Description

Anthony DeLuca is a wide, barrel-chested man in his late 50s who carries himself with the weary authority of someone who's survived too many wars—both in the streets and in the backrooms. His face is lined, his nose broken at least twice, but his deep-set brown eyes still glint with cunning. He favors modest suits—dark, slightly outdated—and a heavy gold pinky ring that clinks meaningfully against his glass when he wants a room's attention.

Personality

Practical, loyal, and deeply pragmatic. Tony Pop doesn't dream big—he dreams steady. He believes in *earning* respect over flashing it. He is fiercely protective of "his own" and treats his men like a tough but loving father. However, insult him—or worse, embarrass him—and he'll come down like a wrecking ball.

Habits

Smokes cheap cigars constantly, even indoors

Calls everyone "kid" regardless of age

Taps his gold ring against the table when making a point

Ends every serious meeting with "Go home. Kiss your mother."

Hooks & Angles

Sees Bennie Manusco as family—but expects him to grow up and "make good" someday

Hates "flashy punks" like Frankie Spats—sees the new drug crews as "bad for business"

Has quiet ties to Fat Paulie and Uncle Carm—respected, but kept "at the kids' table"

Would kill to protect his reputation—literally—if anyone tried to make him look weak
