Luca Pegorino

**Early Life**

Luca was born on April 10th, 1992 in Syracuse, Sicily into the Pegorino crime family. Growing up Luca saw many things that the average kid in Italy wouldn't have, such as drugs, guns, and more moving through the villa he grew up in. By age 13, Luca began his criminal career by getting himself arrested after robbing a small jewelry store with his friend Joey. Luca's mother, saw that her son was beginning to turn into his father, and wanted something more for him. The Pegorino family had a small branch in Liberty City, run by Luca's uncle, so Luca's mother brought him legally to Liberty city at the age of 15, under protection of the Liberty City branch hoping for him to have a better life. Of course, this didn't work out quite as well, as Luca began falling into the ranks of his Uncle's branch of the family. Often running with his cousin, Luca began to build up a quite the bragging sheet, stealing cars, running drugs, robbing people, the works. By age 20 Luca had made a good name for himself when all hell broke loose, and the Pegorino branch of Liberty City fell apart, and Luca had to disappear, making his way to No Sleep city.

**No Sleep City**

Luca arrived in No Sleep City in the summer of 2018, where starting slow he began to make more and more friends as he was looking for different opportunities to get him back on his feet. Eventually he met crime boss Tony Impavido in No Sleep city and fell in as a Soldati in the Impavido Mafia for a while, running different jobs for the mafia, and acting often as a bodyguard to Impavido. Luca quickly crawled his way up the ranks of the Impavidos and found himself as the Head of Security for the mafia, commanding a small team of bodyguards for different situations to protect Mr. Impavido. Luca was living the high life, living out of a big apartment, driving fancy cars, and making plenty of money in his new position, until the murder of Tony Impavido. In the Spring of 2019, Tony Impavido was assassinated by rival gang, the LS Vipers, and the Impavido Mafia imploded. FIB caught wind of this and in the same week, raided the Impavido Mansion in the Vinewood hills, seizing tons of drugs, dirty money, and illegally smuggled guns. 5 of the 8 remaining members of the Mafia were arrested and booked for an almost lifetime sentence, but Luca managed to get away.

**Opportunity City and Shadow City**

Luca moved away from No Sleep City in an attempt to clear his name and keep his identity hidden, and continued to float and look for work between Opportunity City and Shadow City in the summer of 2019, however to no avail. The law eventually caught up to Luca when his car was seized and small apartment off Grove St was raided by the LSPD, prompting him to take a long Hiatus through 2020 into mid 2021.

**Diamond City**

Luca arrived in Diamond City in the summer of 2021 after taking a long vacation, meeting a new friend Vincent Grapino. The two quickly became good friends and got into a good amount of trouble together doing various small time crimes in Diamond City. One day, Luca and Vincent went to rob a store off Senora FWY right south of Paleto Bay. Cracking into the safe they set off an alarm and a Police Detail show up with haste. Luca and Vincent decided it was for the best to avoid confrontation and handed themselves into the police, Luca receiving 15 months in prison, and Vincent 10 months. After serving his sentence, Luca met with two people as soon as he got out of the prison. These two had also met with Vincent before Luca had gotten out, and the two friends began hanging out with the LS Bloods as Soldiers. Luca is looking forward to this new opportunity to climb his way back to the top and be at the top of his game like he was once before.
