**Remo Falcone** (born February 5, 2002) is a main character in the Camorra Chronicles and a minor character in the Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, the Mafia Standalone *Fragile Longing* and in the Sins of the Fathers. He is the son of Benedetto and Nera Falcone and brother to Nino, Savio and Adamo, and is the half-brother of Ryan Trevisan. He is also the husband of Serafina Mione and father to twins Nevio and Greta and son Giulio.

## Personality

Self-described as the cruelest man of the West and called by others the madman of Las Vegas, Remo is brutal, sadistic, and twisted. He revels in torture and saying cruel words and has an almost hair-trigger temper, even small words and actions can anger him.

Kiara accurately describes Remo as full of hate and anger and due to this he was not very content or happy until his love for Serafina and his children. He often felt the need to destroy or crush things simply out of hate and rage, like when he wanted to squash the white floral on Serafina's limo before kidnapping her.

Remo is arguably the most immoral Capo as he does not spare women and is fine with having his Romancers manipulate them, break their hearts, and force them to work in the Sugar Trap or other establishments. In comparison, Dante and Luca both spare women in most situations, and the women who work in the Outfit and the Famiglia do so of their own volition, not by sex trafficking.

Despite that, he is not without honorable traits. He is incredibly loyal and will stop at nothing to protect those he sees under his protection, including his brothers even when they can protect himself. Even before he grew to care for Kiara in a more personal way, he was protective of her and made sure everyone knew she was under his protection. Nino says in *Twisted Bonds* that he's a "loyal fucker" and when he lets someone into his heart, he'll never let them out again.

Though an immoral man like all Made Men, Remo does have morals that never waver. He voiced to Kiara his adamance that children and underage girls are never touched in his territory, and he is simultaneously disgusted and enraged at any sort of sexual assault on children and will punish those guilty of allowing it (like Eden) or committing it severely. It was also said that before testing Fabiano's loyalty in *Twisted Loyalties* he never punished debtors through their families, only punishing the debtors themselves. Nino further confirms this in *Twisted Pride* when he says that before Serafina's kidnapping, they never laid a hand on someone who did not deserve it.

Remo has an understanding of needing revenge and therefore saves Eden and Dinara's past abusers so Dinara can decide their fates as it is her right. He did however take actions to make sure they never touched a child again.

His mother was the one thing that was truly his weakness. Her actions also resulted in his deeply rooted misogyny. Because his mother did nothing to protect her children or herself and instead tried to kill her own sons to punish her husband, Remo was left with the belief that women are the weaker sex, which is his justification for his romancers as he believes they shouldn't let themselves be weak enough to be manipulated. Though women like Kiara and Serafina can gain his respect and he dotes on Greta, his general misogyny remains as late as *By Fate I Conquer*.

Unlike many other made men who can act gentlemanly and controlled in more professional settings or weddings and events, Remo regularly curses and says inappropriate or provocative things as he simply does not care how people feel about him and whether he upsets them.

Though he originally claimed that love was a weakness and he had no capability to love - even using cruel words to push Serafina away because of his feelings for her - his love for his brothers was always undeniable even if it was never said out loud and only through actions. Remo also explicitly verbalized that he loved Fabiano as a brother as early in the series as *Twisted Loyalties*.

After his marriage to his wife and meeting the twins, he became less angry and full of hate and allowed the feeling of love inside him more strongly. Remo has always had a twisted sense of humor.

While he can't exactly feel pity or sympathy, when it comes to those he cares about he does try to help them, like when he comforted Kiara about her problem conceiving and even offered her his sperm if needed, explicitly telling her that he wanted her and Nino to get their wish of having a child.

Remo is a family man through and through. He traded his life for Adamo's and slit his wrists without hesitation to save Kiara and Alesia. In Twisted Hearts, Savio says he would die a thousand deaths to protect his family.

For all his twisted madness, Remo is dangerously intelligent, able to predict others' behaviors with their emotions and twist Serafina's words during disagreements when she was a captive. Remo's intelligence is more emotion-based than Nino who is purely logical.

## Born in Blood

### Bound by Love

At the age of seventeen, he ran away from his boarding school in order to take over the West. He is described as a *born and bred killer*. He shows up in New York to seek alliances and support from Luca Vitiello as he plans to kill his father to take over as Capo. He is described as more crazy than Luca and Matteo combined, and constantly wears a twisted smile on his face.

## Camorra Chronicles

### Twisted Emotions

It was revealed that when Remo was ten years old, his mother went insane and tried to kill her sons and kill herself. She mutilated Nino and Savio but couldn't get to Remo, who was already a very aggressive child. She decided to leave him alone and set the cabin out in the Rockies on fire so they could die from agony. He began ripping the curtains off, burning himself, while Nera kept trying to fight him and cut his face multiple times. He managed to throw a lamp and break a window and save his brothers, helping Nino jump out and took Savio in his arms. He broke his elbow and shoulder trying to break Savio's fall.

Help comes and they get Nera Falcone out, who was pregnant with Adamo. Adamo is born via C-section.

When he was 14 years old, his father sent him off to England with his brothers to a boarding school in the countryside north of Norwich. At this point Remo had already been inducted and had already killed a few men.

### Twisted Pride

In *Twisted Pride* Remo, steals away Serafina, Dante Cavallaro's (boss of the Outfit) niece. Remo is seen to be his version of generous to her. He kills a man who tries to get off on her body, and when making a video as a message to her family he shows weakness that he never wants to hurt her again. Remo and Serafina fall in love, he takes her virginity and sends her back to the Outfit. Little does he know that she was pregnant when she was sent back. Serafina goes through the pregnancy by herself. Later when Remo's little brother Adamo gets caught he offers himself for Adamo. Serafina learns of this and goes after Remo with the twins so they can be happy. She successfully gets Remo out but as a traitor to the Outfit and her family. Remo and Serafina after sorting things out get married realizing they love each other and their children more than anything.
