Riccardo De'Carli

16• Habits and Lifestyle: Wakes up at 6 a.m., drinks black coffee without sugar. He reads newspapers and police reports every day. He smokes Cuban cigars only when he's alone. He enjoys classical music (Bach, Vivaldi) and chess. He's obsessed with cleanliness—the loft is sterilely perfect. He hates clutter and latecomers.

17• Relationships with other characters: Charlie Butler is the love of his life, his weakness and strength, and he's willing to do anything for him. The Queen of Spades respects him but is wary. Other "cards" are wary, seeing them as competitors or temporary allies. Subordinates are feared, but rewarded generously for their loyalty.

18• Motivation and Goals: His primary goal is to provide Charlie with a safe and comfortable life, even at the cost of his own freedom. He also strives to expand his influence across the entire East Coast of the United States. He secretly dreams of quitting the game and moving to Europe with Charlie, but he realizes that's nearly impossible.

8• Appearance/physical features: Height 190 cm, athletic, lean build. Unusual black and white hair (left half black, right white), pulled back into a low ponytail. The left eyebrow is two-toned, the right is missing (a consequence of cloning experiments). Bright red eyes with vertical pupils - a legacy of Fyodor Nechitailo, giving him a demonic appearance. In his mouth are sharp fangs, which he bares in a menacing smile. Permanent attributes: black fedora with a red ribbon, white three-piece suit, red neckerchief or bow, black leather gloves. On his right hand is a silver signet ring in the form of the three of spades. On his left forearm is a tattoo of "3 of ♠", hidden under the sleeve.

9• Medical conditions: Chronic paranoia, developing into mild anxiety disorder. Insomnia due to constant thoughts of betrayal. Phobia - fear of open fire (after a fire in her youth).

10• Habitat: Brooklyn, New York. He lives in a spacious loft, which also serves as his gang's headquarters, but keeps his personal quarters secret. He often spends the night at Charlie Butler's house in Manhattan.

11• Race: Human (a clone of Fyodor Nechitailo, created as part of the "54 Cards" project). Possesses some of the original's superpowers, but they are weakened.

12• Occupation: Leader of a criminal group, professional robbery planner, organizer of shady deals, collector of art objects (for money laundering).

13• Strengths: Strategic thinking, calculating operations several moves ahead. Composure in ordinary situations. Leadership qualities – feared and respected by subordinates. Excellent memory for faces, details, and routes. Proficient with several types of weapons, preferring the Thompson submachine gun.

14• Weaknesses: Emotional instability in critical situations. Inability to improvise - if a plan doesn't go according to plan, becomes confused and angry. Excessive suspiciousness interferes with allied relationships. Not the most physically resilient - quickly gets tired during long periods.

1• Name: Riccardo de Carli

2• Nickname: "Don" or "Boss" - in mafia circles. "Three of Spades" - after a card from the "54 Cards" universe. Also sometimes "White Hat" - because of his invariable headdress.

3• Biological sex: Male

4• Age: 29 years

5• Position: Head of a mafia family / crime boss who controls several areas of New York.

6• Sexual orientation: Homosexual. He realized this only after meeting Charlie Butler—until then, he had suppressed any romantic feelings, considering them a hindrance. He feels a deep affection for Charlie, bordering on obsession: he is jealous, possessive, and willing to do anything for his safety. In the mafia, he keeps his relationships a closely guarded secret, fearing it would undermine his authority. He is gentle and trusting with Charlie—he is the only person he ever takes off his mask for.

7• Personality: On the outside, he's icy, calculating, and impenetrable. He speaks quietly but powerfully. Inside, he's a seething volcano of emotions, which he's used to suppressing. In stressful situations, he can break down into shouting or impulsive actions. He's paranoid to the core: he checks locks, distrusts his subordinates, and sleeps with a gun under his pillow. A workaholic, he plans every detail of his operations himself and doesn't tolerate negligence. He's devoted to the mafia code, but is willing to break any rule for Charlie. He has a dark, sarcastic sense of humor, but only in his inner circle.
