Sammy Finnegan

== Before the mafia ==
Sammy was Gareth's brother. He was killed by the former boss of the Millefiore Family, when he overheard a conversation between him and Kermit, the Green Father.
Unlike his brother Gareth, Sammy never met his father. His whole life he wondered what kind of man he was, but never wanted to ask his mother, who was very sick and could hardly leave her room. However. he often asked Gareth to tell him stories about him. Gareth, however, refused to tell him anything. Sammy hardly ever saw Gareth angry, but when he brought up their father Sammy saw a bad look in his eyes, the same look he got when he was fighting someone really tough. Eventually, he learned to stop asking. Sammy greatly admired Gareth, and he didn't want to make him mad.
Gareth was the closest thing to a dad Sammy ever had. When his mother had fallen asleep, Sammy used to sneak out to go watch Gareth's fights, even though he wasn't allowed to. To him, Gareth was like a superhero, and he wanted to be just like him. He knew his brother had a lot riding on his shoulders, having to make enough money fighting to buy food for the three of them, and pay for their mother's treatment. With that much responsibility, he really admired him for never complaining or breaking down.
Eventually their mother succumbed to her illness, and Gareth started becoming distant. He was gone very often and Sammy was left home alone. The house felt very big and Sammy felt very alone. He often went to the usual spot where Gareth used to have his fights, but he was never there either. He didn't know where he went during the day, but he knew he wasn't the same person he had known all these years. If this continued, the old Gareth would be lost forever.
Sammy learned to live more or less by himself. Gareth was more like a neighbor than a brother, and they barely saw each other. After a year or so, Gareth came home very happy, carrying a large bag of silver pieces. Sammy had never seen that much money in his life. Gareth explained that he had been approached by the boss of the Millefiore Family, who hired him as a bodyguard. He seemed really happy, but Sammy was suspicious of the whole situation. Why would a retired boxer be approached my the Millefiore Family out of nowhere? In any case, as long as Gareth stayed out of whatever trouble he had gotten himself in and made enough money, Sammy trusted him to know right from wrong.
