Dons (bosses)[]

The Don or boss is the head of a family. The boss receives a cut of every operation taken on by every member of his family. Depending on the family, the boss may be chosen by a vote from the capo of the family. In the event of a tie, the Underboss must vote. In the past, all the members of a family voted on the boss, but by the late 2000's, any gathering such as that usually attracted too much attention. Sometimes the Don chooses his successor.

Typically, a Don will put lawyers of insulation between himself and any acts. Whenever he gives orders, he gives them in private to either his underboss, lawyer or one of his capos, who in turn pass them down the line.

Dons are not typically seen in psychical or mafia actions and prefer to give out their orders to Underboss and capos, although exceptions did and do exist.

Lawyers[]

A Lawyer is the adviser to the Don in the Mafia, and can sometimes be his accountant, childhood friend, actual lawyer, DA or a former hitman. Lawyers try to be legitimate so that they can "prove" the family legitimate as well, and are rarely involved in hits, robberies, or any physical activities that the Mafia carries out, although there are exceptions, of course. A Lawyer can become don, first in-line, while another person who can gain the position is Underboss or Capo.

Underbosses[]

The Underboss (also known as sotto capo or capo bastone) is the second most important position in a family (debated with lawyer), directly beneath the Don himself. The underboss is usually appointed by the boss himself. The underboss is in charge of all of the capos and is usually first in line to become acting boss if the boss is imprisoned, while also frequently seen as a logical successor.

Capos[]

A caporegime (capo) is in charge of a group of soldiers who report directly to him. A capo (also known as Capone) is appointed by the boss and reports to him or the underboss. A Capone runs his own territory and gives a percentage of his (and his underlings) earnings to the boss as it is his job, although he may sometimes screw the boss over. He is also responsible for any tasks assigned, including murder. In labour racketeering it is usually a capo who controls the infiltration of union locals.

Soldiers[]

Soldato (or soldier) is a made member of a family. Once a member is made he is untouchable, meaning permission from a soldier's boss must be given before he is murdered. When the books are open, meaning that a family is accepting new members, a made man may recommend an up-and-coming spy to be a new soldier. Soldiers are the main workers of the family, usually committing crimes like assault, murder, extortion and intimidation. In return, they are given profitable shops to run by their superiors and have full access to their family's connections and power.

Spies[]

A Spy is not an official member of a family and often works in the family shops, or spies on enemies from other families in the hopes of being "made" into a family soldato.

Spy can include a wide range of people who work for the family. Spy can have a wide range of duties from virtually carrying out the same duties as a soldier to being a simple errand boy. This is where prospective mobsters ("connected guys") start out to prove their worth. Once a family is accepting new membership, the best spies are evaluated and picked to become soldiers. A spy can also be a criminal who serves as a go-between or sometimes deals in drugs to keep police attention off the actual members, or they can be people the family does business with (restaurant owners, etc.) In other cases, a spy might be a corrupt labor union delegate or businessman. They also have great negotiation skills, and can also be associates.

Assassins[]

The Assassins are members who are tasked with assassinating and murdering enemies from rival families in their hit contracts from their crime family members. For their working, they are very valuable to the each member of the family. They work and earn the big cash for reward. The missions that they are given are either from Boss, Underboss, Lawyer, Capo and/or a trusted Soldier.
