Hello, 

I realize I came out of nowhere, but I wanted to put in a character.

[hider=Little Tommy][B]Name:[/b] Tommaso "Little Tommy" Provenzano
[B]Age:[/b] 19
[B]Gender:[/b] Male
[B]Ethnicity/Nationality:[/b] Italian, illegally emigrated to the US from Palermo region of Sicily.
[b]Occupation:[/b] Delivery driver.
[B]Physical Description:[/b][INDENT]Under average height and stocky, Tommy manages to blend in, especially in an Italian neighborhood. He has an aquiline, very Moorish look to him; olive skin and obsidian eyes, hair combed carefully down and back. He has scars and calluses on his hands from his work. He isn't expensively dressed. He's not making that much.[/INDENT]
[B]Skillset:[/b][INDENT]Tommy is a surprisingly good driver and mechanic. He was apprenticed to a butcher at one point and worked kitchens to make ends meet. Mostly, he's used to hard labor and doesn't complain about having to do work, and he's added some muscle from somewhat decent nutrition in the US. Speaks perfect Italian, working on his English so it doesn't stand out as much. He's got a little work to do, but it's mostly the accent now.[/INDENT]
[B]History:[/b][INDENT]Tommaso's father, Paul, was killed when he was little in a typically Sicilian way; vendetta. His mother didn't last long past that either. Rather than stay to die by the hands of the men that Paul had a vendetta with (as generational revenge is a Sicilian thing), Tommy and his brother Peter managed to jump onto a freighter and work their way across. When they got to New York, they jumped right off. Tommy worked a number of odd jobs all his life alongside Pete until Pete passed from the influenza outbreak of 1918. Then it was all Tommy. He had to live on his own in Brooklyn, sometimes without an actual place to live. He knew how to keep his mouth shut and his head down.

In the course of a number of odd jobs dishwashing and cooking, he became a butcher's apprentice in Bensonhurst and then a delivery driver, working for a meat packing plant, delivering to and from the plant to the Port and points in between. In the course of delivery driving, he took money under the table to deliver other things. It was a way to make sure that he had a place to live and enough food to eat. 

One day, a couple of guys came to try and force Tommy to give up the goods. Tommy turned down their offer to take a small cut of the robbery. They implied that he needed to just play along or get hurt and it wasn't his problem is his boss lost some product; just the way of things. He knew that if he took that money, he'd lose the job and possibly his life -- that was the price of betrayal where he came from.

Instead of waiting for them to come for him with guns, he set up a meeting with both men to 'plan.' He took them both out with a lupara when they were in an elevator on their way to the meeting. There weren't any witnesses. The murders of Luciano Morello and Santino Navarro were part of a larger gang war, and the NYPD took interest. He didn't talk when the cops arrested him and there just wasn't any real evidence. He'd been too efficient in getting rid of the gun and establishing an alibi (because delivery drivers are seen a lot). A good lawyer turned up from nowhere, a Jew from Crown Heights that knew every move.

After that arrest, Little Tommy Provenzano had a reputation, or at least the start of one. He just went back to work and kept his head down. But, by then, he caught some people's attention.[/INDENT][/hider]

Note the part where Clemenza takes a lupara to the guys in the elevator; you will see this material again.[/hider]
