Di'Lamendolio

The Di Lamendolio Family were an organised crime family originally from the city of Luskan, as owners of entertainement venues; originally they dealt in chariot races and as bookmakers for betting. They became established and rose to prominence in Bracken in the 1400s, before splintering. Some of them went to Waterdeep (later Halcyon) where they became established in the hotel and casino businesses. 
== Bracken ==
They were one of the main factions that held power in Bracken, led by Grandfather Giuseppe di Lamendolio and his three daughters Kelita, Sikyli and Illwyn. Kessar Truespear and Kellen Brownwater joined the Family in 1490, hatching a plot from within that eventually culminated in the Battle of Bracken. After the family lost many troops and much of their estate there, the survivors fled to Waterdeep. Giuseppe and Illwyn were killed in the battle, and Kelita was presumed dead. Sikyli established the Di Lamendolio estate in Waterdeep in 1501. 
== Kelita the Black Sheep ==
Kelita di Lamendolio survived the battle, and remained in the city underground as 'Lady Milo' to establish The Serpent's Head. Her plotting came to fruition in 1513 when the Independent Contractors helped her take over the city, despite the efforts of the Union Hacks. 
== Waterdeep and Halcyon ==
By the mid-1500s, they had become re-established in the southeast of Waterdeep. They owned many hotels. One of these, the Gold Ring, was bombed by the Red Hand. As such, the Agents of Chaos crossed paths with them several times; they learnt that the Family paid off some of the Waterdeep City Watch too.
In Halcyon, they snapped up many ludicrous enterprises. They owned the Blackstar Racecourse and many hotels in the central/south of the city.
