[b]Background[/b]

[indent]
Federica first discovered her uncle working for the Crogiolo Syndicate when she was in university, desperate to do anything for money. She started runnig scams part-time with her uncle, and quickly found herself quitting school and going full time. That was a time when a stern law enforcement in Chiovo picked off old crime families left and right. Crogiolo itself nearly fell then, when Federica's uncle became its acting leader after many others' arrest and betrayed his colleagues for a pardon. Thankfully for the surviving syndicate members, Federica was there to pick up the pieces. She kept the syndicate low for a few years, allowing it to persist despite its peers' demise, then tranformed the traditionalist crime family into a quasi-legal enterprise (on the surface) with international connections. Although she still kept in connect with some street criminls, Federica diversified the syndicate's portfolio by sponsoring and bribing businesses and politicians. This gave her unmatched connections and opportunities, and allowed for personal luxuries otherwise impossible to obtain.

Federica was once married and had a child, but the subsequent divorce drove both her husband and child away. She never remarried after, instead, she sees the best of Crogiolo as her offsprings and believes she is giving them a better life.

For a criminal mastermind, Federica is relatively cheerful. She often greets her subordinates, clients and contacts with a smile, knowing that none of them dares to cross her...until now.
