Firpo the Fist - il capo

Character Profile

Subject: Firpo “The Fist”

Affiliation: Elite Enforcer / Brawler for Hire

Full Name: Francesco Firpo
Moniker: “The Fist”
Other Aliases: “The Human Wrecking Ball”
Role: Elite Enforcer / Heavy-Handed Lesson
Age in 1987: 34
Vibe: Raw, industrial, and menacing. Firpo is a brute-force instrument used to send a messy, painful message. He doesn’t care about the “business”—he cares about the break

The Silhouette: A massive, intimidating figure who carries himself with the slumped, heavy gait of a man who has spent too many rounds in a basement ring.
The Face: A face that has absorbed a thousand punches; thickened brow, cauliflower ears, and a cold, unblinking stare.
The Wardrobe: A heavy, worn brown leather jacket over a thick grey turtleneck sweater. It’s a blue-collar uniform for a man who treats violence like a day shift.
The Trademark Item: His hands are perpetually wrapped in thick white athletic tape, often stained with the remnants of his last “lesson.” He doesn’t use gloves; he wants to feel the impact.
The Location: Usually found in grim, dimly lit gyms, venting his frustration on a heavy bag until the chains rattle.

The Origin: A former underground brawler who realized that “cheating” was just another word for “winning.” Firpo was scouted out of the backroom fight clubs for his sheer durability. He isn’t a marksman or a strategist; he is the guy you send when you want the target to feel every second of their demise.
The Motivation: Raw Power and Intimidation. Firpo doesn’t need a complex plan when he can just break whatever—or whoever—is in front of him.
The Hook: “He’s like a human wrecking ball—one heavy-handed lesson.”
The Threat: Unlike the more “refined” hitmen, Firpo is messy. He doesn’t just stop a heart; he shatters the ribs around it.

Main Role: Heavy-Handed Lesson (Passive). Firpo’s sheer size and durability make him a nightmare to take down in a direct confrontation.
Specialist Skill: Brute Force (Active). Firpo doesn’t believe in clean kills; he believes in overwhelming power. As a brawler who doesn’t mind “cheating,” he ensures even a glancing blow becomes fatal.
The Result: Once per game, if Firpo is in your crew, you may activate this skill during a Hit attempt. You immediately add +2 to your final spin value. This represents Firpo jumping into the fray to ensure the target doesn’t walk away.
Execution Difficulty (ED: 7): To successfully Whack Firpo, the attacker must spin an 8, 9, or 10. If the attacker spins a 1 through 7, Firpo shrugs off the attempt and counters with a bone-shattering blow, remaining in play.
