**Antonio Marcellino Vicario Blackwood** (September 17, 1892–June 21, 1921), mainly known as **Tony Vicario**, was an Italian-Terranovan mobster who founded Los Vicarios, also known as the Vicario Crime Family, along with his younger sister, Tatiana Vicario. He is also the adopted son of Jasmin Blackwood.

## Early Life

Antonio Marcellino Vicario was born on September 17, 1892, in Naples, Italy, to Rolando Vicario, an Italian chef, and his wife, Livia Thoreau. His younger sister, Tatiana Vicario, was born two years later. When Antonio was six years old, his parents were killed in a robbery gone wrong. He and his sister lived from hand to mouth; they learned how to survive on the streets and became involved in petty crimes. Eventually, they were put in foster care, where they spent several years. Despite being in foster care, Antonio and Tatiana took care of each other. In 1904, a rich couple, Jasmin Blackwood and Adrian Dean, came to visit the foster home. They saw 12 year old Antonio and decided to adopt him, but they couldn't adopt Tatiana. Antonio was devastated to leave his sister behind and tried everything to convince them to adopt his sister as well, but they refused. Antonio was taken to live with the couple in their mansion in Fortcester, Terranova living on Fortcester Avenue in Blackwood Village. He was given a good education, but he never forgot about his sister and always hoped to be reunited with her someday. Tony and Tatiana talked to each other every day and asked Jasmin if she could also adopt Tatiana, but she refused every time because she already had a daughter, Annabelle. This made Tony determined to provide a better life for himself and his sister. He founded Dos Vicarios when he was just 15 years old, trying to get money so he could get Tatiana, He made over $20,000 in just a few weeks from selling drugs and was able to fly Tatiana out to live with him. When Tatiana got to Terranova in 1908, Tony asked Jasmin and Adrian to take care of her too, and they yelled at him and said no. Tony and Tatiana ran away to Moravia. They start hustling on the streets of Moravia. At first, they were only involved with small-time crime, but over time, their influence grew and expanded into all areas of Moravian society. Dos Vicarios became a powerful criminal organization, controlling the drug trade, gambling, and even some legitimate businesses. Tatiana was initially hesitant about their rise to power, but the money and power were too tempting to resist. She became one of the most trusted members of Dos Vicarios, using her intelligence and charm to manipulate and control those around her.  They became a major player in the drug trade and were responsible for much of the illegal activity that took place in Moravia. As more people joined, they changed their name to Los Vicarios, and their power and influence continued to grow. Tony and Tatiana had achieved their dream of becoming successful drug lords. Tony married Azalea Sala, a beautiful woman who quickly became a key member of Los Vicarios. With her help, the organization expanded even further, branching out into new territories and establishing itself as one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the region.

In 1918, Tony and Azalea were walking down the street when they saw a little boy named Berto Dashwood at a gas station, hustling. Tony saw himself in Berto, took him under his wing, and showed him the ropes of the criminal underworld. Berto became one of Tony's most trusted associates. Tony had his niece, Carmela Torrez, murder Berto's parents, and he took Berto and Leilah in and treated them like their own children. Berto became a skilled member of Los Vicarios, while Leilah stayed out of the criminal world and pursued a career in law. Despite their success, Tony and Berto knew that their lifestyle was dangerous and could end in tragedy at any moment. They tried to shield Leilah from their criminal activities, but as they grew older, it became harder to keep them in the dark. Tony and Azalea lived each day knowing that their actions could have consequences for their family, but they were willing to take that risk to maintain their power and wealth.

By June of 1921, Leilah had found out Tony had murdered her parents but didn't want to tell Berto, so she decided to take care of it herself and hired Frank Colon, a hitman, to kill Tony. Leilah's plan succeeded, and Tony was found dead in his home a week later. Tony had a trust fund that he had set up for Azelea, Berto, and Leilah. He left Azalea with the majority of the funds, left Berto Los Vicarios, and left Leilah his house in Lake Rossmore.
