The Arcangelo Family

The Arcangelo Family is a pure Mafia family based in Graham City and Jericho City.
It was founded in the first half of the twentieth century by William Arcangelo. The Arcangelo Family was the wealthiest family in the organization before they were slaughtered 3 years prior to the story began.
The Arcangelo family consist of one son whose body was never recovered, he is presumed alive, hidden by one of the made Families. The rest of the family is currently deceased with no other confirmed survivors at the hands of the Dogs Special Crime Unit.
In 1941, the organization had over a thousand members and connections with both the police, the press, and select government officials, making it one of the most influential mob organization within the Syndicate.
The Arcangelo family had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Genovese Family for a period of time; the Genovese’s oversaw the manufacture of drugs (including Lunar Flower and Celestial) which the Arcangelo’s would distribute for them, an arrangement which proved profitable for both sides. However, the death of the first-generation head of the Genovese Family marked the beginning of the end of their alliance. His replacement, Marco Genovese (his son) and August Genovese (his grandson), had different ideas about money, and Arcangelo-Genovese relations deteriorated while both sides tried and failed to come to a new agreement.
Tensions reached their peak in October 1930. The Arcangelo Jackal, Nicholas Bravura, orchestrated and covered up the deaths of both Marco and August, the bodies of whom were found in a car at the bottom of the Graham city bay. With the two heads, out of the picture, the Arcangelo family quickly took over the Genovese family’s factories and cover businesses (textiles), silencing witnesses through threats or murder.
After years of complete control as the top family, during the four-year war, the head family was completely wiped out by the local police force and the Special Crime Unit, Dogs. After receiving tips and plans of the inner structures the Mayor at that time demanded the complete desolation of the Family. Not much is known to the public of how the information was leaked but many believe that the current Don of the Genovese, Don Valencia Genovese (Granddaughter to August Genovese), staged a coup d’état to seize control of the Syndicate. Ultimately shifting the monarchy of powers within the Families.
