Luca Calinezzi

‘Please, sit. I don’t believe we’ve met…?’ Amelio trailed off. The giant of a man tutted and shook his head as he sat down, setting his hat onto the table, giving a glint of golden cufflinks tying his cuffs together. Shadows danced across his golden signet ring as he raised it. Amelio squinted, as the crest came into focus. Two black buzzards and two green pomegranates on a golden mauve shield.‘Amelio, Amelio. You know me.’ he tutted. Amelio inhaled sharply.‘Calinezzi? You’re a Calinezzi?’ he replied, half in awe, half in fear, as the man nodded. He continued. ‘The richest family in Waterdeep.You’re the mafia. You’ve got half the Guardia on your payroll, you own nearly every distillery within the city limits, most the hotels, and every single bookie on every street corner answers to you’ he finished, short of breath. The stranger nodded in agreement slowly, grinning, and took the toothpick out of his mouth with a tut, pointing it at himself. He extended his other hand toward Amelio.‘Luca Calinezzi. Head of Calinezzi Company Limited. Pleasure to meet you, Lord Cassalanter’ he remarked as they shook hands.- Amelio Cassalanter meets Luca.
Luca Bastiano Ravello Calinezzi was the eldest son of Lucrezzia Calinezzi, and heir of the Calinezzi estate. He was head of Calinezzi Company Limited since 1510 or so. 
He was a tall man who usually wore a long black coat, suit and tie, expensive pocket watch and an askew black trilby. He kept a toothpick in his mouth, for he had quit smoking. He was heavily inspired by Adrian Brody's portrayal of a very similarly named gangster.
In 1520, he threatened Amelio Cassalanter, and forced him to sign over the entirety of the assets of Cassalanter Industries to the Calinezzi Company Limited. 
His mother fell sick in winter 1521 whilst he was on a business trip to Kalyr (where he successfully signed a deal for Clan MacDeídhre to buy quantities of his family's Black Buzzard). As such, he promised to pay the West Marchers 150gp to allow him passage on the Spear.
Whilst aboard, he formed a fairly intimate relationship with Catriona MacGillivray whilst sailing on the Spear. However, Soot snuck into his room, revealed himself to Luca whilst he was under a paralysis spell, and then shot him in the head with his own gun. This prompted the Calinezzi family to call a vendetta.
