Skullgirls

The Medici are one of the most powerful and influential criminal families in the world of Skullgirls. They operate as a mafia organization that controls much of the organized crime, using wealth, intimidation, and violence to maintain their power. The family is primarily led by the brothers Lorenzo, Vitale, and Ottomo Medici, who run illegal businesses and seek to expand their influence. They are known for their ruthlessness and for not hesitating to eliminate anyone who stands in their way.

Some people have a direct relationship with them:
Cerebella was raised by the Medici from a young age and works for them as one of their main fighters.
Black Dahlia is one of their most dangerous assassins and one of the family's most trusted people.
Ms. Fortune had conflicts with them after the Medici stole an object very important to her group.

The Skull Heart is an ancient magical artifact shaped like a bone heart that possesses almost limitless power. It is considered one of the most dangerous objects in the world, as it has the ability to grant a single wish to whoever manages to obtain it, provided their wish is pure. Everyone seeks to defeat the one corrupted by the Skull Heart in order to make a wish.

They are a group of three divine deities who represent order and oppose the corruption of the Skull Heart. They are responsible for creating and protecting the Divine Weapons, relics intended to combat the Skull Heart's corruption and the forces of evil. Although immensely powerful beings, they rarely intervene directly in world events. Instead, they act through champions, relics, and the Divine Weapons to maintain balance and halt the Skull Heart's threat.
