Mafia Positions
So, as many of you might have recognized when looking at the canon list, I left several crutial positions in the various crime families open. Why? So our loffy members who might be interested in creating an original with mafia connections can fill in the various roles. A list of the mafia heirarchy can be found below with the various positions. Of course, the italian names would only apply to the Italian families; the english counterparts would be used for the rest.
Mafia Heirarchies
Capo di Tutti Capi the "Boss of All Bosses"
Capo di Capi Re a title of respect given to a senior or retired member, equivalent to being a member emeritus, literally, "King Boss of Bosses"
Capo Crimine "Crime Boss", known as a Don - the head of a crime family
Capo Bastone "Beat Head", known as the "Underboss" is second in command to the Capo Crimine
Consigliere An advisor (at sinners and saints, we will have financial and legal advisors)
Caporegime "Regime head", a captain who commands a "crew" of around ten Sgarriste or "soldiers"
Sgarrista or Soldati "Soldier", made members of the Mafia who serve primarily as foot soldiers
Picciotto "Little man", a low ranking member who serves as an "enforcer"
Giovane D'Onore an associate member, usually someone not of Italian ancestry
