Clan Giovanni

Giovanni Clan Titles

7 dot - Dis Pater - Augustus Giovanni, the unliving head of the Giovanni and all of it's families. There is no greater authority in the Clan of Death than the patriarch himself.
6 dot - Maestro/Maestra: Each continent has a master, who reports back to Venice. He controls the padroni, and takes the credit or blame for local failures.
5 dot - Padrone/Padrona: Every region has a padrone, coordinating the various capi and households, and taking tribute from the households to pass up the chain.
4 dot - Anziano/Anziana: The catchall term for elders. The anziani vote to steer the family when Augustus doesn’t set down specific direction. An elder may also be a padrone or nonna, but if you don’t know a member of the family and she seems powerful, anziana is the safe way to go.
4 dot - In-City Clan Head - Don/Donna: Traditionally, this is actually a noble title, but you’ll find it used for leaders and people with loads of money, too. You wouldn’t call someone “Don Giovanni,” unless his given name was Giovanni. Antonia Giovanni would be Donna Antonia.
3 dot - Consigliere: There are certain Kindred who are wiser than others. Vampires who are respected not because of their fists or ability to provide profits for the Family, but because of their knowledge and counsel. Rarely does a Don or Donna make a decision without first having the issue pass the ears of their consigliere, often their closest ally. He represents the Don and is often sent out to the rank and file to settle disputes, or give out orders. This is done for psychological reasons, and legal reasons. Add an extra layer between the dirty work and you, and you give the 'feds' an extra headache as well.
3 dot - Nonno/Nonna: Grandparents. The eldest members of the family generally carry the most power in a specific household, even if they aren’t technically anziani. If any visiting anziani are about, of course, they get their way, but even then, in most cases, it’s considered polite to appear to defer to the nonni.
2 dot - Capo/Capa: The boss most Giovanni see. This is the local guy on the street, checking in with your household, making sure things are running smoothly and giving marching orders.
1 dot - Crypt Keeper - Someone has to keep the local corpses in line and care for the crypts. For the Giovanni, this is a necessity.
1 dot - Enforcer/Associate - Your basic leg-breaking muscle, and a title carried with an almost suspicious amount of pride by a great number of mafia-associated Giovanni. Enforcers are not usually titled because of their brains. Particularly staunch allies of the Giovanni have been known to have been given the Title 'Associate' as a message of respect and Clan friendship.
