Richie Salvatore Manusco (a.k.a. Mans)

Dark Chicago       People    The Outfit    26th St. Crew    Lucchesi Labor League      Richie Mans

Description

Short, wiry, and perpetually coiled like a spring, Richie Manusco looks like a man who never left the 1930s. His dark suits hang a little loose on his tough, leathery frame, but his shark-like grin and darting black eyes give him a presence that fills any room. He carries the permanent scowl of a man who thinks respect is a birthright—and he's ready to beat it out of anyone who forgets.

Personality

Volatile, petty, and dangerously proud. Richie takes everything—everything—personally. His moods swing from charming nostalgia to murderous rage in a heartbeat. Deep down, he craves the old days when muscle ruled, and he loathes the "soft politics" Uncle Carm now favors. His loyalty to Carm is absolute—rooted in old debts and old blood—but his interpretation of "helping" is often disastrous.

Habits

Lights cigarettes, smokes two puffs, forgets them, then lights another

Brags about old scores no one asked to hear about

Randomly challenges "disrespectful" men to fights over imagined slights

Leaves his engine idling when meeting people—ready to bolt or ram

Hooks & Angles

Just released from Joliet after a 15-year stretch—and itching to "get back what's owed"

Deep personal loyalty to Uncle Carm—but no patience for Carm's slow, careful methods

Hates anyone under 40—thinks the new generation is "all talk and no balls"

Might derail delicate Outfit operations simply because he "doesn't like how some punk looked at him"
