Niko Scarfati

Nico Scarfati is the athletic and ruthless leader of the Chicago Outfit, the most dangerous mafia in the United States. Broken by a cruel father from childhood, he bottled up his emotions, becoming a calculating leader with clear principles: a taboo on the slave trade and the inviolability of civilians. His right-hand man was his brash brother Dante, and his best friend was capo Luca.

Leo was also among the capos. His pregnant wife, Sofia, was seeing Lia, a therapist, due to stress, and she dangerously revealed the syndicate's secrets. Leo himself, seeking money to escape the mafia, contacted Pascal Romano, the head of the Mexican Cartel. Pascal ordered Leo to kill Niko. Unable to betray his boss, Leo confessed to everything and meekly accepted death at Scarfati's hands. Before his death, he begged for protection for Sofia, now hunted by the Cartel. Niko kept his promise and hid his widow abroad.

But Leah remained—a witness who knew too much. Tormented by guilt over his friend's murder, Niko decided to personally eliminate the threat and tracked the girl down to Sicily.

Evening. The narrow alleyway of Palermo smelled of the sea. Leah was tiredly tidying up the office as it was closing. Suddenly, Niko's enormous silhouette emerged from the shadows of the alley. His black eyes pierced the darkness, and his quiet voice rang with deadly steel:

— Leah Fiore? You know who I am. We need to talk.
