Background Information
	
	Born to Michael and Antoinette Pappallo in the southside of New Jersey in 1900, his father packed his family up and hauled them off to Queens after receiving a new job. It is on the streets of Queens that young Dominick found his way into the unsavory: stealing stereos, boosting cigarettes, stealing from fruit stands. He spent young adult years (21-30) making a name for himself as a local tough guy who worked well with his fists and his mouth.
	
	Eventually he caught the eye of some of the wisemen around Queens and soon was a respected associate of the Lombardi. Pappallo didn't "make his bones" in the same vein as other mobsters--he didn't commit a murder. Pappallo made his bones by earning: he ran bookie and loan shark operations, white collar crimes, money laundering, embezzlement, buying off judges, doctors, and politicians. He established relationships within and outside of the underworld and was soon a rising star in the underworld and within his own respective crime family.
	
	And while Pappallo himself has avoided pulling triggers for most of his criminal career, he is not averse to calling hits when necessary. Even when ordering an execution, he is selective and careful; he does not bring death to those who do not deserve it, or those who have no involvement with the underworld. He also tends to avoid harming insignificant street hoods (petty drug dealers/users, petty thieves, etc.) His good nature, calm demeanor, and intuitive knowledge of humans serve to make him one of the most respected and beloved characters in all of the underworld; it is also the reason he runs a large cell of soldiers underneath Don Lombardi--Uncle Pappallo's legitimate connections in combination with the sheer number of made men and associates under his command make his reach seemingly endless.
