Baldur's Gate Mafia

The Families
The organised crime within Baldur's Gate consists of three main families:

Scialatelli
The most ruthless and merciless of the big three crime families, the Scialatelli, deal in assassinations and other violent crimes. They currently hold the most power and influence over Baldur's Gate, with many lords and politics of the land in their pocket.

Capelletti
The Capelletti family is known best for their information brokers and blackmail schemes. If there is a secret to be known in Baldur's Gate, they will know it sooner or later. However, over the last few years they have slowly been losing territory to the Scialatelli.

Vermicelli
Keeping mostly to their own nefarious deeds, the Vermicelli are most infamous for their loan sharking and manipulation. They stray away from dealings with the other two families to stay unnoticed in the shadows.

Involvement with Waypoint
The existence of the mafia was first introduced to Waypoint when an ex-Scialatelli hitman, Luigi "The Polisher" Rigatoni (PC), failed to complete an assassination of Craig Montebrook. Craig spared his life and allowed him to stay in Waypoint, knowing Scialatelli will not take kindly to Luigi's failure.

Having a rough time getting his footing in Waypoint, Luigi decided to take his chances back in Baldur's Gate. This plan did not go so well, and two months later Luigi returned to Waypoint having been tortured and hunted by the Scialatelli family.

Over the following weeks, several hitmen came to collect the price on Luigi's head. Each hitmen renowned for their own unique personalities and methods of assassination. Hitmen like The Priest, The Jester and The Butcher. During these attacks, Studium and Quaerere defended Luigi and slayed the hitmen. After these attacks came, an old friend of Luigi and Capelletti freelancer, Jackie had paid him a visit. During this meeting, Jackie gave Luigi an offer to kill him painlessly, unlike the fates that the other hitmen would give Luigi. Instead, Luigi grew tired of his life being in danger and convinced Jackie to let him try take out Scialatelli's right hand man. With a bit of hesitation, Jackie agreed to the plan and told Luigi of a mafia camp in the woods near Waypoint.

In the quest The forbidden marinara sauce, a group found the camp and assassinated Vinny, Scialatelli's right hand man. In the process they framed the hit on the Bugatti's of Waterdeep, a young and rising family of like minded individuals known for their aggressive expansionist mindset. Often known to use outside help as a proxy for their activities. Rumblings have put them as planning a play for Baldur's Gate.

After the assassination of Vinny, Jackie came to see Luigi and told him the Capelletti family wants to help him in the future.

In the quest Don't do drugs, kids, Jackie gave the party return tickets to Baldur's Gate to assassinate Dominic Scialatelli during a private meeting with Marco Vermicelli. The group of adventurers travelled to Lark's Drift and used a teleportation circle to get to Baldur's Gate. Once there, they did some shopping and then headed to the Hanged Man Inn, where they fought and killed both Marco and Dominic in a tavern brawl. Luigi personally beating Dominic to a pulp himself. Afterwards, Luigi recruited four of the Scialatelli men: Mr Bigs, Giovani, Keith and Toni.

This event left Angelo Capelletti the only remaining crime boss of the main crime families in Baldur's Gate.

The Rigatoni Operation
After the events of the Mafia storyline, Luigi set up his own operation in Waypoint. Using his barbershop, Rigatoni Shave and Shine, he produced the infamous Kraken's Mist drug disguised as a red hair gel that could be applied to the scalp to take effect.

This operation was halted briefly by a ghost problem that haunted his mansion and the barbershop attached to it. In the quest Luigi's Mansion 4: The Machinations of a Crustaceans, a group of adventurers took on a paranormal investigation gig to sort out this ghost infestation. Luigi had evidently built his mansion atop some old catacombs and used it for his drug dealing operation. Needless to say, the spirits that rested in those catacombs were not too happy with this development.'' ''
