Clodomiro Gualtieri

**Clodomiro 'Terrorbane' Gualtieri** (born October 24, 1958-May 3, 2010) is a Terranovan mobster and the boss of the Cascadia Cartel. He was first described as a "Terrorbane" by President Blackwood-Vincent in 1993. Gualtieri's reign is considered one of the bloodiest and most ruthless in Terranova's history (behind Valentino Vicario), alongside his underboss and trusted lieutenant, Salvatore "The Butcher" Romano, who is known for his brutal tactics and unwavering loyalty to Gualtieri.

Gualtieri was born in Vidalez Valley, raised in a poor family, and exposed to a criminal life at a young age. He was physically abused by both his father and mother, and he became involved in the drug trade through his cousin, Sandeigo, who helped him distribute narcotics in their neighborhood and grow marijuana for local dealers during his teenage years. Gualtieri began working with the Valenti family, a notorious crime syndicate that was one of the most powerful and feared criminal organizations in Vidalez Valley, in the late 1970s. Gualtieri quickly rose through the ranks as a result of his ties to the Valenti family, becoming a trusted enforcer with a reputation for ruthlessness and cunning. He was transporting narcotics via Cascadia and establishing a vast network of distribution channels across the region. Gualtieri founded his own cartel in 1980, leveraging his connections and expertise gained from working with the Valenti family. With his newly formed cartel, Gualtieri expanded his operations beyond just drug trafficking, branching out into other lucrative illegal activities such as extortion and money laundering. His cartel soon became a dominant force in the criminal underworld, rivaling even the Valenti family in terms of power and influence.

Gualtieri started his criminal career in the South Crescent Street gang and was instrumental in the development of the gang's drug trafficking operations. He quickly rose through the ranks, gaining a reputation for his ruthless tactics and ability to evade law enforcement. Gualtieri's criminal empire expanded rapidly, extending its reach across multiple cities and even international borders. Gualtieri is considered the founding father of organized crime in Terranova for the establishment of the Cascadia Cartel in 1983, after he successfully merged several smaller criminal organizations under one unified operation. This move allowed the Cascadia Cartel to dominate the illegal drug trade in Terranova and solidify Gualtieri's power and influence in the criminal underworld. He was also the first to implement a strict code of conduct within the cartel, ensuring loyalty and discipline among its members.

In 2009, Gualtieri was charged with multiple counts of racketeering, drug trafficking, multiple counts of embezzlement, and the murders of his ex-business partner Yaakov Levine and his ex-wife, Jennifer Goodman. The pair were shot multiple times in a parking lot outside the Underground Vortex nightclub in downtown Vidalez Valley on the night of November 15, 2008. He was sentenced to 71 years in prison for his crimes. Gualtieri's arrest almost marked the downfall of his once powerful cartel, but Gualtieri's eldest son, Vincent Gualtieri Jr., quickly assumed control and managed to keep the cartel intact. Despite his previous reputation as a ruthless criminal, Vincent Gualtieri Jr. adopted a more discreet approach to avoid attracting unnecessary attention from law enforcement agencies. Under his leadership, the cartel expanded its operations internationally, establishing new connections and diversifying its illegal activities. This strategic shift allowed the cartel to maintain its influence and profitability despite ongoing investigations into their illicit operations.

Since the death of Novan Mafia boss Carlos "Scarface" Sanchez in January 2002, Gualtieri is currently the second-longest-serving crime boss in the Federal Republic of Terranova, dating back to his rise to power in the 1980s. Gualtieri has been serving a 71-year sentence since 2009 and is currently located at the Enigma Maximum Security Penitentiary, on Enigma Atoll, on multiple counts of racketeering, drug trafficking, multiple counts of embezzlement, and for the murders of his ex-business partner and his wife.
