Criminal Career
Mama Cappelli started her own "business" dealing with street crime in her neighborhood. She took the young boys in her neighborhood who came from broken families and instilled them a sense of pride. They became her little army.
When the times got tough for Mama her boys were ready to help her out and she quickly realized her little army of street thugs could turn a profit. So Mama turned to crime - not on the people in her neighborhood - but the big businesses and other crime families.
The police have had the darndest time pinning anything on Mama since her boys never, ever, speak out against her. Yet as sweet as Mama is to her boys, she can be equally as venimous to her foes or those who stand in her way.
Fortunately for Mama Cappelli there will always be a fresh supply of young men who need a mother to turn to.
Henchmen
Mama Cappelli relies on her trusted five henchmen, Lorenzo, Moe, Bob, Kurt, Freddy, and the fifth who she lovingly refers to as "Dearie."
