Carmine Vittorio Lucchesi (a.k.a. Uncle Carm)

Dark Chicago       People    The Outfit    26th St. Crew    Lucchesi Labor League      Uncle Carm

Description

Uncle Carm looks every bit the neighborhood grandpa—stout, well-dressed in slightly worn suits, always with a fedora tipped low over his sharp gray eyes. His face is deeply lined from decades of Chicago wind and cigarette smoke, and his gait is slow but deliberate. When Uncle Carm speaks, it's with the careful weight of a man who knows a hundred secrets and expects you to listen.

Personality

Carmine is patient, calculating, and quietly ruthless. He values tradition, respect, and loyalty—but understands that real power flows through unions, city contracts, and "good old boys" networks. He is a master at backroom deals and prefers to own a man with a handshake rather than a bullet.

Habits

Always has a hand-rolled cigarette tucked behind his ear, even indoors

Feeds pigeons at the park every Sunday morning

Never raises his voice; anger is shown through silence

Keeps an old union pin on his lapel at all times

Hooks & Angles

Controls key labor unions that could make or break New City rackets

Sees Bagels as a dangerous "modernizer" who risks the old ways

Will offer tempting "deals" that seem like peace but actually entrap players into his control

Holds favors with several aldermen and judges—favors he will call in when least expected
