―  Javi was born in the summer in Bronx, New York. His father was one of two Capos for The Control and his mother a doctor for the same gang. 

―  He’s the middle son of 3 kids but the oldest one living. His older brother died at 23, he was a soldier within the Control.

―  At 18, Javi’s girlfriend ended up pregnant and had a son while Javi enlisted in the United States Army. He would spend another 6 years with the military before his father would be killed and he would return home to take his place as Capo, leading the Control Soldiers using his knowledge and skills gained while serving. 

―  His girlfriend became pregnant again around this time and gave birth to their daughter, Isabela, and the two married.

―  Five years after the birth of his daughter, grief struck and they found out that Isabela had an incurable cancer and within a matter of months she was taken from them leaving Javi distraught and colder than ever.

―  The death of his daughter was extremely hard on him and with her death a ruthless, reckless, and impulsive monster was born. This only saw Javi rising in rank to a region manager.

―  It would be no more than a year before his wife would die, taking a bullet that was meant for him. Unable to feel much of anything, Javi’s son went to live with his Javi’s mother, Maricela, his only desire to protect his son’s innocence that remained.

―  Another few years and Javi had risen to Underboss under Adriana Ribeiro. When Adriana passed away and her daughter, Sloane, took over, Javi was understandably, visibly, and vocally upset by it. The girl knew nothing about any of it and he had little faith that she would be able to lead the gang. Of course, he stood corrected and quickly found himself giving the girl a chance and now stands by her and is rather protective of her.

🇭​🇪​🇦​🇩​🇨​🇦​🇳​🇴​🇳​  

―  There’s only been one girl since the death of his wife that has managed to break through his cold and callous exterior aside from Sloane and that was Reina Castro, Underboss of rival gang Coalition. They broke up about a year and a half ago and he’s been trying to get her back, to show her that she can trust him.

―  Javi loves his son even if it didn’t seem like he cared. In truth, he cared too much about the boy which is why he chose to have his mother raise him, his way of protecting his son and ensuring he didn’t follow in his footsteps.

―  He’s got a 7 year old Pitbull named Papi Chulo

Some say the THIRTY FIVE year old made their name by being an UNDERBOSS for THE COMMAND Feared by their SELFISH + POSSESSIVE tendencies, however, their HONEST + CHARMING side helps maintain the facade. Can be easily found in BROOKLYN working as a LAWYER . 

Sebastian grew up with his grandparents, them receiving full custody at his birth. His mother unfortunately didn’t make it through childbirth, and his father was a dead beat. But he wouldn’t change anything about it. They brought him up in the best schools, teaching him how to be a good person. And as a child, he was. He had so many friends, loved school, played sports, and even did a bit of theatre. However, when he got to high school, he found himself hanging out with the wrong crowd, getting into a lot more trouble than he should’ve. His grandparents saw none of it, because somehow, Sebastian managed to find the right friends too. Their parents kept him out of trouble, not wanting to trouble his grandparents. This attitude made him cocky, arrogant, and a little bit selfish. He knew he could get away with more than he should, and he used that to his advantage.

He knew how to manipulate people, turn them onto his side, and keep them in his life for when he needed them. There were so many people that found themselves in his lives that he entertained all of it. Knowing people wanted to be around him, because he was charming, and would tell you how it was, he picked his favorites, very quickly becoming very possessive of certain ones. If you touched them, your life would be ruined and he wasn’t afraid to do so.

While applying to school, Sebastian knew there was only one career track that was worthy of him. That was law. He dived deep into pre-law, being at the top of his class, finding he was a lot better at it than most people. Or at least, his personality fit it. He attended law school at Columbia, graduating with honors. Now, being a lawyer, it’s given him a lot of power. But it wasn’t enough. He wanted more. Searching and searching, he tried to find ways to control more of the city. Bumping into a member of a gang, not knowing it at the time, Sebastian got him drunk enough, getting him to tell him everything. He’d been suspicious of his activities and found himself in the middle of the underground gang scene. Sebastian’s personality allowed him to gain the trust of others, and proving his worth, with not only his skills, but his power in the law world, he worked his way up to underboss, fulfilling all joys in his life. This allows him to control two different worlds, and a lot of the time, he uses his position as a lawyer to keep the rest of the gang out of trouble and he’s good at it.

TW: Death, Addiction, Allusions to Stalking.

One vicious Sunday night in August of 2011, a quiet neighborhood in northern Maine was rattled by a bloodcurdling scream of an 11-year-old girl that witnessed the murder of her parents. She saw the faces of three men that would continue to track her down for years to come. She got away that night, ran to a neighbor’s house and banged on the door until somebody opened the door to let her in. She stayed there for hours, waited for police to show up, then spent nearly a week at the station with officers and detectives. She gave them immaculate details, meticulous observations that would later lead to the conviction and sentencing of all three men. She nailed their vehicle, their body types, their clothes, everything she could remember – and it was enough.

It took years to find these men, putting this girl into WITSEC for the entire time because her life was in danger. The men were part of a long line of criminals that had a hub in New York City, and she had a target on her back because she had information that would otherwise be protected if under their control. She was in WITSEC all throughout high school, known as Connie Eberly to teachers, students, faculty, and the family she was staying with at the time. She posed as their daughter, pretended to be part of the family in order to fit in all throughout high school. Her intelligence made her soar through school, but she had no desire to  go to college.

She stayed with the family another two years after high school, adjusted to her new life as “Connie” and thought she might be able to actually move on from the life she left behind. Just as her mindset began to change, the three men responsible for the murder or her parents were caught and eventually sentenced to prison for the remainder of their lives. She no longer needed WITSEC and the woman responsible for her primary safety told her she could go be whoever she wanted to be now, whether that was Connie Eberly or her old self. But she had other plans. Instead, she chose to be Jillian Van Pelt.

She moved to NYC, hustled several side jobs at once because she needed the money to pay for an apartment – had three roommates that she absolutely despised the entire time before she finally got her own place at 23. That was when she got a job at Royale Lounge as a bartender and entertainer/dancer. She spends her nights at the lounge, entertains other people and indulges in addictive tendencies every so often in order to forget what her own life felt like at times.

For years, up until currently, she’s been unaware of the eyes on her. Those three men that wound up in prison had connections that have been ready to pounce for ages, keeping tabs on Jill’s whereabouts and watching her every move. She’s been unaware of it, continues her life like she’s been relieved of all her past trauma. She lives now with a weight lifted off her shoulders, but they’ve been dropping hints that she’s in trouble and should watch her back.

BACKSTORY. (to be added to)

I. Maybe the Big Apple is rotten to its core because of the gangs that burrow through it like worms -- but the city is certainly made no better because of the politicians that let it stay that way. August Alderidge has always benefited from the corruption of the city, and, if anything, he’s a man that revels in it. There are seven sins — here is a man that cherishes each and every one.

II. Born August Smith to a lower-middle class family in Queens. His mom is an art teacher, his dad a mechanic. With three kids, August being the oldest of them, there are too many mouths to feed in their single family home. He’s born with no silver spoons but a silver tongue does him just fine. 

III. It’s in his university’s political science program that August meets his future wife, Amelia. He’s there on a scholarship - her family’s name is on the library. The Alderidge’s are the Kennedys reborn, of a different kind of money that August has only dreamed of. The courtship is quick, tactical. When he gets married he takes his wife’s name (”A real feminist” they say) and wears Alderidge like a coat, like it’s always belonged to him.

IV. It would take the might of mountains to make August an honest man, a little band of gold on his ring finger certainly isn’t going to do it. Over the course of their courtship and even their marriage, August keeps Amelia obvious to his numerous affairs, including the one he has with her brother. Publicly though, they are the picture perfect couple. The Alderidge’s are a political family and by marrying into them, August steps into the fold. With his father-in-law a Senator himself, August’s own trajectory to Senator is clear. 

ONE YEAR AGO. And then, one fall evening - one august - Amelia passes in her sleep. ‘Freak accident’ the doctors say and they point to distant family medical history as a possible explanation. Amelia, oldest of the Alderidges, is remembered by her husband and her son. She leaves her money and assets to August. August mourns the appropriate amount of time. His eyes stay dry. 

NOW. August is a two time Senator for New York. He intends on continuing to climb the ladder to political success and doesn’t care who he steps on on the way to get there. He’s neutral when it comes to the gangs and, for a price, is willing to help any of them by keeping New York a place where they can continue their business. 

THE SECRET. There is absolutely no doubt August is behind his wife’s murder. He’s meticulously covered his tracks - no one knows.

HIS WIFE’S BROTHER. (WC, will be sending to main) Amelia’s brother - whom August had an affair with while married to Amelia. Consensual on both sides, but there was a considerable amount of guilt from his wife’s brother. Eventually Amelia’s brother cut it off, leading to an immense amount of bitterness from August.

SIBLINGS. Though he’s left his origins behind, August cares for his siblings. However, that love is maybe not expressed in the best ways.

LUST. August doesn’t date. Publicly, he’s still playing the part of a man who is mourning his wife. Privately, August has one night stands. In his lifetime he’s h ad a string of affairs that he tends to leave high and dry and/or heartbroken. 

BLACKMAIL. August is not above blackmailing people and will happily incur debts from people. 

PRIDE. Fellow political animals. 

WRATH. Gang members he can do business with.

BACKSTORY. (to be added to)

CHILDHOOD. Manhattan born and raised, the second of two. Anastasia is born into the family behind Lin Financing, an old money financing firm based on Wall Street that has long been a front for money laundering. From day one Anastasia grows up with an up close and personal look at white collar crime. But despite the dubious nature of her family’s work, she never wants for anything, including the love of her family. 

COMING OF AGE. Anastasia’s father is involved with the Coalition as their Consigliere, but while her older brother is expected to fall into his father’s footsteps, Anastasia is allowed a greater sense of freedom. She stays away from any obligations to the Coalition and instead pursues degrees in finance, working her way up to a PHD in Economics. Anastasia grows up on Wall Street and on Wall Street she blooms.

ADULTHOOD. Anastasia settles into a senior financial advisor roll at Lin Financing, learning the dirty underbelly of the business but finding greater joy in the numbers. Manhattan continues to slot her into the lifestyle of an heiress and she continues to sidestep it, preferring to run with the bears and bulls. 

THREE YEARS AGO. Anastasia’s father passes, leaving Anastasia and her brother as the key owners of Lin Financing. When her father passes, it is expected that Ana’s brother would step into the same roll in the Coalition. However, with the death of the head of the company, stakeholders in Lin Financing find themselves needing greater reassurance for this transition of power and are hesitant for woman to steer the ship in the cut-throat world of financing. So, as it goes, Anastasia’s brother stays with Lin Financing and, in her sibling’s stead, Anastasia joins the Coalition as the Consigliere.  

NOW. With her experience and her education, Anastasia is able to provide insightful advice on the world of white collar crime. The position is supposedly supposed to be temporary, till her brother can stabilize the transition of power at Lin Financing, but until then, it’s all hers. She has been here for three years and finds the temporary position feeling more and more permanent. She continues to advise on the board at Lin Financing.

THE SECRET. (tw: miscarriage mention) About a year and a half ago, Anastasia fell into bed with the Coalition boss and a complicated relationship has spiraled out of it since. The relationship has included a miscarriage after a close scrape with death (about six months ago), a rejected marriage proposal (slightly before that), and the understanding that a relationship would put both parties and the Coalition at risk (ongoing and... forever?). The love Anastasia feels for Declan does not eclipse the loyalty she feels to the Coalition as a whole -- and so Anastasia continues to put her role as a consigliere before her own wants and needs. No one, not even members of the Coalition, knows about any of this... dalliance. Anastasia is a consummate fucking professional and keeps her shit behind closed doors.

WRATH. (tw: miscarriage mention) Those she’s wronged in the past seeking revenge. The close scrape of death that happened six months ago that led to her miscarriage. 

ENVY. Wall Street rivals, green is the color of money and envy. 

GLUTTONY. Anastasia grew up in a specific socioeconomic class and birds of a feather are known to flock together.

Name: Allegra Sofia Nardi Nicknames: Allie Gender/Pronouns: Cis-Female, Her/Hers Age: 26 Birthday: June 11th, 1996 Zodiac: Gemini Sun, Virgo Rising, Pisces Moon Hometown: Rome, Italy Neighborhood: Tribeca, Manhattan Occupation: Curatorial assistant at the MOMA NYC status: The Command associate Sexuality: Heterosexual Positive traits: innovative, fearless, reliable Negative traits: reckless, impulsive, jealous

tw: divorce, alcohol, drugs.

Born to an American mother and an Italian father in the beginning of what would be an incredibly hot Italian summer, Allegra spent first five years of her life in Rome living in a small, yet happy family of four. If you asked her what she remembered from those first five years of her life, she’d probably say the Tiber river and all the green surrounding it. However, after nine years of marriage, the happy family life was abruptly broken when her parents decided to get a divorce, causing Allegra to move to the States with her mother and older brother. And New York was nothing like Rome, not even close.. but it became a home.

Her childhood was a rather normal one, as much as it can be when one parent lives on one continent, while the second lives on another, but between those long airplane rides between Rome & New York, Allegra had managed to find herself a great set of friends and hobbies that made her life sweeter. Yet it was one hobby that stood out and soon become a big love of hers - ballet. Allegra was dancing ballet till she was seventeen years old, even dreaming of turning pro one day.. the girl was spending all of her time in the ballet class - dancing till her toes would be literally bleeding, but she didn’t care about the pain or the tears - it was all she wanted to do.. and she was talented, she really was. But all good things must come to an end, don’t they? A sudden knee injury prevented her from becoming a professional ballet dancer.. one could say she had never really recovered from that dream of hers shattering into a million pieces.

Considering there was no future for her in the world of ballet, Allegra enrolled into the Columbia University majoring in History of Art & Architecture.. buildings were not so fragile as dancing was.. or so she told to herself. But she was in love with art, always had been - and as she was often traveling with her family, she had realized her interest always laid in museums and the architecture of the cities she would visit. Those were nothing but breathing art.. there was magic in it - dreams that would come alive.. and in a way, she felt connected to the ballet again.

But there was wildness that was running through that girl’s blood.. she was still attracting people to herself - her presence magnetic as ever, one could find Allegra at every damn party, from the ones she would come to with her friends, all the way to those she’d come to alone, which she didn’t mind at all. All she wanted was to have fun.. and she could have that on her own. If she wanted people by her side, she could simply meet them in the club or a bar.. or at the party she crashed. There was something about having fun.. that kept the demons she was fighting at bay.

And drinking wasn’t an enemy of hers, but a friend, just as doing drugs wasn’t unknown to her.. not at all. But she had it under control, didn’t she? It was during the weekends only, and to be fair, it wasn’t even every weekend - not anymore. And perhaps she couldn’t even remember when was the last time she even took something. But how many times had she woken up not remembering anything at all? Was it only on the weekends even? How could one be certain where there was some party every night? In one moment she was in the kitchen of some apartment, and in the other she’d walking on the edge of thirty floor building.. but it was fun, wasn’t it? And as you already know, all she wanted was to have fun.. no matter of the price.

However, her life was good. Or at least it seemed so to her.. thanks to her academic success, the girl first got an internship at the MET, yet it was the MOMA who hired Allegra permanently immediately after graduating.. the youngest curatorial assistant. What a great job, what a perfect career move.. how lucky was she, wasn’t she? Yet, it was her parents truly she owed her career to.. her mother was a successful Manhattan’s OB/GYN, while her father.. well, it was a bit more complicated. Let’s just say Massimo Nardi had money, lots of it.. some would call him an entrepreneur, a successful CEO, while some would call him.. the boss. And it could mean a lot of things, but in her family it meant one thing only.. Cosa Nostra. Yes, you have read that right.. Allegra Sofia Nardi was the daughter of a mafia boss - of the man who had half of Southern Europe under his control.. drugs, guns, cars.. you name it, her father controlled it. And in New York, well.. he was the boss of the Command.

Many think her parents divorced due to the two of them falling out of love, yet the truth was entirely different.. it was her father who sent his wife back to her country with their two children - not because he was out of love, but because he wanted to protect them.. being such a powerful man he knew it was just a matter of time before his enemies, and he had many of them, would come after him.. after his beloved family. There was no way he’d let them steal what he loved the most, no matter what, and he sent them as far as he could.. to save them from the life he was born into & the life his children carried within their genetic code.

It was a brave attempt, a well thought move.. to save the Nardi children from the danger. But could one predict everything? Could the Nardi boss predict his children’s every move? Could he predict his daughter’s recklessness, love for danger.. to protect his children, the boss sent them to the States, yet perhaps it would have been better if the drug lord’d had his eyes on them all the time, keeping them close to himself.. perhaps then his only daughter - the beautiful, intelligent & successful Allegra Sofia Nardi.. the girl who had it all.. wouldn’t be so close to becoming one of the victims of her father’s dark empire.

Status: Divorced.

Tw: child abuse, death, betrayal, pregnancy, drugs, age gap

Nikita was born in Moscow, RU. Unfortunately, the day she breathed for the first time was the day her mother passed away. Since that day, life had been tough for her. Ivan Aleksei Belov had very difficulty raising his daughter, mostly because she was a reminder of the last day he saw his wife which he loved dearly, it was safe to say he died a little on that day too.

This is when everything starts, he wasn't really a good father to Nikita, always getting himself in trouble and abusing her. The more she grows the more she looked like his deceased wife, and the more he avoided looking at her. She starts to do odd jobs since he always comes home drunk or high, using his money for gambling or else. She passed through some difficulties at home, sometimes she had nothing to eat for days, and also trying to care for her father.

One day appeared to Ivan an opportunity for a better life in America, but of course, he moved with Nikita to there. Little by little, he started to grow there, and the income comes from his illegal business and gambling. In spite of whatever it was Ivan was doing, Nikita continued studying and graduating promising herself she would whatever it is to work on her own business, without being affiliated with her own father.

But the best part was when she met Massimo. She never fell so hard on someone like him, he was somebody that captivated her heart, although she is a bit young than him, she was mature enough from everything she had been through in life. Eventually, they quickly got married. All the good things have come to an end... Nikita found out her husband betrayed her after 4.5 years of marriage. On this day, she also received the news that her father died, and she has forced to pay her father's debts by joining The Control, she never really wanted to join in any kind of this thing it was this or her life was in danger.

Soon she assumed the role of Ivan's work by being the new owner of the hotel and living there and now divorced. Ivan's body never was found, but one year later he appeared and confessed his death was fake because he wanted her to be part of the gang (and he knew she would never join them, considering how hard she was trying to have a normal life).  And to complete her life, there is one time she met with her ex husband Massimo by chance after the divorce, in which resulted in a pregnancy. Now she is living her of a single parent and managing the hotel.

BACKGROUND

A New York boy through and through. Choi Min-hyuk, more affectionately known as his Americanized name Nicholas Choi, was born in the heart of Queens, New York to a single mother. He'd known nothing about his father throughout his life, except that he was in prison for a number of crimes. Mina Choi worked as a software engineer for a number of failing start-ups, and had it not been for her involvement with the Caveat behind her only son's back, the family would have likely struggled to survive. Nicholas would only learn of his mother's position as a hacker after her death.

Had his life been a bit more normal, Nicholas would have led a successful, easy life. Academically gifted, quick on his feet, and a charming personality. Up until he was 16, he largely viewed himself as a typical American boy, plans to attend university and get a stable job. But his seemingly 'normal' life came to halt when he lost the only family he had, his mother the victim of a hit and run. The boy too smart for his own good was left an orphan, wondering how his mother became a target of crime. In his younger years, he'd grow obsessive after finding his mother's personal computer and her association with the Caveat as one of their hackers.

There was nothing left for him to lose, hopes and dreams of his future life shattered. The Caveat became the only thing he knew, the only connection he had left to his mother. So as a teenager, innocent yet scarred by loss, he approached the organization and begged for a job. Had it not been for his mothers devotion over the years, he likely wouldn't have been taken in. But with nothing left, he'd started off as a recruit, eventually growing to see the Caveat as a part of himself too. His brain served him well, and given how long he'd been apart of the organization, it made sense for him to rise through the ranks. Someone who was intelligent, ambitious, and charming fit into his role perfectly, plenty of time for him to learn all of the ins and outs of his new world. At some point, he’d done it all, mastered every role of the Caveat had to offer, as if he was checking off bullet points of a to-do list throughout his twenties and early thirties. Clever hacker. Heartless assassin. Devote solider. 

In between of it all, from Nicholas becoming an orphaned child to the underboss of the Caveat were filled with their share of memories. A failed marriage, an attitude born of carelessness and instability, the desire for revenge he held inside of him over his mother’s death. People would tell you that Nicholas was always a fun person to be around. It was as if he had a switch in him, the ability to turn on his charm and playfulness when the situation fit, and yet be able to strike an eerie fear in those around him in his line of work. HIs humorous personality didn’t make him unfit for his job. If anything, he’d be seen as a trusting face to unsuspecting, despite how volatile he could be in a moment’s notice.
