History
Since his defeat at Daubmann's hands, Falko has been obsessed with showing up the Boss. He however grudgingly respects Daubmann's intellect and acumen. Daubmann is very well aware of Falko's grudge but makes no effort in discouraging it. If anything, he views it as motivating Falko to do better. As long as Falko does not act too subversive and the gambling dens continue to turn a profit, Daubmann is more than happy to maintain the status quo. If not, Gotti is merely a beckon away.
Nicknames & Petnames
Daubmann sometimes refer to Falko as "the Bastard", something that Falko has not being able to decide if it is insulting in nature or just referring to his self-proclamation.
Relationship Reasoning
Falko wants his revenge on Daubmann but has to be close to him to achieve it. He maintains a show of respect but secretly plots behind his Boss' back. Daubmann could not care less as long as it does not get in the way of profit.
History
Falko is not found of Gotti. He hovers too close to Daubmann, making it difficult to execute any plan. On top of that, Falko thinks of the Tilean as a big, dumb brute, too quick to resort to violence and more than willing to part with coin for female companionship rather than charming his way into their knickers like a true man should. Gotti is not amused by Falko's backbiting and disrespect of Daubmann. Furthermore, he views Falko as a weakling and a spendthrift, unwilling to dirty that pretty sword and wasting money on fancy clothes and hats. He's more than content to let Falko think him the fool but is more than ready, and willing, to crack his skull open at any sign of trouble.
Nicknames & Petnames
Falko often calls Gotti "Musclehead". Gotti refers to Falko as "Don Farabutto", Lord Scoundrel in Tilean.
Relationship Reasoning
The polar opposite of each other in outlook and loyalty to Daubmann, it's only natural they are antagonistic towards each other.
History
Falko has attempted to bed Kant more than once. So far, all he has received for his troubles is a tight slap and a stern warning not to try again lest Kant tells Zio Gotti what transpired. Still, Falko knows Ranald would favor him if he manages to win over a woman like Hulda Kant - a great beauty with a ferociously intelligent mind. Kant loathes Falko. The man has touched her more than once and tried numerous times to do so again even after a physical and verbal warning. She is tempted to report this to Frank Gotti but fears what her adoptive Uncle would do should he get wind of this. Falko does make the gang handsome profits from the gambling dens and she is reluctant to cost Daubmann a competent follower just because of her discomfort. As such she maintains a civil if frosty demeanour when dealing with him publicly.
Nicknames & Petnames
Falko likens Kant to an "Ice Queen", often referring to her as such. Not in front of Gotti though. Kant does not waste her time insulting Falko.
Relationship Reasoning
A lecherous individual and a traumatized rape victim - what's more to say?
History
An accountant and a swindler, friends do not make. Klopp does not trust Falko, not since he first caught the Lord Gambler attempting to embezzle more than his fair share of the gambling proceeds from the SchwarzeNägel. He does admit that Falko knows how to run a casino although he would not say that openly. Falko is frustrated with Klopp. The Reckoner makes things difficult and since being caught attempting to swindle from the Nails ("It was an honest mistake Herr Klopp!"), Falko has been careful not to give the book keeper any reason to delve further into his activities. Of all of Daubmann's associates, Falko is most wary of Klopp for his large network of informants and vast knowledge.
Nicknames & Petnames
Klopp refers to Falko as "Wurfels", meaning dice in Reikspiel. Falko refers to Klopp as the "Bean Counter".
Relationship Reasoning
Audit and Cheating do not play well together. Fact.
History
While maintaining a modicum of honesty between them, Jaeger and Falko cannot be said to fully trust one another. Both respect each other's prowess at taking what they want at the expense of others though - Falko keeps his coin purse close at hand when Jaeger is on the prowl and Jaeger is not dumb enough to challenge the Lord Gambler to any game of chance. Jaeger knows his place in the hierarchy of the gang and has little ambition to advance his status any further, doing Falko's bidding mostly without complaint.
Relationship Reasoning
There's honor among thieves - so long as the status quo remains.
