## Events of Stories Uncaged

### A Deadly Escort

Niceforo was first interrogated after mobster Vasco Cascone revealed where he was hiding. Vasco said Niceforo wanted to talk to the team about the Saviors. When Zelma and the player arrived, Niceforo fully welcomed them. He said he wanted to discuss the Saviors and mentioned that he first heard about them after they killed one of their own a few days ago. Zelma and the player told Niceforo that Adelasia's killer, Saviors member Rick Norton, was found dead today. Niceforo didn't even flinch at the news and then thanked the police for giving him some much needed good news.

Niceforo was interrogated again after speaking on the radio stations, threatening the Saviors to fight him face-to-face, or else they would all end up like Rick Norton. When Zelma and the player grilled Niceforo about this, he denied having anything to do with Rick's murder, saying that someone had already taken care of him before him and his men could do anything. Niceforo then celebrated again and ate a bowl of spaghetti, before telling the team to leave him alone for a while.

Niceforo was found to be innocent after the team convicted journalist Xander Dumass for Rick's murder.

### A Heated Argument

Niceforo was later interrogated after Connor and the player found CCTV footage of him in Samuel Williams' factory. The duo then asked Niceforo about him being in Samuel's factories, and Niceforo said that he was going to have a meeting with Samuel. Niceforo said that he owned several businesses in his hometown of Ustica and wanted to make a deal about exporting goods that only exist in Italy with Samuel. When asked about the late janitor Dallevante Nash's murder, Niceforo said he had no idea who that was.

Niceforo was interrogated again after Connor and the player found a crosshair on Dallevante's face in the employees' list with Niceforo's fingerprints on it. Niceforo said that he knew Dallevante as he used to dispose of bodies for the Peirano family back when he was young. However, Dallevante was arrested after and sent to prison for five years, causing him to turn to the cops' side and get several of Niceforo's mob members arrested. Niceforo saw Dallevante as a traitor and wanted him dead, but thought it would be too messy as he was in Emerald City for business, not revenge.

Niceforo was found to be innocent after the team arrested factory worker Riley Houghton for Dallevante's murder.

After Riley's arrest, Niceforo called the police about an explosion at his nightclub. He feared some of his men could've been trapped inside, so he asked the team to investigate.

### Be Careful What You Eat

Niceforo was later interrogated after Giles and the player arrived at his nightclub to see what was happening. Shortly after, they found mobster Vasco Cascone dead. Niceforo was livid and said that Vasco was incredibly strong and agile and was an asset to the Peirano family. Niceforo then left and said that if he found Vasco's killer before the team did, he would kill them himself.

Niceforo was interrogated again after Giles and the player found a recording of his conversation with one of his men, claiming that Vasco could potentially be a traitor. When asked about it, Niceforo explained that Vasco has been disobedient for several days by not following his orders. He believed Vasco may be plotting something dangerous and planned on betraying him.

Niceforo was found to be innocent after the team arrested harlot Sabrina Cooley for Vasco's murder.

### In the Maze of Secrets

Niceforo was later interrogated after informant Spencer Fleming told the team that the Peirano family is near the factory and that their boss is fuming. When Giles and the player went to calm Niceforo down, he said that he came to the factory the team was investigating at in order to obliterate all the Saviors after he found out they were responsible for Adelasia and Vasco's murders. When the duo asked him about the death of police commissioner Oscar Yates, Niceforo said that Yates had been a thorn in his side for years and had tried to shut down several of his operations. He said that on one instance, he tried to bribe Oscar, only for him to take the money and arrest his men anyways.

Niceforo was interrogated again after Giles and the player found a picture of a much younger Oscar with a bullet through his head. Niceforo explained that back in Sicily, Oscar was a police officer who worked there temporarily. Yates busted Niceforo's family home and shot his sister and cousins dead, even when they had nothing to do with his business. Niceforo swore he would get revenge on the pig, but that he couldn't because someone got to him first.

Niceforo was found to be innocent after the team convicted CEO Samuel Williams for Oscar's murder.

### The Headless Order

Niceforo was later interrogated after Giles and the player found a bottle of ibuprofen imported from Sicily. Knowing that Niceforo uses ibuprofen and imports goods from Italy for his company, the duo decided to catch up with him. When they asked him what he was doing in Hurk Street, he said he was moving his mob there after half of them were wiped out by the Saviors. Niceforo said that the Saviors pissed him off beyond belief and that he's finally willing to wage a war for them for messing with him. He said he heard about Saviors member Leonardo Dicapricorn's murder and laughed about it since the Savior finally got a taste of his own medicine.

Niceforo was interrogated again after Giles and the player found a list of closed small businesses, all of which were owned by Niceforo. When the duo asked him about this, Niceforo said that the Saviors had Leonardo destroy all his businesses by exploiting his resources and replacing them with fake profits. Niceforo went bankrupt in a week, which angered him to the point that he ordered his men to kill anyone they see with the Saviors symbol on them on sight.

In the end, it was revealed that Niceforo was Leo's killer.

Upon admitting to the murder, Niceforo said he grew tired of the poor attempts of the Saviors trying to get rid of them every day by shootings on the streets and causing scandals with them, so he decided to send them a message himself. He knocked Leo out and dragged his body to the police station parking lot where he cut off his head and threw it into the station to let the team know they're done with the police and they don't fear them or the Saviors anyone.

Since the prisons aren't safe anymore due to the Saviors, the team decided to let Niceforo flee the city. Later, mayor Glukhov Rasputin came to the station and said that the Saviors are currently holding Niceforo hostage.

### Saviors Rule, Traitors Drool

It was revealed by Glukhov that he freed Niceforo and that the two of them are on the run and plan to flee the city and go visit Niceforo's family members.

## Events of Tales From Greensin

### Blindness, Coma, Death

Niceforo was later interrogated after Pat and the player realized that the late mobster Giuseppe Di Lorenzo worked under Niceforo who is currently in Greensin. Niceforo said he came to visit family members after the bombing in Emerald City. He said that it was a pure coincidence that most of his men were now stationed in Greensin and that he now has serious competition against Casimiro Dezario.

Niceforo was interrogated again after Pat and the player found threats telling Giuseppe's killer to face him or run. When Pat and the player asked him about this, Niceforo said that he's certain Giuseppe's killer killed him in order to get closer to him. After Pat pointed out how egotistical it sounded, Niceforo reminded him of the power he had and told the duo that if they don't find Giuseppe's killer, he will and he'll make them pay.

Niceforo was found to be innocent after the team arrested junior journalist Tobias Wilford for Giuseppe's murder.
