Millefiore Family

== Origins ==
The Millefiore family can have their roots traced back to the Hanseatyn Free Kingdom, to the city of Sicilia.
“Timoteo Primo” was born in said city, belonging to a crime family since birth. However after the boss disposed of the young boy’s father in secret, Timoteo used his inheritance of gold and connections to eventually overthrow the boss and create a new family from the dismantled one. Naming it “Millefiore Family”, meaning “Family of the Sky” or “Family of Heaven” in Hansean Elven.
The Mafia family then quickly grew to be one of the most powerful mafia families in the region, famous for having the strongest fighters in the whole mafia. The group contained many members at its peak, but most famously included Gareth Finnegan who had been hired as a body guard, and Talio Heinrik who had been adopted by the boss as a child.
However, after Talio discovered of the boss´s dealings with the Green Father he assassinated the boss. Dismantling the mafia family in the ensuing confusion.
== The New Millefiore ==
Many years later during the construction of the Ladian Empire, Talio decided to create his own Mafia family and revitalized the name “Millefiore Family”. The old name was kept because Talio and Gareth both still believed in the ideals the old boss had taught them but never fulfilled, and as an invitation to any members of the old family who desired to either challenge them or make a new path.
However due to Talio´s and Gareth´s position in the Ladian Empire the family was bound to deviate from other mafia organizations. Seeing as they not only control the family, but also control the systems of law in the Empire. For this reason the family actively works alongside the guards and military, taking on most of the investigation work and more specialized cases.
In this sense the family works as both a specialized group in the Ladian law, and a private enterprise of skilled bodyguards and investigators.
Talio has many goals set for the mafia family, from growing up in a busy town he knows that eventually these nefarious groups from around the world are going to want to sneak inside the Ladian Empire and they need a group capable of not only stopping them, but override their influence. But Talio also knows that he will one day step down from the Ladian Empire, and wishes to have a group to watch the world from behind the curtain in his stead, to make sure the freedom of the people remained has he envisioned.
=== Organization ===
Even though the nefarious activities and the code of honor (Omerta) have been cut out, the structure of the family remains the same as most of the other mafia families.
However what distinguishes the Millefiore from other mafia families is the use of the Cielo Gears, magical weapons made by the old boss Timoteo Primo. Each guardian of the family possessed one of this powerful items, but as of right now the family only has the Cielo Gear: Snow that Talio stole long ago, and the Cielo Gear: Lightning owned by Gareth. Talio wishes to gather all the Cielo Gears once again, however his responsibilities have been in the way as of the present moment.
Talio is the boss of the family with Gareth as the right hand man. However because Talio and Gareth are more often than not busy, as of right now Talio appointed his adoptive daughter Sara Orilen to do most of the managerial work of the family.
