Alessio the Shaymin

Alessio 'The Saint' Vassallo is the don of the Vassallo Family, one of a small number of traditional organized sex trade - drug trade crime groups united under the ideals of tradition and loyalty. He is an A-Tier Shaymin (almost exclusively seen in Sky Forme), though he does not tend to actively involve himself in conflict; although he likes to keep tabs on all aspects of his operation and stay in the know, he acts largely through his consigliere, Decimo the Bisharp, and also through his underboss. Only very serious or important matters see direct intervention from the big boss himself.
Alessio keeps watch over his burgeoning enterprise, living in the lap of luxury in the penthouse suite of his base of operations, the Ebony Gracidea Casino and Hotel, which itself is kept under a constant rotation of guards He is often away, however, and he can often be found roaming the casino floor with his entourage of bodyguards, paying personal visits to associates, seeing to the welfare of members of his Family, and, on the odd occasion, making the long trip overseas to the La Casa Monstro guild for purposes heretofore unknown.
He is a stern individual with little tolerance for nonsense and a deep-seated loathing towards disloyalty and disrespect, though his temperament is invariably measured and cool, and he is known to be particularly grateful and magnanimous to those who do right by him. He has, on more than a handful of occasions, pulled a number of strings for those in his employ, and personally invests his time and wealth into the well-being and interests of Family members. He is an excellent judge of character, however, and can often tell when someone is being two-faced or ingenuine in their intentions. He has been known to 'sever ties' with such individuals when they no longer have any use to him, ensuring they no longer have any use to anyone else, either. Turncoats and deserters invariably meet the same fate, serving as a warning to those who would betray the Family's trust.
He is widowed, and has no plan to re-marry, instead focusing most of his interpersonal attentions on his step-daughter, who he loves as though she were his own flesh and blood. He hopes to groom her into a successful heir to the Family business, desiring her to succeed him as the new head of House when he retires from the game. He is also active in the lives of his underboss, one Solomon 'The Cook' Antinori, and his most trusted friend and advisor, Decimo. He is also the godfather to Solomon's twin children, whom he spoils with affection and gifts.
At the end of the day, Alessio is the big dog in charge of the Vassallo Family's affairs, and has the final say in all matters regarding the business. His word is law, though the consigliere (who is not recognized as an actual part of the Family heirarchy, and therefore, has no actual power in the organization officially) is, in fact, allowed to argue with him -- the only individual with such an honor. Alessio handles all disputes and business decisions, and leaves the finer details of execution and operation to his underboss to plan and carry out.
