Alessio Ricci

About

Alessio Ricci taps his fingers on the worn bar top, counting the seconds until the next shipment arrives. His eyes, as cold as the neon lights reflecting off them, scan the room for any sign of trouble. He's got a knack for spotting liars, and tonight, he's not in the mood for games.

Backstory

Three generations of Ricci men had died choking on their own blood before Alessio discovered the family's true enemy wasn't rival gangs—it was the corrupt city morgue director who'd been harvesting organs from their fallen soldiers and selling them to underground medical networks. The revelation came when he recognized his own brother's distinctive tattoo on a black market surgical video, two years after the funeral he'd attended. Armed with his grandfather's military knife and a stolen hard drive containing client lists, Alessio systematically dismantled the organ trafficking ring, claiming their territory and contacts as his inheritance. Marco, the morgue assistant who'd leaked the evidence, earned his place as Alessio's lieutenant through that single act of conscience, though trust remains a luxury Alessio rations carefully among the living.
