Halfling Criminal Families

The Halfling community, though small in stature, is ridden with crime. These criminals are bound to their gang with complete loyalty. Each gang is led by a single family, so the gangs are often called "Families". The interesting common factor with the destroyed Families is that they were nearly all destroyed in the same way; a man marrying a daughter, then making off with the Family funds (gold, blackmailing information, jewels). Due to this fact, and the information that every one of these rogues had a beard, it is likely that Antonio Du Bec, Lord Peter Wimsey, Hugo Drake and Luca Brasi are all the same person.
==The Destroyed Familes==
The Corleons - Led by Vito Corleon, this Family was situated in the otherwise peaceful village of Greenhills. They specialised in smuggling drugs to the Halfling community. Destroyed by Antonio Du Bec.
The Pericuzios - Led by Dominico Pericuzio, this Family was situated in the town of Pamor. They specialised in running gambling houses. Destroyed by Silvertouch. Destroyed by Lord Peter Wimsey.
The Violas - Led by Astore Viola, this Family was situated in the city of Wiwic. They specialised in running the few Halfling brothels, and also lending money. Destroyed by Hugo Drake.
The Puzos - Led by Luigi Puzo, this Family lived away from the Halfling community and lived in the woods. They specialised in assassination and intelligence gathering. Destroyed by Lucas Brasi.
The Rizzis - Led by Carlo Rizzi, this Family was situated in nearly every Halfling town. They specialised in intimidation and muscling in to other Family's jobs. The Rizzis were despised by the other Families, and in one night all of the Rizzis were killed. Carlo Rizzi's body was never found.
==The Surviving Families==
The Valentis - Led by Nino Valenti. This Family is unique in the fact that they do not commit any criminal activities. They have given up crime, and simply settled feuds between the Families. Now, after the Great Families have been destroyed, they are turning back to crime, smuggling in goods.
The Drakes - Led by Tom Hagen. This is not technically a Family, as they are literally just a street gang, but because the Great Families have been destroyed, the Drakes are becoming criminal powerhouses. They are situated in Greenhills.
The Levins - Led by Ira Levin. Ira Levin is a female Halfling who was brought up in a Human city. With her three children, she moved back to the Kingdom of Luiren. She had a hard time settling, so created her own Family by employing twenty Orc mercenaries. The Orcs stayed on for half the price, due to the fact that Ira scared them so much, they were terrified to ask for more. They are reknowned for their strength, and are situated in Pamor.
