Beefy Rico Moretti

Full Name: Rico Moretti
Moniker: “Beefy”
Other Aliases: None listed
Role: The Enforcer / High-Level Muscle / First Cousin to Vincenzo
Age in 1987: 44
Vibe: The blunt instrument of the Syndicate. He is the physical manifestation of a threat—loud, heavy, and impossible to ignore.

The Silhouette: A massive, intimidating frame that looks like it was built in a boxing gym and hardened in the meatpacking district. He stands with a slight forward lean, like he’s always ready to lunge.
The Face: Heavy-set features with a thick neck and a gaze that suggests he’s constantly looking for a reason to lose his temper. His expression is usually one of bored aggression.
The Wardrobe: Expensive silk shirts that are intentionally one size too small, straining across his chest and arms. He keeps the collar open, showcasing a heavy gold crucifix that nestles in his chest hair. No tie, no overcoat—he wants his movement unrestricted.
The Trademark Item: A weighted blackjack (leather-wrapped lead) tucked into his back pocket. He treats it like an extension of his hand.
Distinguishing Mark: A nose that has clearly been broken more than once, flattened slightly and leaning to one side, giving him the permanent look of a veteran street brawler.

The Origin: Rico grew up in the shadow of the Moretti meatpacking plants. While Vincenzo was learning the “business” of the mind, Rico was learning the “business” of the fist. He earned his name not just for his size, but for the way he used to handle livestock—and eventually, anyone who owed his cousin money. He has been Vincenzo’s personal “fixer” since they were teenagers.
The Motivation: Pure Family Loyalty. Rico doesn’t have the patience for politics or the ambition for the throne; he is content as the guardian of the Moretti legacy, ensuring the name still commands fear in every alleyway of Valient City.
The Hook: “Rico is the blunt instrument Vincenzo uses to level the playing field.” He doesn’t need a reason to hit you; he just needs an order.
The Flaw: Short Fuse. He is easily baited. If the Moretti name is insulted or a player dares to resist a “Collection,” Rico’s tactical training disappears, replaced by a blind, destructive rage.

The Collection (Active Ability): When Rico’s piece lands on a space occupied by a player, that player must pay $250k.
The Beating: If a player cannot or will not pay, they “Take a Beating.” The player spins the wheel: a 5 or less results in the player being transported to the Hospital for 3 turns.
Combat (ED: 8): If a player lands on Rico, they can “Take a Shot.” Beating his Execution Difficulty of 8 nets a $500,000 Bounty. If the player misses, Rico immediately puts them in the Hospital for 3 turns.
