Saints && CopyCats

The Saints

» » Eric McManus ;; 58 ;; Il Duce
Play-By: Billy Connelly

Ask anyone who’s ever heard of Il Duce and they’ll tell you one thing: that man’s loose cannon. Employed by the Yakavetta Crime family of Boston in his younger days, he was known for his ability to heartlessly and quickly clip off people who were of a problem to the Family. There was only one rule: no women and no children. He left Connor and Murphy’s life at a young age, almost before they were too young to remember him, but joined them in their mission from God to rid the world of Evil. Underneath everything, he really does have a kind heart, especially when it comes to his family and innocents. » » ~~Connor McManus ;; 27~~
Play-By: Sean Patrick Flannery

When describing either of the McManus brothers, there are several things that must be noted, first of which how close the twins are. The two of them learned that there is very little in the world that you can rely on, and one of those things is family. Each would do anything for the other, as has been proven time and time again. Secondly, they are highly religious. Receiving a strict Catholic upbringing, both brothers seem to attend Church every morning. And lastly, whether one would believe it not based on their history, the McManus brothers are highly intelligent, speaking five languages fluently at their mother’s insistence. Their religious convictions sent them a message after they had killed three members of the Russian Mafia in self defense that they were to rid the world of evil. A shared mission from a shared life, the two brothers do have their differences. While neither knows which one is older, Connor certainly acts like it. While he is prone to taking flights of fancy from inspirations such as television and has a sense of humor is a bit more brash than his brother’s,he's always been the protective one and would do anything for his twin. » » ~~Murphy McManus ;; 27~~
Play-By: Norman Reedus

When describing either of the McManus brothers, there are several things that must be noted, first of which how close the twins are. The two of them learned that there is very little in the world that you can rely on, and one of those things is family. Each would do anything for the other, as has been proven time and time again. Secondly, they are highly religious. Receiving a strict Catholic upbringing, both brothers seem to attend Church every morning. And lastly, whether one would believe it not based on their history, the McManus brothers are highly intelligent, speaking five languages fluently at their mother’s insistence. Their religious convictions sent them a message after they had killed three members of the Russian Mafia in self defense that they were to rid the world of evil. A shared mission from a shared life, the two brothers do have their differences. As with Connor, neither brother knows which one is the older twin, but Murphy always does seem like the younger one. While he usually is the one with the cool and level head, Murphy always has sort of looked up to his brother. He's always been protected by him and looks to him for reassurance in more difficult situations.

The Copycat Saints

»~~Coleman Benson ;; 27~~

A hopeful doctor, Coleman has his own view out of the trinity about evil. To him, it’s a disease, a plague that eats away at the body and soul alike. Unlike the brothers, he has a less poetic view of the world, seeing everything in a scientific slant that many saw as mad. In his mind, their quest is not one of spiritual or poetic purification, but of a more medical sort. In his mind, he, Michael, and Joshua are ridding the world of a dangerous illness, one that if not dealt with at its most heinous levels, would spread throughout humanity. His medical knowledge is what is used to mutilate the bodies the way they are, each cut, each break, every mangled limb as precise as if it had been planned out. »Michael Lorenz ;; 26

Out of the three, it is Michael who is the religious one. Having lost his mother at a young age, he took solace in religion to get him through this rough patch in his life, and has kept his faith ever since. It is he who identifies the most with the Saints message, and he who convinced his brother and best friend to take up their cause in their absence. He might not be a saint, but he can still perform miracles, he tells people, and his major miracle will to be to rid the world of evil. The idea of relics came from him, due to the fact that with each murder is a token of his of his acts, a proclamation of his righteous behavior. »Joshua Lorenz ;; 27

Joshua's always been the quiet, artistic one. Ever since he was a little boy, he would spend every Saturday at the Met, admiring the various works of art in the building, he lives in a world of symbols. Symbols which his older brother used to draw him into his cause. He was the one who had doubts about their actions, believing that killing was wrong through and through. But the thrill of the kill got to him. The poem was something he just jotted down quickly one day in his pocket, and after their first murder it just seemed fitting to drop it upon the mangled corpse. It has been a tradition ever since.

Law Enforcement

» » Paul Smecker ;; 42 ;; FBI –Organized Crime Task Force
Play-By: Willem Dafoe

It has been said that the more a person knows, the more arrogant they become. Agent Smecker is the prototype for this statement. His work in the field is nothing but genius; heck, the guy’s cleared more cases than most in his division, but with this success comes a chip on his shoulder. Some would say that he deserves to be a little cocky, with detection abilities that rival those of Sherlock Holmes, but others would disagree. Outright rude to many of the city police officials, he treats them like a bunch of morons who made it onto the police force by sheer fluke. While humans make mistakes, Smecker is not very forgiving about them, and will often point them out in front of the entire force. He sees himself as a man bound to uphold the law, to put criminals behind bars, yet he truly believes that what the McManus brothers are doing is correct and intends to help them carry out their mission.
» Andrew Harris ;; 40 ;; NYPD --Chief of Police

The son of one New York senator Andrew Harris, Andrew Harris II followed in his father's steps to greatness. One of the greatest chiefs that the city ever had, he's a complex man who doesn't view things in the the black or white way that many of his officers do, but rather in varying shades of gray. Life to him is nothing more than interpritation, a fact that can get on his officer's nerves from time to time as he tries to rationalize somebody's actions from their point of view, but it also makes him a more compassionate man. The kind of guy you could go to if you needed a favor, Andrew would never turn you away and would do everything in his power to help you. » »~~Steve Greenley ;; 34 ;; NYPD -- Detective~~
Play-By: Bob Marley (the commedian)

~~famous~~

» Caroline James ;; 28 ;; NYPD- Forensic Psychologist

No matter what she does, Caroline, or Dr. James to those who really get on her nerves, always seems to be the butt of every joke at the P.D. She works hard, between developing most of the training programs that are implemented at the station to evaluating potential police recruits to testing current officers, there’s no doubt about that. But the people on the force just don’t seem to appreciate that. Giving her a hard time during trainings and resisting many of the changes she would like to implement, they definitely don’t make her job easy. But Caroline is a very patient person who can take everything in stride and therefore accomplish a lot. » Eleanor Seyton ;; 30 ;; NYPD- SVU

A single mother of two young boys, Eleanor has the mothering thing down to a ‘t’. Maybe that’s what makes her so good at her job: her ability to comfort somebody, earn their trust with her soft-spoken ways, and get them to reveal entire traumatic events to her over a cup of coffee. A small woman, she looks very easy to intimidate, but has proven time and time again that she can hold her own. Many of the people in New York have learned this the hard way, especially when they’re at the receiving end of one of her rants. A very frightening woman when she’s angry, she doesn’t lose her temper often, but when she does, it’s best to take cover. » Jocelyn Harris ;; 26 ;; Prosecutor

The younger sister of Andrew Harris, Jocelyn is yet another child in the line of legends. While her brother sees everything in shades of gray, everything with Jocelyn is in black and white. Either something's right or wrong with no in between. It's a quality that makes her difficult to deal with at times, especially when she has her, what many have come to call, self righteous attitude. A newly bar certified lawyer, she's working in the District Attorney's office as a prosecutor. The glamor that she invisioned in law school is far from what she had grown to believe, and has grown a bit cynical in her views of the world from dealing with criminal case after criminal case.» Gaspar Silva ;; 29 ;; Police Detective - Agent for Latin Mafia

It's every crime boss's dream to have a police officer on the payroll, somebody to smooth over any wrinkles that might occur during any routine day in the business. And for the Manez crime family, this dream is a reality. Gaspar's father was friends with the head of the family from a young age, and the kid became of quite an interest to the syndicate. With a big additude, many doubted that Gaspar would pass the screenings for potential officers. But Don Manez greased some palms on the inside. And to return the favor, Gaspar has been the Family's loyal agent ever since.

The Italian Mafia

The Moretti Crime Family

» Vincenzo Moretti ;; 56 ;; Head of the Moretti Crime Family

Vincenzo Moretti is the embodiment of everything that the old mafia has come to represent. Many people who are not famaliar with his business have come to consider him to be something of a modern Godfather. A just man who tries to stick to the old fashioned ways of looking after his own, the restpect that he has earned throughout the New York underworld has made it so no Family has ever waged war against him. These qualities made him the perfect candidate for the Italian crime families to unite under. » Helen Moretti ;; 53 ;; Wife of Vincenzo Moretti

The husband of Don Vincenzo Moretti, Helen is the daughter of college professors. Intelligent and classic, she met her husband when she at one of the city’s many local cafes. Sitting at a small table with a group of friends, three men were arguing at a nearby table, their language growing profane. Vincenzo walked over to Helen’s table to apologize, and the rest is history. A graceful, elegant woman, she has an air about her that commands respect. A major patron of the arts in New York, she has made many generous donations to the various museums and theaters throughout the city. »~~Joseph Moretti ;; 33; Underboss of the Moretti Crime Family~~

Authoritative doesn't even begin to cover Joe's behaviors. Reared knowing that he would one day take over his father's sprawling organization, he definitely acts the part. Since the Families have allied under his father, Joseph has been placed in a position of prestige that most members of any crime organization could only dream of. When he says jump, he practically demands that people ask how high. Lacking many of the qualities of his father, a nasty temper resides within him, making him the type of man you wouldn’t want to anger. Despite this, he does have a kinder side, especially when it comes to personal family members, women, and children: lay hand on any of the above and he’ll make sure you don’t see the light of day. ~~» Anthony Moretti ;; 30 ;; Family Lawyer (consigliore)~~

Charming, charismatic, intelligent, Anthony is everything that you would expect a Moretti male to be. Words have always been this man’s playthings, and he knows how to mold them into masterpieces. He has a sharp wit about him, the sort that can entertain a room for hours on end and his silver tongue can make you believe that night is day and day is night. Responsible for keeping the family out of legal trouble, he often spends long hours at the small practice his family owns, trying to cover up any illegitimate traces of family business from the cops and FBI and fish the family out of any legal trouble it may be in. » ~~Francesca Moretti ;; 28 ;; Daughter of Vincenzo Moretti~~

While she may not act like it at times, Francesca is every bit her father's daughter, inheriting almost all of his genes. A graduate student at Columbia University, she is working on her PhD in History, a situation that couldn’t have made her happier. A highly intelligent young woman,she’s a civilian in the eyes of the Family, and that is how she wishes for it to remain.

Tornincasa Crime Family

» Avalon Tornincasa ;; 32 ;; Don of the Tornincasa Crime Family

After his father's death, Avalon took over as the head of the Tornincasa family. It was probably one of the worst things that happened according to some. Brash and impulsive with a short fuse, Avalon is a ticking time bomb. To approach him in a confrontation never has a good outcome for his opponents and to disagree with him is to be found floating face down in a river. For too many years he believes that the Tornincasa family has been underappreciated in New York, and he sees it as his job as the new Don to earn the family some respect. » Lorenzo Alberti ;; 28 ;; Underboss of the Tornincasa Crime Family

» Louis Tornincasa ;; 27 ;; Financial Advisor

Born out of an affair between the departed Louis Tornincasa and a mistress, the family didn’t even know about Louis’s existence until the Don’s funeral. Then, at twenty years old, he was dragged by his mother to the gravesite where she ‘introduced’ him to the rest of the family, stating that he was Lucas’s son. To put it lightly, this news didn’t go over well at first. Labeled the ‘bastard child’, Louis had a hard time earning the respect and trust of the rest of the family members and the organization. After years of earning their respect, Louis finally has become the Tornincasa family’s financial advisor, putting all those accounting degrees to good use. But he’ll never have their full trust; he’s the bastard son of a whore.

Giordano Crime Family

» Cesare Giordano ;; 49 ;; Don of the Giordano Crime Family

Every mafia don will admit that their job is difficult, but they will also admit that Cesare Giordano has it a lot worse off than most of them do. Losing his wife ten years ago when the brake cables on her car were cut, he's never quite gotten over the incident, choosing instead to try and dull the pain by pouring all of himself into his work. A successful man who owns numerous casinos out in Las Vegas, he constantly is making flights out to his properties to check up on them. To him now, everything is business, the more personal side of Cesare being buried under a decades worth of loss and wanting. Occasionally, he makes it an effort to try and find out who murdered his wife, offering a handsome cash reward to whoever can prove to him without a doubt who the culprit is. »~~Amelia Giordano ;; 23 ;; Daughter of Don Cesare Giordano~~

Does the term mafia princess ring a bell? Well, Amelia fits that mold perfectly. Born with the proverbial silver spoon in her mouth, Amelia’s accustomed to getting what she wants, when she wants it, how she wants it. Infamous for her partying habits, it’s not uncommon to see this young woman at a different New York club every night of the week. She has her father wrapped around her little finger, and this is seen in how she’s treated. Whether it’s a new car, that expensive designer dress hanging in the window, a trip to Europe, all Amelia literally has to do is put on that little puppy dog pout to her father and it’s hers.

The Russian Mafia

Mashkov Crime Family

» Vladimir Mashkov ;; 35 ;; Head of the Russian Crime Syndicate

Taking over his father's syndicate after his death, Vladimir was placed in a sticky situation. The position should have in fact gone to his older brother, but their father believed that he didn't have the backbone to keep his organization afloat. Vlad is as quick with his words as he is with a gun, able to string together sentences that would have most people tripping over their feet. He has very quick and very violent mood swings; the man will be fine one moment and then yelling and handing out death threats the next. Not a stable man in the least, but the Russian crime syndicates chose to band under him in hopes of ridding New York of the Saints. » Gavril Mashkov ;; 36 ;; Legit Business Manager

The firstborn in the Mashkov family, Gavril should have been poised to take over his father's organization at a moment's notice, but he never seemed to have the interest. While to many, what his father might have accomplished boardered on greatness, to Gavril it was nothing but a symbol of his greed and corruption. He made it known ever since he was old enough to voice his opinions that he wanted nothing to do with his father's business, so he was placed as the head of the family's shipping company. The legitimate face of the organization, he's kind of viewed as a black sheep since in many people's eyes, he shirked his duties for stupid personal reasons. »Natalia Mashkov ;; 27 ;; Sister of Vladimir Mashkov ;; Gossip Columnist - Informant

There are some people who just seem to know everything, Natalia Mashkov is one of those people. The kid sister of Vladimir, her job as a gossip collumnist for a New York magazine makes her the perfect informant of the family. While she spends most of her days at the office, putting together dirt on her newest target, whether it be politician or celebrity, her evenings are put to work in the clubs of New York, pulling together information for her brother. And she's good at what she does to. With her charismatic ways and somewhat innocent charms, she manages to smooth information out of people that is...helpful to say the least. Some of the organization's best work has been done on one of her tips, making her of a high value to the syndicate.

Zolnerowich Crime Family

» Mikhial Zolnerowich ;; 42 ;; Russian Mafia Boss

»Irina Zolnerowich ;; 30 ;; Mikhial Zolerowich's husband

In most crime groups, it's the head of the syndicate who wears the pants, but not in Irina's husband's case. When it comes to Mikhial's business, he might be the public face of authority, but it's Irina whose doing all the behind the scene's work that makes all their ventures successful. Many of her husband's associates even acknowledge her part in the organization, coming to her to ask for advice instead of her husband on many occasions when it comes to matters of business. »~~Nikolai Bogomolov ;; 29 ;; Russian Underboss~~

A friend of Vladimir Mashkov ever since they were both kids, the two were practically joined at the hip since they were five years old. A quiet, cunning man, he's the sort of man that not many people would assume is capable of much, a lot goes on in his head that amaze most. A veritable genius, Nikolai is the idea man in the group, and is infamous for his ability to cover up whatever the organization is working on from the authorities.

Alkaev Crime Family

»~~Radoslava Alkaev ;; 30 ;; Widow // Russian Mafia Boss~~

When her husband was killed in a shootout with the New York Police Department, Radoslava Alkaev filled the gap that was left by his absense. While she is a rather small woman in stature, she makes up for what she lacks in height in presence. Wielding the power of her businesses with a sense of elegance and grace, Radoslava makes her job look as easy as batting an eyelash. But her male counterparts have learned not to be fooled by her charms. Behind her charming exterior lies a cunning mind that is always at work. While many in her line of work are more forward with their intentions, Radoslava's actions can only be described as underhanded. Acting at the most opportune moment, her decisions, while they are respected by the other crime organizations, are far from respected by the police.

Latin Mafia

Chaves Crime Family

» Emilio Chaves ;; 40 ;; Head of the Chaves Crime Family

Every bit like his late father, Emilio is to the Latin Crime Syndicate what the Morettis are to the Italians. Running the syndicate like a true business, he holds a sort of responsibility over his Family's actions that makes everything fall back on him. If something goes wrong, it's not the package boy's fault--it's his; this is because in his mind, all responsibility flows upward and he's at the top. He has a sort of casual, yet sophisticated air about him that commands respect, yet makes people comfortable when they approach him. From his enforcers and soldiers to his second in command, it's impossible not to respect and love Don Chaves. » Victor Chaves ;; 32 ;; Chaves Family Second in Command

While Victor does have a good head on his shoulders, he doesn't always use it. When he's at work and his mind focused, nothing could go wrong. An asset to the Family, Victor is infamous for his dammage control abilities. Words are this man's playthings, and this couldn't be more evident when he's smoothing out any wrinkles that the Family might have created with the press or law enforcement. But the man seems to lack this ability in his personal life. A drinker, gambler, and womanizer, a week doesn't go by when his name's not in the paper for something he's done or said. » ~~Aaron Barnes ;; 20 ;; Hit Man~~

Aaron came to be a part of the Chaves Crime Familiy when he was but ten years old. Living in a low-income apartment with a mother who half of the time was too drunk or high to notice his existence, Aaron took to stealing as a young boy to get what he needed/wanted. It was simple, he would take the wallets of men who he believed to be tourists then would say that he saw somebody take something out of his pocket and point in the direction that they 'went'. It just turned out one of those days it was Emilio who Aaron attempted to pick-pocket. Seeing a bit of spunk in the boy, Emilio brought him home where his father set him up with all sorts of odd jobs through his youth. That is, until it became evident that Aaron had a way with guns. Now, at twenty years old, Aaron is the Chaves family's most reliable hit man. And beyond that, he's practically family.

Manez Crime Family

» Hugo Manez ;; 37 ;; Head of the Manez Crime Familiy

The youngest of the Manez brothers, Hugo was never supposed to be a part of the Latin Crime Syndicate. No. With his brother groomed and trained to take over when their father died, he went to school to be a teacher. But his dream never became a reality. A year into teaching third grade, his brother was found shot in the back room of a club where he regularly held meetings. While he didn't want to take over, he did with the hopes of turning the Family legitimate. Raising his nieces and nephew, he owns a series of nightclubs throughout the city where -like his brother- he still transacts most of his business, although one day he hopes he will be able to go back to teaching. That is, if his name isn't permanently tainted. » ~~Carmen Manez ;; 23 ;; Niece of Hugo Manez~~

If there is one thing that has to be said about Carmen, it's that she knows what she wants, and exactly how to get it. A master at manipulation, Carmen knows how to combine the right words,the right expressions, and the right gestures to get her message across and to get her hands on what she has on her mind. To her, the whole crime syndicate thing (using her words) serves only one purpose: to get power and all that comes with it (and by all that comes with it she means stuff). She's not really close to the rest of the family, prefering to keep to a group of friends who she sees has having similar tastes and ambitions as herself. » Rocío Manez ;; 19 ;; Niece of Hugo Manez

When Julian Manez was killed, he left behind three children who his younger brother took in when he took up the postition as the head of the Manez Crime Family. Out of the three, Rocío is by far the quiet one. Spending most of her time up in her room or around a close few friends, she's a very quiet individual who likes to keep herself out of the limelight. But she's also the logical one out of the three. Whenever her brother or sister go and get into trouble, she's right there to tell them off before her uncle even gets a chance. In her sibling's eyes (especially her twin), she's the world's biggest spoil-sport, but the opinions of others has never really counted for much with Rocío. » Emmanuel Manez ;; 19 ;; Nephew of Hugo Manez

The twin brother of Rocío, when Julian Manez was shot, his uncle Hugo took him and his sisters in as he took up the head position in the family. And to put it lightly, while his sister in the eyes of most is the 'good twin', Emmanuel can only be described as the 'evil twin'. Even though he's an adult and therefore in the eyes of everyone else in the Family, be beyond such actions, Emmanuel is to this day an avid practical joker. You always know when Manuel's around for one reason: wherever he is, trouble is sure to follow. It's his life's dream to someday be a stand-up commedian, and whle people hate to admit it, he's actually pretty good.

rachel - August 12, 2007 03:30 PM (GMT)

The Press

» Olivia Mitchell ;; 25 ;; New York Times – Investigative Reporter

For somebody so young, Olivia seems to know more about the city of Boston than people who are eighty and have lived there their entire lives (working for a giant newspaper does have that advantage). Pushy and never taking no for an answer, Olivia is far from the favorite person of both the various crime syndicates in the city plus the local law enforcement due to her inquisitive and pushy nature.
» Julia Fiero ;; 28 ;; Channel 8 News – Anchor

The face of Channel 8 news, Julia is a very charismatic individual. The kind of person who can leave you hanging on her every word, she’s probably the one reason that many people can remember what’s on the evening news. An insight into many events that is slightly different from the mainstream, some would consider her to be a bit…spacey at times, but it’s all part of her charm.
» Lawrence Snyder ;; 32 ;; New York Times – Editor

You know the that stereotypical suburban American guy? Well, Lawrence fits that mold exactly. A boy from the heartland, the combination of his boyish good looks and Midwestern charm make him one in a million, especially in the city of New York. Many would say that his life is predictable. His neighbors say that they can tell what time it is based on when he goes out for his morning jog. Many of these attributes are brought with him to the Times. The life of the paper, his colleagues call him, even under the most stressful deadlines, he always manages to keep his cool while bustling everyone else along with a quick work of encouragement or humorous remark.

Murphy McManus - September 27, 2007 12:27 AM (GMT)

Civilians

» ~~Gregory Williams ;; 41 ;; Personol Doctor to the Italian Mafia~~
Play-By: Harrison Ford

Greg never had a tight knit family. His own mom and dad were never around, so it was no wonder that at a young age he clung to his friend's families. Alberto, Greg's best friend from a young age, happened to be a member of one of the most prominent families in the Italian mafia. As Greg grew older, this fact
» Echo Lawrence ;; 25 ;; Broadway Actress

How the hell does a girl who grew up in the middle of nowhere get to be a big name on Broadway? It's pretty simple really. You leave your small town of four hundred people after high school, take a few college courses on the side, associate with the right people, get a few minor roles, and then move your way up from there. Oh. And when you're just starting out, sleeping with the people in power doesn't help either. Echo Lawrence is the kind of girl whose always had a taste for the finer things in life: jewelry, cars, parties, dresses, and men. Of course, her tastes in the latter have become rather refined over the years. She's infamous for chosing a rather influential politician of member of a crime syndicate, taking him for all he's worth, then throwing him to the curb. Okay, so it doesn't make her popular around her ex's, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, right? Especially when you're currently dating a high-ranking Russian official.
» Sean Gardener ;; 32 ;; Defense Attorney

Every prosecutor's worst nightmare, Sean Gardener is one of the best defense attorneys on the East Coast. The man has the ability to make a boy scout look like a murderer and Ted Bundy look like an angel, bringing to light his gift of manipulation that he's been developing since childhood. A pathological liar, he wouldn't know the truth if it bit him in the ass and spews out the most convincing lies that he might as well have himself convinced. At an age when most people should have settled down, after a hard day's work at his firm, Sean still enjoys going out and doing what people in their teens and twenties do: mix an intoxicating cocktail of alcohol and drugs at the city's major clubs. And while he's shown up to work and to court hung-over on several occasions, nobody has been able to do anything about it since he actually performs better when drunk/stoned/hung-over than he does in his normal state.
» Irene Taylor ;; 38 ;; Bank Manager

There are some people in life who you wouldn't expect anything out of the ordinary from: Irene Taylor is one of them. Married and divorced two times, she lives in a typical home in Queens and commutes to work every day. Her work clothes are pressed and like everybody else's and outside the office few would be able to even pick her out of a crowd. One of the best bank managers New York's biggest financial instution has ever had, she's responsible for making sure that all the bank's finances are in order and everything is legit. Seems simple enough, right? Well, not when several Italian crime families have accounts at your bank. To cover her own ass, Ms. Taylor sees it as her own personal responsibility to go through and legitimize every transaction done by these families. Not for their benefit by any means, but so when the Federal Reserve comes to do an audit, her ass isn't grass.
» Henry Acton ;; 31 ;; Art Dealer

Many have wondered how Helen Moretti came across her exquisit collection of paintings. Well, the answer is through one man. Henry Acton is a big name in the art world. One of the best art historians out there, he's famous for travelling through galleries, auctions, and sometimes even museums authenticating pieces and then making an offer on them. His prices too good to refuse, he has his own little collection by some of the finest artists known to mankind. Of this collection, he sells a few choice pieces to the public, with most of these pieces going to none other than the wife of one of the nation's greatest mafia dons. What does he receive in return? Simple, wonderful reviews of any exhibits he might put together for a museum and any pieces he might create himself.
» Richard Elliot [Jr] ;; 29 ;; Dick's Bartender

Ever wonder why Dick's is called Dick's? It's really simple, actually. Dick is short for Richard, and Richard Elliot Sr. just happens to be the owner of the bar. Oh, and his son is the bartender. If there's a man in New York who knows everybody's secrets, it's the younger Richard Elliot. Pouring drinks for people, he listens to their stories night after night. Everybody's stories from 21 year olds out to get plastered for the first time to weathered old New Yorkers who are cynical with age. The man probably knows more about the city's inhabitants than the police even, although he wouldn't speak a word. Silence is golden, and that's a fact that's been engraved on the back of Richard's skull over the years.
