Sal Sticky Fingers

Sal 'Sticky Fingers', full name Salvatore, is a petty, cowardly gangsterVault 76 dweller: "You can't collect the caps yourself?"Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) in the Lombardi Family of Atlantic City .
==Background==
A lesser son of greater mobsters, Sal's father was an influential, respected member of the Lombardi Family before the Great War, which all but guaranteed that Sal would also become a made man - a Wise Guy - of Acee.Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) Unfortunately, his son is a far cry from the mobster his father was, and as such doesn't get even a fraction of the respect his parent did.Vault 76 dweller: "Are you a Wise Guy?"Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) He compensates for it with an inflated ego, confidence worthy of a better cause,Vault 76 dweller: "Who's in charge around here?"Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) and an endless stream of get rich quick schemes. He overestimates his abilities consistently, usually using big words he doesn't actually understand, which means he's nothing like the multiplication table for caps he claims to be, and certainly cannot quadruple ten caps into fifty like that.Vault 76 dweller: "What exactly do you do here?"Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue)
The combination of incompetence and inability to realize it has kept him dangling at the bottom of the mafia hierarchy, while lack of skills beyond petty crime has made switching occupations difficult.Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) It frustrates Sal to no end and he feels underappreciated,Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) as such he suffers a perpetual bad mood.Vault 76 dweller: "Why the attitude?"Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) Since few of his fellow mobsters respect him, he's taken to keeping his endeavors under wraps and playing them close to the chest. As a few of them actually work out in the end, he keeps some semblance of dignity and respect. Since few care about him, nobody usually corrects him when he tries to pass himself off as more important than he actually is,Vault 76 dweller: "Do the others know you did this?"Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) or fools gullible tourists into getting involved in his schemes, promising millions.Vault 76 dweller: "I'll do it."Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) His latest attempt at getting rich involves replacing slot machines at the Neapolitan with broken ones that simply swallow gamblers' caps instantly.Vault 76 dweller: "Billy said you could use my help with something."Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue)
When not trying to pull off such a scheme, he brainstorms them,Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) staying afloat with a combination of petty thievery (to the point of being called a kleptomaniac),Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) pickpocketing,Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue)Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) and trying to con people into buying him booze.Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) He doesn't consider it petty thievery, but rather a way of "collecting" his dues, like the Munis do.Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) Not that he respects the Munis: As a "career" mobster, Sal thinks the world of the mob, despite his scheming. He sincerely believes they are the true stars of Acee and even its heroes, as part of the peace deal that keeps the triad alive and the city marching forward. He treats the other two factions with casual contempt.Vault 76 dweller: "What exactly do the Wise Guys do?"Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) The Showmen are nothing but weirdoes combining clown acts with viciousness comparable to starved, rabid hyenas as far as he's concerned,Vault 76 dweller: "What can you tell me about the Showmen?"Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) while the government are dullards unworthy of note, as nobody comes to Acee for the crops, but rather, for the casinos.Vault 76 dweller: "Tell me about the civilian government."Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) He's completely oblivious as to the fact all three factions need to cooperate for the city to work.Vault 76 dweller: "Does the mafia own this place?"Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue)
Similarly, he's completely oblivious to the fact that he's his own greatest enemy. Most mobsters refuse to play poker with him, as Sal cheats liberally,Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) and the only person willing to work with him, Billy Beltbuckles, is only doing so because there's nobody else around. Sal was once Billy's best and closest friend,The Neapolitan Casino terminal entries; Billy's personal terminal, Personal Logs, Entry 2 until one night at Quentino's Night Club. Shortly after Billy was made accountant, Sal decided to play a prank on Billy and pull down his pants in front of the entire Lombardi Family. Unfortunately, his sticky fingers resulted in him tearing the pants clean off, leaving Billy in a panic and running around half-naked screaming. Billy's been traumatized by the event, but Sal refuses to even entertain the notion that he may have done something improper, if not downright cruel to the boy.Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) To him, Billy's just too sensitive.Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue)
===Nickname===
While his penchant for larceny and pickpocketing might seem like the root of his mob nickname, Sal actually got burdened with it due to his sweaty palms. The sweat evaporates, leaving his hands sticky, thus the name. Sal claims that his doctor said he sweats normally,Vault 76 dweller: "Why do they call you Sticky Fingers?"Sal Sticky Fingers: " "(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) as did Muni medics,Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue) but in truth, Sal's hands sweat and he's been saddled with the nickname. He is desperate to wash it off, but no matter how much he washes his hands and tries to get rid of it, it sticks.Sal Sticky Fingers: ""(Sal Sticky Fingers' dialogue)
