Salvatore Family
"La Santissima Trinità: denaro, connessioni e fede."
Overview:
Region: Terredi Fuoco
Colors: Gold and Black
Culture: Azzizzari (Cantaluna)
Alignment: Open to all
Wealth: Procurment Services, Finance Managment, Logistics, Pharmaceuticals
Design & Theme:
The Salvatore Family refers to themselves as an "Azienda," a remnant of the era before the Azzizzari were absorbed into the Cantaluna. They take great pride in their heritage and legacy, despite the fact that most current members are no longer related by blood. Over time, as the focus shifted towards business under new leadership, the backgrounds of their members have become increasingly diverse. Yet, they continue to hold their cultural values—particularly respect and honor—in high regard.
Although they lack a strong religious affiliation, the Salvatores often portray themselves as divine-like saviors within the territories they claim. Their image as protectors, rather than mere leaders, plays into the larger-than-life persona they maintain.
Members are expected to present themselves in a dignified manner. All Family Members receive a ring engraved with the family insignia, which they are expected to wear publicly. The insignia features a golden sun, symbolizing the family's Azzizzari legacy, with a dove carrying an olive branch at its center—an emblem of the peaceful life they aspire to lead.
History:
Originating from the deep lands of Vultaro and Montania, the Salvatore Crime Family proudly traces its roots to the Azzizzari and Cantaluna cultures, referring to themselves as an "Azienda." Their founder, Adone Salvatore—revered within the family as the "grand padrino"—began his journey in the local coal mines. However, when the region's economy collapsed due to the mismanagement of the di Alan family, Adone lost his job. Disillusioned by the system, rather than resist it, he chose to play by his own rules—harsh and unfair.
With the little money he had left, Adone founded a legitimate logistics company. In the failing market, investments were nearly impossible to secure, but a series of robberies quickly filled the financial gap. This set the tone for the future: the legitimate side of the business thrived, aided by the criminal endeavors of the family, creating a symbiotic relationship where profits were laundered and cover stories kept them insulated.
After years of steady growth, the Salvatore Family established connections with a syndicate in Vixhall, entering into a large-scale smuggling operation. However, only a few months in, they calculated that simply seizing control of the syndicate by force would be far more profitable than splitting the earnings. This marked their first major expansion into their most lucrative venture yet: procurement services for the nobility. Illegal substances, rare artifacts, or even the silence of witnesses—whatever the aristocracy needed, the Salvatores could provide in exchange for money and political favors.
During this period, the family embraced a public image as high-life criminals—widely known for their atrocities but feared or respected enough to walk openly without consequence and escaping the legal system due to good work from their legal team and the occasional bribe. This carefully cultivated reputation became an asset, allowing them to minimize interference with their operations. To maintain this image and safeguard their activities, they even bought local newspapers, subtly pushing propaganda to deflect attention from any scandals or misdeeds.
Ten years ago, Adone passed the mantle of leadership to his eldest son, Dante Benedicto Salvatore, now the "padrino." Under his rule, the focus shifted toward expansion, particularly targeting the Empire's capital as the next market with the most potential. Today, the Salvatore Family is a formidable power within the underworld of Regalia, with their influence continuing to grow as they push into new territories.
Wealth & Businesses:
The Salvatore Family generates the majority of its income from two primary operations: "procurement services," which often refers to mercenary work, and "logistics," primarily involving smuggling activities. Alongside these, two smaller yet steadily growing revenue streams include their Finance Management branch—an intricate money laundering scheme that conceals illicit gains by cycling funds through their newspapers, restaurants, logistics companies, and more—and their Beverage and Pharmaceutical Company, which supplies a large amount of bars in Montania and the Capital with Alcohol, and occasionaly ships out less legal drugs aswell.
Their profits are strategically allocated toward indulgent luxuries, territorial expansion, and investments in "public relations initiatives." These initiatives span a wide range, from bribery and propaganda to philanthropic efforts designed to paint the Salvatores as charitable benefactors, further solidifying their influence while masking their criminal activities.
