James Francis Campo (a.k.a. Bulldog)
Description
A heavyset, balding man in his mid-50s, Campo dresses like he’s still running for office: rumpled suits, American flag lapel pin, and too many pens in his breast pocket. He’s got a smoker’s voice and a lunchpail grin, but there’s nothing simple about him. Campo learned long ago how to make power stick—favors, files, and friends in the right places. He was Skip O’Reilly’s right hand for years, and some say he was smarter than the Alderman ever was. Since Skip’s assassination, Campo’s been scrambling to hold onto the ward’s machinery—precinct captains, zoning boards, sanitation unions. He’s a pragmatist: the kind of guy who’ll shake your hand while a deputy tags your car with a citation. But with the right crew at his back? He just might rise.Personality
Crafty, gregarious, and always two steps ahead. He’s not flashy, but he’s sharp. Doesn’t like threats, but he loves leverage. Plays dumb until he doesn’t have to.Habits
Keeps a locked file box labeled “Insurance” in his office. No one knows what’s inside, but he guards it more than his family photos. Always pays in cash. Usually small bills, usually with a wink. If Campo’s writing a check, it’s a trap. Eats the same lunch every day: a bologna sandwich and pickle. Says it keeps him grounded. Uses bureaucratic red tape like a weapon. Need a liquor license, a zoning permit, or a parole transfer? Campo knows how to make it happen—or make it disappear.Hooks & Angles
Needs protection. Without Skip, his political enemies are circling. He might look to the Southside Sinners to remind folks he’s still dangerous. Knows too much. Campo helped Skip bury secrets for decades—including some the Outfit, the CPD, and the Church want kept buried. Leverage dealer. Campo always has dirt on someone. If the crew needs blackmail, favors, or city records, Campo is a powerful resource. Corruption troubles. The FBI Arcane Division has started sniffing around his old dealings. He might need a crew willing to make those problems go away.
