WWII, the Italian Mafia, and You (Piofiore)
The mafia in Burlone went a lot more lowkey during WWII. Each family tried their best to avoid Mussolini and the Italian government
Burlone was forcefully overtaken by Mussolini
If Dante is still alive, you're sought out by the church along with Dante to retrieve the relic.
If Dante isn't alive, then the relic is deemed lost by the church. They would have to wait for after the war before they can even attempt to retrieve the relic.
If you ended up with Yang, then your role as Key Maiden is over, and the church never tries to find you. Emilio prays for your happiness and safety.
Burlone is filled with Italian soldiers, and being caught with the mafia meant death.
If you're with Dante or Nicola, they determine that it would be better if the family went into hiding. They do their best to make sure the rest of the family is alright living on their own, and 'disbands' the Falzone mafia.
You, Dante and Nicola all end up living alone in the Falzone manor, with the most minimal of servants and mafia members with no where else to go.
Some men avoided conscription here; changing their identities or living in hiding. Others left to go fight. Dante and Nicola avoided conscription by faking their deaths. Only the church knows that they're alive.
If you're with Yang, you've long since left Burlone, and stay with him in London. However, he was called to serve the chinese military. Needless to say, he didn't go, and for whatever reason he wasn't pursued.
As soon as he deems it unnecessary to stay in London, he moves the both of you to somewhere remote and far away from London, where you stay until the end of the war. He doesn't care to put you in unnecessary danger, and would rather stay out of the way until the end of the war.
Somehow, he still receives a constant supply of goods from China and the local town. He still has connections to the mafia here.
When Henri learns of Germany's invasion of Poland and eventually France, he writes a desperate letter to Dante, asking for assistance in getting you out of France.
With what little power Dante has left at his disposal, he manages to get the both of you to Canada, where your knowledge of French helps get you by. However, Henri returns to France to fight in the war.
Henri is shot, and is sent to a hospital in Britain to recover. However, he is sought out by the military to become an undercover agent in Paris, due to his knowledge of English, French, and German.
The occupation of France angers him, so he says he'll do anything to ruin whatever plans they have and stop them. He's a great saboteur and gets a ton of intel on German military plans.
Gilbert also disbands the Redford family, as he doesn't want to risk harm to any of his comrades. He uses as much as he can of the families' funds to either get them out of the country, or somewhere safe.
He doesn't support what the Italian government is doing, nor does he feel its safe here anymore. He moves the both of you to America.
You and Orlok are relatively safe at the church, and don't see much of the war.
However, you do volunteer to be a nurse at the local military hospital. You constantly see the horrors of the war on a day by day basis. Orlok, upon seeing how distressed you are by the constant stream of gruesome injuries, also ends up working at the hospital with you. He tries his best to cheer you up.
