WHO AGREES ON THE SUBJECT. IS
VERY NERVOUS ABOUT HER PARTNER, BUT MORE NERVOUS
ABOUT THE FACT THAT SCOUT MAY MURDER HIM, BECAUSE
SHE HAPPENS TO BE VERY PROTECTVE OF ASHTON. IS
THE WORST LIAR IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, HAS NEVER
TOLD A GOOD LIE.
PLAYED BY AUDREY TAUTOU

aaron burrow
THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OLD | HOMICIDE DETECTIVE
IS VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES, ONE OF THE BEST. HIS
PEERS PREDICT THAT HE'LL MAKE CHIEF ONE DAY. IS THE
PARTNER OF ASHTON WILDE, THOUGH HE FIGURES SHE
WON'T LAST LONG. HE OFTEN FINDS SOME SORT OF
PROBLEM WITH HIS PARTNERS AND EITHER FILES FOR
A TRANSFER OR SCARES THEM OFF. THIS ONE WILL BE
NO DIFFERENT, THOUGH HE HASN'T DECIDED WHICH ROUTE
HE'S GOING TO TAKE TOWARDS GETTING RID OF HER. HAS
AN EYE FOR CLUES, RARELY MISSES ANYTHING AT A
CRIME SCENE. NEVER SEEMS TO BE EFFECTED BY
GRISLY CRIME SCENES. DEALS WITH THEM AS IF HE'S
TAKING A STROLL THROUGH A PARK. DOESN'T LAUGH
VERY OFTEN, AND IF HE DOES, IT'S MORE FRIGHTENING
TO WITNESSES THAN IT IS HUMOROUS.
PLAYED BY WILL SMITH

john paxton
THIRTY-NINE YEARS OLD | HOMICIDE DETECTIVE
GOES BY HIS SURNAME MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, BUT HE
DOESN'T MIND BEING CALLED JOHN. ENJOYS WATCHING
FILM NOIRES AT THE PUBLIX THEATRE, THOUGH THE OTHER
DETECTIVES LIKE TO SAY THAT HE GOES THERE FOR THE
PORNOS. KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THE CRIMINAL MIND, TAUGHT
HIS DAUGHTER, LEONIE LAKE, EVERYTHING THAT SHE KNOWS.
COPS IN HOMICIDE JOKE THAT HE USED TO BE A CRIMINAL,
WHICH IS THE REASON THAT HE KNOWS SO MUCH, BUT IN
REALITY, NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT HIM, HE'S VERY
MYSTERIOUS. THE ONLY ONE WHO'S KNOWN HIM FOR A
VERY LONG TIME IS HIS PARTNER, AXEL CLARKE, WHO
USED TO BE HIS POKER PARTNER WHEN THEY BOTH LIVED
IN LAS VEGAS. HIS DAUGHTER WAS BORN ILLEGITIMATELY
IN VEGAS, TO A COCKTAIL WAITRESS WHO LATER TOOK
A PERVERSE JOY IN MAKING SURE THAT PAXTON WOULD
NEVER SEE HIS CHILD. HE ALWAYS HUNTED THEM DOWN

THE HIGHER POWERS OF THE MOB HAVE THEIR EYE ON HIM,
AS SOMEONE THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO TRUST, BUT HE HAS
YET TO REALLY INTEREST THEM. HAS ANGER PROBLEMS,
HIS SUPERVISORS KEEP A WARY EYE ON HIM. WENT
THROUGH A SHORT PRISON SENTENCE IN ORDER TO MAKE
THE IRISH MOBSTERS THINK THAT HE WAS WORTHY OF
TRUSTING. DISLIKES MICHAEL CONWAY, BUT HE'S FORCED
TO WORK WITH HIM BECAUSE HE'S ONE OF THE VERY
FEW PEOPLE WHO KNOWS THAT DANNY IS UNDERCOVER.
IS ALSO TRYING TO FIND THE RAT IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WHO MAY HAVE CONSIDERED HIM A FRIEND. KNOWS THAT
THERE'S AN UNDERCOVER COP IN THE MOB, BUT DOESN'T
KNOW WHO YET. IS DOING EVERYTHING THAT HE CAN TO
FIND OUT WHO IT IS. IS CLOSE TO BROGAN KILPATRICK,
KNEW HIM AND HIS FAMILY SINCE HE WAS A CHILD. AVOIDS
STAFF SERGEANT CONWAY AT ALL COSTS, BECAUSE
THE MAN SEEMS TO BE SUSPICIOUS OF HIM. HATES IT
WHEN PEOPLE INTERFERE WITH HIS PERSONAL BUSINESS,
DOESN'T RESPOND TO PERSON QUESTIONS AT ALL.

THE RECORD) TAKES GREAT JOY IN REDUCING LIEUTENANTS
TO TEARS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY'RE A MAN OR
A WOMAN, IS UNFAZED BY GIRL-TEARS. SAYS WHAT THE HELL
HE WANTS WHENEVER THE HELL HE WANTS, AND HE DOESN'T
CARE WHO TO. HATES NEARLY EVERYONE THAT HE MEETS,
BUT PARTICULARLY DISLIKES MURPHY MULLIGAN. THERE'S
JUST SOMETHING WRONG ABOUT THAT ONE THAT HE DOESN'T
LIKE. ALSO DISLIKES DANIEL O'CALLAGHAN, BUT THERE'S
A SORT OF GRUDGING RESPECT THERE THAT MIKE DOESN'T
HAVE FOR MOST PEOPLE. THAT STILL DOESN'T STOP HIM FROM
CALLING DANIEL AN ASSHAT OR SLAMMING HIM UP AGAINST A

ADDICTION, BUT HE RECOVERED FROM IT, AND NOW ONLY
GAMBLES RECREATIONALLY. IS EASILY THE MOST HILARIOUS
GUY YOU'LL EVER MEET. OFTEN MAKES FRIENDS WITH THE
PEOPLE HE ARRESTS, EITHER THROUGH CRACKING JOKES
WITH THEM, OR PLAYFULLY MAKING FUN OF THEM. THOUGH
HE'S ALWAYS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY, AND EVERYONE
LOVES HIM, AXEL IS A VERY LONELY GUY. THIS LONELINESS

BEEN PROMINENT PLAYERS IN THE IRISH MOB CRIME SYNDICATE.
TOMMY APPLYING FOR POLICE ACADEMY WAS JUST ABOUT THE
EQUIVALENT OF AL CAPONE'S KID APPLYING FOR THE FBI. HIS DAD
WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE FAMILY WHO WASN'T ASSOCIATED WITH
THE MOB - HE WAS A MECHANIC. IF YOU ASKED HIM, HE'D SAY THAT
HE ONLY WENT OUT FOR THE POLICE ACADEMY SO HE'D HAVE A LEGIT
REASON TO CARRY HAND-CUFFS. GOING THROUGH ACADEMY, THEY
DIDN'T APPRECIATE HIS PARTICULAR BRAND OF ENTHUSIASM, OR
HIS EXTREMELY INVENTIVE INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES. HE
MANAGED TO GRADUATE - SECOND IN HIS RANKING CLASS - AND GOT
PICKED UP BY THE DEPARTMENT SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. IS KNOWN
FOR BEING THE DEPARTMENT PIT-BULL, VIOLENT, SINKS HIS TEETH
INTO SOMETHING AND DOESN'T LET GO. TAKE UNNECESSARY RISKS
TO GET THE JOB DONE, BUT HE DOES GET THE JOB DONE. HAS A
HARD-ON FOR THE BOSTON MOBS, AND THOSE CITY OFFICIALS WHO
LET THEM GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING THEY DO. HATES DIRTY

WAS TAUGHT ABOUT THE WORLD OF CRIME BY HER FATHER,
IS VERY CLOSE TO HIM, THOUGH THAT'S ONLY BEEN THE CASE
FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. BECAUSE OF HER MOTHER, SHE
RARELY SAW HIM DURING HER CHILDHOOD; MOVED AROUND
A LOT. HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO GROW UP AND BE LIKE HER
FATHER, THOUGH; HE'S ALWAYS FASCINATED HER. DISPLAYS
THE SAME NATURAL FEARLESSNESS THAT HE DOES, THOUGH
SHE SEEMS TO HAVE MORE OF AN ATTRACTION TO CRIME. IS
WORRIED THAT CRIME MIGHT HAVE MORE OF AN ALLURE THAN
STOPPING IT DOES, AND SHE MAY GO WRONG, BUT SHE DOESN'T
VOICE THIS FEAR TO ANYONE. SHE FIGURES THAT IT'LL ALL WORK
OUT, AND IN THE END, SHE'LL BE A STRAIGHT COP.

DOESN'T DO MUCH SOCIALIZING WITH THEM. SHE COMES IN
FOR HER SHIFT AND THEN LEAVES. ONLY REALLY TALKS TO
THOSE WHO COME IN FOR LAB REPORTS, OR HER PARTNER,
MICKEY MONDRAGON, WHO SHE ALSO SHARES A FLAT WITH.
PEOPLE OFTEN SPECULATE ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP,
MOST THINKING THAT THEY'RE LESBIANS. IN TRUTH, THEY'RE
HALF-SISTERS, WHO DIDN'T DISCOVER THE EXISTENCE OF
ONE AOTHER UNTIL THEY WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL. WORKS
THE NIGHT SHIFT, SPENDS HER TIME SMOKING CIGARETTES
AND LISTENING TO THE ROLLING STONES (AS WELL AS POKING
THROUGH HUMAN REMAINS). VERY LITTLE CAN BE HEARD
OVER THE LAUGHTER AND MUSIC, SO NOT MUCH CAN BE
LEARNED FROM A VISIT DURING HER WORK HOURS. IS
MUCH FRIENDLIER THAN MICKEY, BUT SHE'S ALSO MORE
AGGRESSIVE AND MORE VIOLENT, VERY PRONE TO MOOD
SWINGS AND DEPRESSIVE BEHAVIOR. ALWAYS WEARS
HER FEELINGS ON THE OUTSIDE.

WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE WHO SHE SPENDS HER TIME
WITH, IS CARELESS LIKE HER PARTNER AND HALF-SISTER,
LUPE CASTRO; CHAIN-SMOKES AND WORSHIPS THE GROUND
THAT JOHN LENNON (USED TO) WALK ON. IS A CONSPIRACY
BUFF, ALWAYS HAS THE MOST RECENT SUPERNATURAL
THEORY TO RELATE. IN FACT, A GOOD DEAL OF THE TALK
GOING ON IN THE MORGUE (WHEN IT ISN'T CRUDE HUMOR
OR INDECIPHERABLE COCKNEY SLANG) IS ABOUT ALIEN
SIGHTINGS, OR VARIOUS SCENARIOS. IS VERY EMOTIONALLY
STABLE, ALWAYS PICKS LUPE UP WHEN SHE CRASHES.
THOUGH THEY DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER FOR MOST OF

BIT AS SMART AS HIS TWIN BROTHER, BENEDICT, THOUGH
IT MANIFESTS ITSELF IN A DIFFERENT WAY. INSTEAD OF
BEING A GENIUS WITH TECHNOLOGY, HE HAS DEDUCTIVE
REASONING SKILLS FAR SUPERIOR TO THOSE OF THE
AVERAGE HUMAN. HE SPOTS THINGS THAT MOST PEOPLE
WOULDN'T SPOT, AND CAN PUT TOGETHER A CRIME
SCENE BETTER THAN NEARLY ANYONE. HIS ONE FLAW
IS THAT HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE CRIMINAL MIND,
AS HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE SORT OF PERSON WHO
NEEDS JUSTICE. IDOLIZED COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS
LIKE BATMAN AND THE DAREDEVIL (THE ONES WHO
WERE WITHOUT SUPER POWERS), THOUGH HE NOW
CLAIMS TO HATE COMIC BOOKS, BECAUSE THAT WOULD
SUGGEST A SIMILARITY BETWEEN HE AND HIS TWIN,
WHO HE'S HATED FOR MANY YEARS. IS VERY INTENSE,
OFTEN SEEMS LOST IN THOUGHT. WILL OCCASIONALLY
SCRAMBLE FOR A PENCIL TO WRITE INDECIPHERABLE
MIXES OF WORDS ON; MOST PEOPLE HAVE A HARD
TIME UNDERSTANDING HIM.

TRANSFERRED TO THE AMERICAN POLICE FORCE, THOUGH
HIS OLD HABITS ARE HARD TO SHAKE. GETS VIOLENT WITH
HIS WIFE WHEN HE'S ANGRY, DOESN'T LIKE FOR HER TO TALK

NEARLY ANYTHING TO BRING THE RUSSIAN MOB DOWN, ONLY
TO HURT CONSTANTINE.

GOOD-NATURED FOR THE MOST PART, THOUGH HE HAS A

ABUSE HIS POWER AS A POLICE OFFICER, AND HATES THOSE
WHO DO. HAS A VERY STRATEGIC MIND, LOVES ANYTHING
THAT PUZZLES HIM. HAS A VARIETY OF INTERESTS, CAN
TALK ABOUT NEARLY ANYTHING. LOVES THE FACT THAT
HIS BROTHER HATES UNIFORM COPS, BECAUSE HE USES
HIS POSITION AS ONE AS A CONSTANT IRRITANT. GOT A
PERFECT SCORE ON THE SAT, BUT GOT AVERAGE GRADES
BECAUSE HE WAS FAR TOO LAZY TO OVER-EXTEND HIMSELF.

HAS A KNACK FOR PIECING TOGETHER CLUES, WOULD
BE VALUABLE IF SHE'D PURSUED A CAREER IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT, IF HER THEORIES WEREN'T SOMETIMES

MICHELLE HOLIDAY, IS TRYING TO GET HIM TO STOP, THOUGH.
IT'S RUMORED THAT HE'S ONE OF THE MANY PEOPLE THAT
SHE'S SLEPT WITH AROUND THE OFFICE, BUT HE HAS YET TO
VERIFY THAT FACT. NEARLY ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING NEGATIVE
TO SAY IN ANY SITUATION, OR SOMETHING WITTY TO APPLY TO

THINKS YOU'RE AN IDIOT OR NOT BY THE LOOK ON HIS FACE,
HE DOESN'T BOTHER TO HIDE HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, NOR

KNOWS FULL WELL. PROMOTES A HIERARCHY AMONG THE
STAFF WRITERS, LOVES IT WHEN THEY GET CLIQUEY; SHE
BELIEVES THAT IT PROMOTES A HEALTHY 'DIRT' MINDSET.
TENDS TO SLEEP AROUND THE OFFICE, IF THERE'S AN
ATTRACTIVE MAN ANYWHERE IN THE BUILDING, EVEN IF HE'S
THE JANITOR, SHE'LL FIND HIM. IS EASILY ONE OF THE MOST
OBSERVANT PERSON YOU'LL EVER MEET, IF SOMETHING
IS GOING ON THAT'S OFF, SHE'LL FIND OUT ABOUT IT. ALWAYS
SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT. SHE'LL
OFTEN CALL OUT TO PEOPLE ACROSS THE NEWS ROOM,
DEMANDING TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT SHE'S CORDIAL WITH IS
RICK STEINAN, EITHER BECAUSE SHE ENJOYS HIS DARK
HUMOR, OR SHE WANTS TO (OR ALREADY HAS) SLEEP

KEEPS HER FAMILY AT ARMS LENGTH, EXCEPT HER STEP-

NO ONE KNOWS THAT THEY'RE RELATED, BECAUSE SHE
DOESN'T SPEAK TO HIM AROUND THE OFFICE, NOR DOES

IN THE OFFICE (HALF OF THEM ARE MADLY IN LOVE WITH

LIFE OF CRIME, BUT THINGS GOT TOO HEAVY, SO SHE
DECIDED THAT SHE HAD TO GET OUT. HAS BEEN WORKING
AT THE GLOBE EVER SINCE, EVEN ACHIEVED THE POSITION

FOR HER OWN GOOD, REFUSES HELP OF ANY KIND.
PLAYED BY HALLE BERRY

jackie preston
TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OLD | BOSTON DIRT STAFF WRITER
IS VERY DRAMATIC, TURNS EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO
HER INTO A GRAND ADVENTURE; ENTIRELY EMBELLISHES
EVERYTHING, WILL OFTEN MIS-REPRESENT HERSELF OR
OTHERS. HATES HER BOSS, MICHELLE HOLIDAY, BUT
PRETENDS THAT SHE LIKES HER FOR THE SAKE OF HER
JOB. ONLY CONFESSES HER UNDYING HATRED OF THE
WOMAN TO HER LONG-TIME BEST FRIEND, VALERIE
VERTIGAN, WHO SHE (SECRETLY) SOMETIMES THINKS IS
A LITTLE BORING. ISN'T REALLY AS STUPID AS SHE LOOKS
OR ACTS, HAS ONLY LEARNED THAT PLAYING THE ROLE OF
THE DUMB BLONDE IS ADVANTAGEOUS. IT WASN'T ALWAYS
LIKE THAT, THOUGH. WHEN SHE AND VAL FIRST BECAME
FRIENDS, SHE'D OFTEN RIDICULE GIRLS LIKE THAT. BUT
THINGS CHANGED IN HIGH SCHOOL. THINGS ALWAYS
CHANGE IN HIGH SCHOOL.
PLAYED BY SCARLETT JOHANSSON

regina costello
THIRTY YEARS OLD | BOSTON GLOBE PHOTOGRAPHER
ANSWERS TO "REGGIE," DOESN'T LIKE TO BE CALLED REGINA.
IS EXTREMELY QUIRKY, WEARS HER HAIR IN STRANGE STYLES
WITH STREAKS OF VARIOUS COLORS, DRIVES A VESPA INSTEAD
OF A REGULAR CAR. WHEN SHE PHOTOGRAPHS EVENTS FOR
THE GLOBE, HALF OF THE FILM IS FULL OF SHOTS OF STRANGERS
OR ABSTRACT IMAGES (BUGS, PATTERNS OF SHADOW, ETC.)
IS CONFRONTATIONAL, REFUSES TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.
DOESN'T LIKE BULLIES, HAS A SOFT SPOT FOR THE WEAKEST
OF THE HERD, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL/MENTAL
DIFFERENCES. STANDS UP FOR THE UNDERDOG MORE OFTEN
THAN SHE STANDS UP FOR HERSELF, THOUGH SHE HAS NO
PROBLEM DOING THAT EITHER. ISN'T EVEN REMOTELY GIRLY,
HAS ALWAYS BEEN "ONE OF THE GUYS," THOUGH SHE GETS
THE FEELING THAT SHE MISSED OUT ON SOME THINGS BY
AVOIDING THAT FEMININE SIDE OF LIFE. KNOWS NEARLY
EVERY SONG BY THE ROLLING STONES, USED TO BE IN LOVE
WITH MICK JAGGER BEFORE SHE MOVED ON TO BIGGER AND
BETTER THINGS (I.E. JOHN LENNON).

jonathan fitzpatrick
THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OLD | BOSTON GLOBE CARTOONIST
WAS BORN IN ENGLAND, BUT MOVED TO AMERICA IN HIS EARLY
TEENS. WENT BACK TO BRITAIN TO PURSUE A CAREER IN ART,
BUT, AS HIS MOTHER SO NICELY PUT IT, "THERE'S NO MONEY
IN ART." AFTER LEARNING THAT FOR HIMSELF, AND SPENDING
SEVERAL YEARS IN AND OUT OF HOMELESS SHELTERS AND
BOARDING HOUSES, HE MOVED TO AMERICA AND GOT A JOB
AS A CARTOONIST AT THE NEWSPAPER WHERE HIS STEP-
SISTER, NATALIE STRANGE, WORKED. HE'S VERY CLOSE TO
HER, EVEN TO THE POINT OF SHARING AN APARTMENT WITH
HER. WHEN HE'S IN A BAD MOOD OR HE'S ANGRY, HE TAKES
IT OUT WITH A PEN, SOMETIMES SPENDING HOURS DRAWING
AT A FURIOUS RATE. HE'S OFTEN FRENZIED WITH HIS ART,
PAINTING THE ENTIRE LIVING ROOM WALL IN A FLURRY OF
MOTION. THE ONLY PERSON WHO UNDERSTANDS HIM IN THAT
RESPECT IS NATALIE. AT LEAST, SHE'S THE ONLY ONE HE'S
EVER TAKEN THE TIME TO EXPLAIN IT TO. IS THE DEFINITION
OF A SLUT, BUT HE GOES ABOUT THAT IN AS GENTLEMANLY
A MANNER AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. IS VERY OVER-PROTECTIVE
OF NATALIE, DOESN'T LIKE FOR HER TO BE AROUND MEN
WHO HAVE THE SAME HABITS AS HE DOES.
PLAYED BY PAUL BETTANY

gina riddle
TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OLD | BOSTON GLOBE "COFFEE GETTER"
ACCORDING TO HER PARENTS AND HER OLDER SISTER, SHE'S
"THROWN HER LIFE AWAY." HAS A BAD HABIT OF BORROWING
MONEY FROM THEM AND NEVER PAYING IT BACK. MOST OF
THAT MONEY WENT TOWARDS DRUGS, BUT RECENTLY, SHE'S
BEEN TRYING TO GET CLEAN. HER ONLY TALENT IS WRITING,
SO SHE SIGNED ON AT THE BOSTON GLOBE TO MAKE AN
HONEST ATTEMPT TOWARDS BEING A JOURNALIST. BUT FOR
SOME REASON, IT SEEMS THAT NATALIE STRANGE DIDN'T LIKE
HER RIGHT OFF THE BAT, SO MOST OF HER TIME IS SPENT
FETCHING COFFEE OR MAKING COPIES. IS IMPATIENT BY
NATURE, BUT IN THIS WHOLE "TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF"
SCHEME, SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO WORK ON THAT. SO MOST
OF THE TIME, SHE JUST BITES HER TONGUE AND DOES WHAT-
EVER SHE'S BEEN ASKED.
PLAYED BY ANNE HATHAWAY

victor wayne
THIRTY-TWO YEARS OLD | BOSTON DIRT PHOTOGRAPHER
IF MICHELLE HOLIDAY IS KNOWN FOR SLEEPING AROUND THE
OFFICE, THAN VIC WAYNE IS INFAMOUS FOR IT. WHEN HE'S NOT
SEDUCING HIS CO-WORKERS, HE'S PHOTOGRAPHING BOSTON
BLUE-BLOODS DOING THINGS THAT THEY SHOULDN'T. HE SEEMS
TO BE VERY LUCKY WHEN IT COMES TO BEING IN THE RIGHT
PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. HAS THIS STRANGE THING, THAT
WHENEVER HE SLEEPS WITH A WOMAN, HE TAKES A PICTURE
OF HER. SOME NUDE, SOME NOT. ODDLY, THOUGH HE'S A
SLUT, HE ISN'T AS BRAINLESS AS MOST PEOPLE WOULD THINK
HE IS. LISTENS TO THELONIOUS MONK AND OTHER JAZZ GREATS.
WHILE YOU WOULDN'T CALL HIM A PUSS, VIC IS A VERY INTIMATE
SORT OF PERSON. NOT TOUCHY-FEELY, THOUGH, STILL HOLDS
HIS MANLY-MAN STANDARDS. LOVES IT WHEN WOMEN PLAY
HARD TO GET OR VERBALLY ABUSE HIM.
PLAYED BY ASHTON KUTCHER

tomas kayden
TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OLD | BOSTON GLOBE ENTERTAINMENT WRITER
WAS GIVEN THE 'BEST LEGS' AWARD IN HIS SENIOR HIGHSCHOOL
YEARBOOK, AND EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH WENT DOWNHILL
FROM THERE. ATTENDED COLUMBIA IN NEW YORK CITY, MAJORED
IN JOURNALISM AND SLEEPING UNTIL THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.
GOT A JOB AT THE GLOBE COURTESY OF HIS COUSIN, (BY MARRIAGE)
GINA RIDDLE. FIRST IMPRESSION HE USUALLY GIVES IS THAT HE'S A
SLIGHTLY UNHINGED, OVERQUALIFIED, UNDERACHIEVING KID WITH
A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER. AND YOU'D BE RIGHT ON THREE OUT OF
FOUR, DEPENDING ON YOUR INTERPRETATION OF 'UNDERACHIEVING.'
IS IN CHARGE OF COVERING MOVIES, MUSIC, AND THE LOCAL 'SCENE.'
IS OFTEN SEEN SKATEBOARDING AROUND BOSTON WITH NIRVANA
BLARING FROM HIS HEADPHONES, MARBLE NOTEBOOK CLUTCHED
IN HIS HAND (IN CASE GENIUS STRIKES). IS KNOWN MORE FOR HIS
TRADEMARK SOCIAL UNPREDICTABILITY AND AWKWARDNESS
THAN FOR HIS JOURNALISTIC VENTURES. IS NOTABLY CHARISMATIC
AND OPTIMISTIC, WHICH SOME PEOPLE TAKE AS A SIGN FOR
IGNORANCE, AND OTHERS AS JUST PLAIN 'OL STUPIDITY.
CONSIDERS HIMSELF A WARRIOR FOR 'THE CAUSE.' WHATEVER THE
HELL THAT IS. WORDS THAT COME TO MIND: FLAMBOYANT, ZEALOUS,
UNINHIBITED, GLEEFUL.
PLAYED BY EMILE HIRSCH

nick casey
THIRTY YEARS OLD | BOSTON GLOBE PAGE EDITOR
EARLY IN HIS CAREER, HE HELPED UNCOVER AND CONVICT
A BIG-TIME MOBSTER WITH A COMBINATION OF PHOTOGRAPHS
AND ARTICLES. NOT LONG AFTER THAT, HE CAME HOME TO FIND
HIS DOG'S HEAD IN HIS MAILBOX. THAT CONVINCED HIM TO RETIRE
FROM THE CAREER OF STAFF WRITER, AND TURN TO EDITING
INSTEAD. BUT IN THE RECENT MONTHS, WITH THE RISE IN MOB
ACTIVITY, HE'S FELT A NEED TO RETURN TO HIS FORMER WAYS.
IS WIDELY HATED BY MOBSTERS, SO HIS LIFE MAY BE CUT
SHORT IF HE CHOOSES THAT PATH, AND HE KNOWS THAT. IS
BRAVE AND DEDICATED, BUT HE ISN'T STUPID. KNOWS WHEN
TO BACK DOWN, AND WHEN TO TAKE THE BULLET. HAS A
PENCHANT FOR SARCASM AND MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE,
THOUGH IT'S ALWAYS IN GOOD HUMOR. ALWAYS SEEMS TO
BE IN A GOOD MOOD, IS ONLY IN A BAD ONE WHEN HE'S
DISCOVERED SOME SORT OF INJUSTICE IN THE WORLD,
USUALLY AN INJUSTICE COMMITTED BY NATALIE STRANGE.
PLAYED BY JAMES MARSDEN

marie-claire benveniste
THIRTY-ONE YEARS OLD | BOSTON GLOBE COLUMNIST
LIKE MOST FRENCH WOMEN, HER LIFE IS A CONSTANT LOVE
AFFAIR. IS THE EPITOME OF SOCIAL CHARM, EVERYTHING
SHE DOES IS DELICATE; THE WAY LOOKS AT PEOPLE, THE
WAY SHE ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHES THEM, EVEN DOWN TO
THE WAY SHE SMELLS. HAS A SMOKY VOICE, THOUGH SHE'S
NEVER EVEN SO MUCH AS RAISED A CIGARETTE TO HER
LIPS. WRITES A VERY CHARMING AND CLEVER COLUMN
FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE, FEATURING WHATEVER SUBJECT
STRIKES HER FANCY. MAKES AN ART OF EYE CONTACT,
CAN EXPRESS NEARLY ANYTHING WITH SIMPLY A GLANCE.
IS VERY FICKLE WITH WHO SHE CHOOSES TO SHOW
AFFECTION TOWARDS; ONE MINUTE YOU MAY BE IN HER
GOOD FAVOR, WHILE THE NEXT, SHE'S DECIDED THAT THERE'S
SOMETHING NOT QUITE RIGHT ABOUT YOU. ISN'T EASY
WHEN IT COMES TO LOVERS; MUST BE COURTED AND
WON OVER.
PLAYED BY CARLA BRUNI

jennsen kincaid
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD | BOSTON GLOBE RECEPTIONIST
IS THE OFFICE SLUT, AND ISN'T AFRAID TO ADMIT IT. HAS NO
MORAL PROBLEMS WITH SLEEPING WITH MARRIED MEN OR
OLDER MEN. LOOKS AT IT AS A MEANS OF GUARANTEEING
HER FUTURE WITH THE PAPER. GIVES BOSSES BLOWJOBS
IN OFFICES, BATHROOMS, CONFERENCE ROOMS, OR ANY-
WHERE ELSE THAT THEY MIGHT POSSIBLY WANT. SHE'S
OFTEN RUDE TO OTHER WOMEN AROUND THE OFFICE, SO
SHE DOESN'T HAVE MANY FRIENDS, AND DEEP DOWN, IN
SOME PART OF HER, THAT PAINS HER. THERE'S SOMETHING
SAD ABOUT THE WAY SHE CARRIES HERSELF. COLLECTS
SMALL KNICK-KNACKS THAT SHE FINDS IN VARIOUS SHOPS;
HER FAVORITE BOOK IS PRIDE & PREJUDICE, BUT EVERY
TIME, AFTER READING IT, SHE HATES HERSELF AND THE
MEN FROM THE OFFICE.
PLAYED BY GEMMA ARTERTON

adrian sharpe
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD | BOSTON DIRT COLUMNIST
IS BOSTON DIRT'S HIGHEST PAID AND MOST VALUABLE
WRITER. HAS A WAY WITH WORDS RIVALED BY NO ONE ON

THAT. IS A CELEBRITY'S WORST NIGHTMARE; HE MAKES OR
BREAKS THEM. IF ADRIAN SHARPE HAS SOMETHING GOOD
TO SAY ABOUT ANYONE, THEY'RE HEADED FOR THE TOP.
IS, IN MOST WAYS, A CELEBRITY HIMSELF. IS A VERY CLOSE
FRIEND OF MICHELLE HOLIDAY, WILL CONVINCE HER TO
PULL STRINGS FOR ANY STAFF WRITER THAT ATTRACTS
HIS ATTENTION. IS VERY WELL-READ, QUOTES CLASSIC
WRITERS REGULARLY. IS VERY TERRITORIAL, DOESN'T
LIKE COMPETITION, BE IT FOR HIS JOB, HIS WOMEN, OR
ANYTHING ELSE THAT HE CONSIDERS HIS PERSONAL
POSSESSION (I.E. PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING).

COMFORTABLE WITH HER CURRENT LIFESTYLE AND IN
NO HURRY TO CHANGE IT. THOUGH HER NAME SUGGESTS
THAT SHE'S A SOFTIE, LOLA CAN TURN TO ALL EDGES AT
A MOMENT'S NOTICE. IS A FEMINIST, THOUGH SUBTLY SO,
AND HAS A PASSION FOR POLITICS/SOCIAL ISSUES. HAS
A PH.D IN JOURNALISM, THINKS IT'S POMPOUS TO ATTACH
THAT AFTER HER NAME, THOUGH, OR USE THE PREFIX 'DR.'
IS WORRIED THAT SHE CAN'T CARRY CHILDREN, AFTER
SEVERAL FAILED ATTEMPTS TO GET PREGNANT DURING

FORTY-FOUR YEARS OLD | LOBBYIST
UNLIKE MOST POLITICIANS, WILL IS FAIRLY CLEAN, ASIDE
FROM A FEW DUI'S UNDER HIS BELT. HE'S A BALL BUSTER
ON MOST OCCASIONS, AND A BIT OF ALCOHOL IN HIS
SYSTEM MAKES HIM THAT MUCH MORE SO; IT'S A GOOD
IDEA TO AVOID HIM AFTER HE'S BEEN BAR-HOPPING.
DESPITE HIS BAD HABITS, THOUGH, HE ALWAYS MANAGES
TO MAKE IT HOME TO HIS THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER,
WHO HIS ENTIRE LIFE REVOLVES AROUND. EVEN WHEN
HE'S AT WORK, HE'S THINKING OF HER. POLITICS WEREN'T
WHAT HE WANTED TO GO INTO WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER,
BUT AS IT TURNED OUT, IT WAS THE BEST OPTION FOR
HIM. DOESN'T LIKE TO THINK ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES
HE MAY HAVE MISSED.
PLAYED BY GEORGE CLOONEY

malcolm fox
FORTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD | CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR
IS THE ABSOLUTE EPITOME OF EVERYTHING CORRUPT,
CAN'T SEEM TO DO ANYTHING LEGALLY. HAS CLOSE
TIES TO ILLEGAL BUSINESS, AS HIS BROTHER, LANGSTON
FOX, IS BOSTON'S BIGGEST DRUG KINGPIN. AS A WAY
OF REPAYING HIS BROTHER, HE SOMETIMES MAKES
CALLS UPON PEOPLE WHO ARE EITHER THREATENING
BUSINESS, OR THOSE WHO OWE MONEY. HE'S AN
INTIMIDATING SORT OF GUY WHO DOESN'T MIND
BODY PARTS BEND IN STRANGE WAYS TO GET
THINGS DONE. SEVERAL TABLOIDS HAVE CROPPED
UP, FROM PEOPLE HE'S ASSAULTED FOR HIS BROTHER,
TELLING OF THE TERRIBLE THINGS HE'S DONE, BUT
100% OF THE TIME, THOSE PEOPLE ARE "CONVINCED"
TO ADMIT THAT THEY WERE LYING, AND THAT EVERY-
ONE SHOULD VOTE FOR MALCOLM WHEN ELECTION
DAY ROLLS AROUND. HAS CONSIDERED, ON SEVERAL
OCCASIONS, KILLING HIS RIVAL, MARK VERDICH, BUT
AT THE MOMENT, HIS POPULARITY IS CATCHING UP
TO THAT OF VERDICH'S, SO HE'S CONTENT TO WAIT.
KNOWS THAT CHARLES STILL IS SUSPICIOUS OF HIM,
HAS SUBTLY THREATENED HIM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
PLAYS LIKE HE'S RESPECTABLE, BUT HE'S BEEN
KNOWN TO DO THINGS THAT ONLY THUGS WOULD
CONSIDER DOING. THE DIFFERENCE: HE DOES IT IN
A SUIT.

MARK HAS MANAGED, THROUGHOUT HIS POLITICAL
CAREER, TO MAINTAIN A SQUEAKY CLEAN IMAGE, THERE
ARE NEVER ANY DRUG STORIES OR EX-LOVES TURNING
UP TO SPREAD HIS NAME OVER THE TABLOIDS. BUT IN
SPITE OF THAT, HE HAS BEEN EXTORTING MONEY FROM
HIS CAMPAIGN AND BORROWING MONEY TO MAKE A
"BETTER LIFE" FOR HIMSELF. USED TO BE A REGULAR
JOE, BUT NOW HE'S BITTER FROM YEARS OF REJECTION
AND HARD WORK, AND HE'S LOOKING TO CASH IN. WILL
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET ON THE TOP, EVEN IF
THAT MEANS GETTING MIXED UP IN MOB BUSINESS,
BECAUSE HE FIGURES THAT IT'S HIS TURN TO SUCCEED.
ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING JADED (THOUGH OFTEN WITTY)
TO SAY ABOUT OTHER POLITICIANS AND WEALTHY
PEOPLE. HAS BEEN KNOWN TO GET ANGRY IN HIGH-
DOLLAR RESTAURANTS AND GIVE STARTLING SPEECHES
ABOUT THE CORRUPTION OF MANKIND. GIVEN THE
NATURE OF THE POLITICAL RESTAURANTS HE
FREQUENTS, THOUGH, THAT ISN'T UNCOMMON, AND
NO ONE REALLY SEEMS TO BE BOTHERED BY THEM.

PERSON. EVER SINCE SHE WAS A CHILD, SHE'S HAD
AN OVER-DEVELOPED PERCEPTION OF FAIR-PLAY, SHE
HAS A NEED FOR EVERYONE TO BE EQUAL. IS VERY
WELL-SPOKEN, YOU COULD LISTEN TO HER TALK FOR
HOURS. GIVEN HER MULTI-CULTURAL UPBRINGING,
HER ACCENT IS A MIXTURE OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT
ONES, AS HER PARENTS LIVED IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES. IS VERY UPTIGHT, BUT SHE DIDN'T USED
TO BE THAT WAY WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER. OFTEN
WONDERS WHERE THINGS WENT WRONG, BUT SHE
KNOWS THAT AS A SENATOR, YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO
BE NICE OR FUNNY, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S WHO SHE

GUNSHOT WOUNDS THAT HE SUSTAINED, WAS NEAR-
DEATH WHEN HE WAS FOUND. WOULD STILL BE IN
COMBAT, IF HIS KNEE HADN'T BEEN PERMANENTLY
DAMAGED. IS VIRTUALLY FEARLESS, DOESN'T TAKE
KINDLY TO THREATS, PARTICULARLY FROM CROOKED
POLITICIANS LIKE MALCOLM FOX. HAS SEEN TOO MANY
THINGS IN HIS TIME TO TAKE FOX SERIOUSLY. FOX'S
THREATS ARE MOSTLY VEILED, SO HE RESPONDS
IN KIND, OFTEN HINTING AT THE POSSIBLE BACKLASH
OF ANY POTENTIAL ACTION BY FOX. CARRIES HIMSELF
WITH A DIGNITY THAT FOX DOESN'T HAVE. HAS A
SOFT SPOT FOR SMALL CHILDREN, THEY ALWAYS
SEEM TO LIKE HIM, AND EVEN THOUGH HE'S HARD
WITH MOST ADULTS, HE LIGHTS UP WHEN HE'S WITH
A CHILD. HAS MILD PTSD, THOUGH HE MISSES COMBAT,
SUFFERS FROM INSOMNIA AND TERRIBLE NIGHTMARES.
OFTEN CHASES THEM AWAY WITH ALCOHOL, THOUGH
HE DOES SO IN THE PRIVACY OF HIS OWN. IS INCAPABLE
OF OPENING UP TO PEOPLE; EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE.

VERY CLOSE TO REAGAN FLETCHER (ORIGINAL CHARACTER)

MARRIED AND THE FACT THAT SHE ALWAYS SEEMS TO WORK

HE, ACCORDING TO COMPANY BYLAWS, CANNOT RECOMMEND
HIMSELF FOR HITS. HENCE IF YOU GET A MEETING WITH HIM,
OFTEN TIMES YOU'VE GOT AN AUDIENCE WITH BOTH FOUNDERS -
JUST BECAUSE HE CAN'T RECOMMEND HIMSELF DOESN'T MEAN
HE'LL PASS UP HITS TO ANYONE LESS CAPABLE. SO MUCH FOR
SELFISH REASONS. AS CO-FOUNDER ALASTOR BASICALLY ACTS
AS EXECUTIVE REPRESENTATION FOR THE ASSASSINS UNDER

HIS PARENTS WERE KILLED BY GREEK MOBSTERS...WELL LET'S
JUST SAY IT CHANGED HIM. THIS COMPANY - AGENCY X- IS HIS
POWER TRIP OVER THE MOB, BUT THAT'S CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.
CHARMING, DYNAMIC, AND INTELLIGENT, NICOLO IS THE VERY
LAST PERSON YOU'D EXPECT TO BE RUNNING THIS ORGANIZATION:
NOT EVEN SO MUCH AS A PARKING TICKET. WHICH MAKES HIM A
VERY EASY PERSON TO UNDERESTIMATE, NOT A MISTAKE MOST
FAMILIES MAKE TWICE. THE RECIPROCAL OF HIS BUSINESS PARTNER
NICOLO IS EVERYTHING CHARISMATIC ON THE OUTSIDE...AND AN
