The Cassano Family

HAHAHAHAH

**The Cassano Family**, also known as the **Cassanos,** is a mafia based in Diamond City with infamous sharpshooters and experiet members of the Cassanos come from Milan, Italy.

## Epilogue of The Cassano Family

With the rise of many rival gangs in Diamond City, The Cassano Family decided to pull out of the city.

## Overview

The mafia consists of nine members, all of whom are highly skilled in crime and combat. Each member wears a black fedora to represent the Cassanos. The Cassanos vehicles are distinguished with their matte ice white wrap with white under-glow. Among their crimes are robberies, kidnappings, murders, etc.

## Origins

**The Cassano Family** and most of its members originate from Milan, Italy. This mafia is considered to be one of Italy's most dangerous mafias and are highly notorious throughout Europe. This mafia started from Francesco Cassano, the main leader of the main branch of **The Cassano Family** in a small rural area in Milan and has ever since gained notoriety. From dirty work and assassinating corrupt politicians, the **Cassanos** have made a name for themselves throughout Europe. The main branch of **The Cassano Family** is located in Milan along with their main headquarters. Sometime in the past, Francesco's son, Vincenzo Cassano, moved away from Italy and decided to create a sub-branch of **The Cassano Family** in Diamond City with the help of Tucker Mayor. These two recruited 7 other members while in Diamond City and finally formed the **Cassanos**.

## Present Day

As of present, The Cassano Family is going through many changes in command as two members of high command decided to part ways from the Cassanos as they felt they needed more power and influence throughout the city. Two soldiers were removed from the Cassanos as one of them had taken a permanent flight and the other is busy with work in MIlan.

Due to these series of unfortunate events, the Cassanos have decided to lay low and start training more soldiers. They have also requested a man of high status to join them from Italy to fill in the remaining caporegime slot. With these events going on, the Cassanos will make a comeback and their crime syndicate will flourish again.

## Hierachy and Rules

Mirroring the metaphorical representation of the group as a six-legged spider, The Cassano Family is composed of 9 members, one "head", one "body", one pair of "fangs", and six "legs". The two front "legs" are seen as captains and the four back "legs" are seen as the soldiers. Each leg of the spider are assigned tasks based on each member's individual skills or volunteering. The "head" and "body" are the leaders, whose orders are to be considered the utmost priority. The "fangs" is the underboss and is expected to organize the "legs" and follow the orders of the "head" and "body". The "legs" are expected to always adhere to the governing principle that the prosperity of the group as a whole trumps the survival of any one of its individuals.

The Cassano Family frequently gathers together and holds mandatory meetings. Skipping a mandatory meeting could result in one of the "legs" being punished by the "head" and "body".

Other than following the "head" and "body"'s directives and the City Official's laws, there are no specific lines of conducts the "legs" are expected to follow. It is also stated that the "head" of the family frequently flies out to Milan, Italy and leaves the control to the "body".

## Omertà (Code of Silence)

*"Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without police protection is both. It is as cowardly to betray an offender to justice, even though his offences be against yourself, as it is not to avenge an injury by violence. It is dastardly and contemptible in a wounded man to betray the name of his assailant, because if he recovers, he must naturally expect to take vengeance himself."*

Those who break the law of **Omertà** will be punished by **death**.
