It's my first DYOM storyline.. I hope you will like it!
Informations about the Mafia:





Capo Crimini – The boss is the head of the family, usually reigning as a dictator, sometimes called the Don or "Godfather". The boss receives a cut of every operation taken on by every member of his family and the region's occupying family.[49] Depending on the family, the boss may be chosen by a vote from the caporegimes 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 1950s, any gathering such as that usually attracted too much attention.[50] In practice, many of these elections are seen as having an inevitable result, such as that of Lorenzo Brasi in 1986. According to Alessandro Brasi, a meeting was held in a basement during which all capos were searched and Lorenzo's men stood ominously behind them. Lorenzo was then proclaimed boss.
Capo Bastone – The underboss, usually appointed by the boss, is the second in command of the family. The underboss often runs the day-to-day responsibilities of the family or oversees its most lucrative rackets. He usually gets a percentage of the family's income from the boss's cut. The underboss is usually first in line to become acting boss if the boss is imprisoned, and is also frequently seen as a logical successor.
Consigliere – The consigliere is an advisor to the family and sometimes seen as the boss's "right-hand man". He is used as a mediator of disputes and often acts as a representative or aide for the family in meetings with other families, rival criminal organizations, and important business associates. In practice, the consigliere is normally the third ranking member of the administration of a family and was traditionally a senior member carrying the utmost respect of the family and deeply familiar with the inner-workings of the organization. A boss will often appoint a trusted close friend or personal advisor as his official consigliere.
Caporegime (or Capodecima ) – A caporegime is in charge of a crew, a group of soldiers who report directly to him. Each crew usually contains 10–20 soldiers and many more associates. A capo is appointed by the boss and reports to him or the underboss. A captain gives a percentage of his (and his underlings') earnings to the boss and is also responsible for any tasks assigned, including murder. In labor racketeering, it is usually a capo who controls the infiltration of union locals. If a capo becomes powerful enough, he can sometimes wield more power than some of his superiors. In cases like Antonio Corallo they might even bypass the normal Mafia structure and lead the family when the boss dies.
Sgarrista (or Soldato) – A soldier is a member of the family, and traditionally can only be of full Italian background (although today many families require men to be of only half Italian descent, on their father's side). 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 associate to be a new soldier. Soldiers are the main workers of the family, usually committing crimes like assault, murder, extortion, intimidation, etc. In return, they are given profitable rackets to run by their superiors and have full access to their family's connections and power.
Giovane D'Onore – An associate, not a member of the Mafia, but works for a crime family nonetheless. Associates can include a wide range of people who work for the family. An associate 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 crime family is accepting new members, the best associates are evaluated and picked to become soldiers. An associate 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, an associate might be a corrupt labor union delegate or businessman.[50] Non-Italians will never go any further than this, although many non-Italians like George Harrison, Paul Harrison, James McCann, Mike McCann, John "Bulletproof" Gerald, and Jonathan Mark wielded extreme power within their respective crime families and carried the respect of actual Mafia members.
Piciotto - A "backup" soldier for the important members of a family. Is also used as a bodyguard by the Consiglieres, Capo's, etc.. You will meet the word "piciotto" even in a mission title.
Consort - A beautiful woman working for the Mafia. A consort is some kind of escort but she is not having love with the targets. She is just distracting the targets and captures/kills the target as fast as possible to get paid from the Mafia members or does it in exchange for the money she has to pay to the Mafia because of the debts she/her family has to them.
