Charles Romano

Charles Romano is a mafia boss and crime lord from New York, New York. He is a core member of Salvation Team and side character of the Fate's Wish: Salvation story arc.
Charles (nicknamed Spinner) is an Italian American gangster and mob boss who has trained his natural determination in the art of luck and games. His main job is prime Capo of the mob, controlling the most "soldiers" of any Capo. He fronts as the owner of a small sandwich shop that specializes in sub sandwiches. When he isn't busy with mob business, he loves to go to casinos and gamble. If he starts to lose too much he uses his powers and goes all in to win it all back. His life stayed the same until he was approached by officials while in a casino, offering him big rewards and protection of his gang in exchange for work. Charles decided to go for it after talking about it with the second in command.
With all of Charles' tricks and abilities he is a formidable foe, though his high risk taking factor makes him prone to defeat periodically. 
== Personality ==
Charles is pretty easy going, he prefers to be just and forgiving but will get his hands dirty if needs be. He's not afraid to take from the less fortunate either. Members of the mob sometimes call him "Robin hood" due to his tendency of stealing from richer people especially while gambling. Though he doesn't show many emotions, he cares for his family deeply and tries his best to make them proud. 
In his day to day life off work, Charles is a playful person. He likes to mess around and make bad jokes while spending time helping the community. He enjoys watching live baseball games in large stadiums, often taking his friends to watch with him. Charles has a close bond with his adoptive family and his husband Dave Attkinson. When he has time he likes to take his doberman Donny out for walks. Touch and emotion are very important to him. He loves to shake hands and pat people on the back. In addition to this he always stays true to his emotions and let's others know how he is feeling. He is generally clear headed, but when it comes to gambling and challenges he takes unimaginably dangerous risks for the thrill of the game.
