  1. Leonard was born in South Omaha Nebraska, in a little town called Riverview just beside the Niobrara River in the Midwestern USA. In 1956, Leonard was born to an Angelo & Patricia Cicciarello who are now both deceased, thanks to old age. He graduated high school in 1974, when he was 18. He finished high school and started working as a bookmaker for a local Riverview Luppino soldier named Martin Langella. In 1975, Leonard became officially connected in the Paparello Crew, in Paul Luppino's era. Leonard never got to do too much talking or socializing with Paul, but Paul acknowledged Leonard as an associate in Carlo Paparello's crew and kept their relationship rather distant. Leonard also met his wife Lucia this year, as she was still a sophomore in High School, a 3 year difference. Leonard was starting to learn that he was persistent around this age, and refused to take no for an answer upon being scrutinized by the love of his life. He persisted, and they officially started dating the same year they met each other. Six years would pass, Leonard had stayed loyal to Lucia, as she did to him. Leonard's relationship with Lucia grew to a level of no return and Leonard eventually proposed to her in 1981, when she turned 22. By this time, Leonard was a 25 year old hustler in Nebraska's underdog crime family. Paul Luppino himself attended Leonard Cicciarello's wedding, after 6 years of loyalty Paul started to open up to Leonard. Paul never got incredibly close to Leonard because Carlo Paparello, Paul's captain, was very strict about his men mingling with the higher ups. But Paul Luppino donated $30,000 to Leonard at his wedding, as a wedding gift. He also left Leonard a personal handwritten letter expressing how proud he is of him, and suggested that he had confidence that Leonard had what it took to be one of them. Obviously, the letter had to be vague, but he sure enough acknowledged Leonard and expressed his mild appreciation for him. In 1983, Paul Luppino died from complications of diabetes. Leonard was never able to develop the relationship he wanted to, with Paul. But instead, Paul went down as a legend among the men of Leonard's time. He was remembered as a dear leader and a friend of all wiseguys in North and South Omaha, family or not. Luppino captain Carlo Paparello, Leonard's superior, assumed power without forgiveness. He basically threatened the other captains by promising to start a war with the Biase organization if he wasn't picked. Carlo Paparello hated the Biase organization and he didn't keep it much of a secret, and he also expressed his disdain for Paul Luppino for being "too easy" on the Biase organization. None of the other captains dared to get in between Carlo and his self affirmed claims, and power shifted directly over to him. This made life hard for Leonard, at the ripe age of 27, but as a member of Paparello's crew before he assumed the boss position, this meant certain induction in the next coming years for him. Unfortunately for the rest of the family, Carlo Paparello was their boss for 34 whole years, from this point on. In 1985, Leonard Cicciarello assisted in the murder of associate-turned-informant, Patrick Garrety. Leonard was responsible for taking the informant into a whorehouse where he was murdered and made an example of. A day after the murder, Pat Garrety was found in a bush under an overpass hogtied by yarn & shot twice in the back of his head, a signature execution style for Midwestern gangsters. In 1986, Leonard masterminded a $230,000 drug heist in North Omaha. Leonard's gang, associates in the Langella Crew & Martin Langella all jumped out on a heroin deal Leonard set up. After the drugs were stolen, Leonard told the drug dealers that this is what they deserve for selling in their city without permission. The drug dealers immediately left Omaha without an ounce of trouble or pushback. In 1987, everyone was already calling him "Cici." It was a street name that stuck with him for the rest of his life. Leonard Cicciarello was well known and well respected among the members of his family. Martin Langella proposed sponsorship of Leonard to become an official soldier in the Luppino Crime Family. The new boss, Carlo Paparello accepted, having been familiarized with Cicciarello over the years. Cici would go onto blend in well as a soldier for 5 years. He'd spend his time mingling with his own family as well as members of the Biase organization who took a liking to Cicciarello. Before he knew it, he had a whole bunch of names now. "Cheech," "Lenny Riverview," & of course "Cici." A small handful of people started calling him "Skippy" because he'd never pay his tab at the local bars after he got made, but that nickname was short lived after he made it known that he hated that name. 1991 comes along and this is where life started to change for Leonard. Tony Biase, long time friend of Paul Luppino & lifelong kingpin of Omaha Nebraska, passes away just years after his release from prison. As the Omaha underworld began to gather around in mourning, Carlo Paparello, the infamous, makes a disrespectful remark about Biase, at the man's wake. Perplexed, shocked & extremely insulted, the Biase organization members force Carlo & his men out of the wake in an intense moment of resentment. Some would say this was the beginning of the end for Luppino, this very day. The start of a very slow, very sour collapse. Nine years go by. Nine Hellish years, for Leonard. Leonard, as a soldier under Paparello's command was always checking his corners and watching his back. Leonard has already lost friends as a result of Paparello's misbehavior and disrespect. Nine years of losing friends and losing business, before something finally paid off. At the cost of a dear friend, Leonard's life changed once again. Martin Langella was killed in a car accident by a driver hopped up on Methamphetamine and that man was immediately imprisoned for Manslaughter. With Martin gone, Carlo Paparello figured Leonard for 44 years old, married for 19 years, 2 kids with Lucia. It has been decided that Cicciarello has paid his dues. He was promoted to "captain" in the year 2000. In the year 2004, he busted out a local bathhouse, when the owner couldn't pay his debt for a loan. Raymond Murphy was a drug addict who pushed H through the joint. Leonard took over his rackets and ran up the check on the business, making it his place of operation for 8 whole years, out of his 12 year run as a captain. In turn, Leonard managed to keep the bath-house open, but Raymond Murphy was not satisfied with his wages and decided to turn Leonard in to the authorities. Leonard was arrested on federal money laundering and fraud charges. Leonard's reign as captain came to an end as he was sentenced to 5 years in Nebraska State Penitentiary. Leonard served his 5 years without saying a word to anyone although he was under suspicion of having ties to Omaha's Cosa Nostra. In 2012, the storm came. Ties with the Biase Family have finally snapped after 21 whole years of tension, paranoia, deteriorating respect & even violent fistfights between members. A war was afoot, and everyone in the Midwest knew it. The Civella Family and the Biase Family gave Carl Paparello his ultimatum. They said to leave Nebraska and never return, or face their wrath. Of course, as expected, Carl Paparello told the board members from these families to go fuck themselves. Verbatim. Over the course of 5 years, from 2012 to 2017, covert tactics were used against Luppino. Dirty, covert tactics. People were manipulated into ratting out members of their own family. The police were tipped off to wiretap all of the Luppino owned establishments & homes. Sting operations ensued, testimony shot through the roof and by the start of the very last quarter of 2017, Carlo Paparello and his ENTIRE board, were indicted, tried and convicted on federal racketeering charges. 25 years to life for each member, pretty much sentencing them to death at their age. Carlo Paparello serves 25 years without parole, destined and certain to die in a maximum security prison. The Luppino Family was rendered finished in Omaha. In September of 2017, Leonard Cicciarello finishes his 5 year stretch. He is released back out onto the streets with 2 felony convictions and a wife & family who picked him up from the pen. He came home to a Biase controlled neighborhood, not used to seeing what seemed like new faces, but were actually old faces. Confused, perplexed and befuddled, Leonard managed to get in contact with a Biase family member in the neighborhood. Out of respect for Leonard, the soldier told Leonard about everything that happened while he was away. He even agreed what happened was out of favor with the local wiseguys, but what's done is already done. He was given a phone number of a board member in Chicago's Outfit. He received the blessing to start operating in Los Santos and Leonard decided not to stage any pushback against the Biase family. Because of this decision, Leonard became respected among other bosses and the leftover members of the family, eventually landing him at the very top of Luppino's new ranking system. In late October, shortly after his release and realization that he had no more future in Nebraska, he had his sights set on Los Santos. He worked his way into the streets from scratch, with the men he considered dear. He managed to make contact with a few other "friends" in the city, outside of their organization, not their society. He then would go on to reorganize his ranks with the key people who voted him in as new boss after Paparello & his entire board's indictments. Jerry Delfini, Larry Corvotti, Georgie Calcagno, Phil Romano, all recognized names in Nebraska's criminal society. All of these men reorganized their organization within two weeks. Larry, Lenny's old cell-mate came out of prison around the time Lenny did, and started the Luppino family's very first crew in Los Santos, in the third era. Jerry Delfini took council, helping out with the hard calls and keeping the rules advised and on the table. Phil Romano served as the family's Underboss in these times of recovery, advising and overseeing the growth of the first crew. Larry brought in a guy from Youngstown, Pete Romagnoli. He brought in a kid named Francis Marchetti, from Los Santos and guys like "Gio" Cullotta straight in from the other side. All of these names eventually grew into the organization that made up today's Luppino organization. Moving and avoiding retaliation against the Biase organization's covert tactics, it wasn't easy for these boys, despite their progress. For Lenny and his group, it was a hard pill to swallow. Besides that, the new people were showing up late or not showing up at all, weren't paying tribute to their higher ups, it was a shit show. No respect, he'd figure. But just as things seemed to be getting either much much better or a little more worse each day, things most certainly got much much worse for this group of struggling outcasts. They had a run in with one of the Bonnanos in Los Santos, one that ended out of both of their favor. Far far away from home, Leonard thought. The soldier in the New York family drew his gun on Leonard Cicciarello, not 1 month after he made his presence known in the new city. This started a major, major issue for the family and Leonard himself, unbeknownst to him. When a 62 year old man, seemingly at the end of his rope goes into a dark place, the lights go out and darkness takes over. This cornered old man went into that darkness, and came out with eyes as black as night. No question, it was obvious to even his own members, Ole Cici was done being pushed around. He really went into the darkness, they say. Leonard organized a strategic place to stay while he started making ultimatums and playing with this guy's head. Delfini and Corvotti coordinated outside moves to reach out to their reserved group of friends. He used his temper to confuse and manipulate the members of the said crew. He made phone calls and started rumors as if he was picking away at his prey before his meal. And in just one very long, very drawn out month, 6 people, 4 of which were Luppino affiliated were murdered. It got ugly enough to make a lifetime stink over, as he dispatched his very few scouts and hitters. As the shit began to hit the fan, out of the endless blue, members of this so called "crew" had somehow ceased to exist. Paranoid for several weeks, holed up in the same house, staring at the same walls, he'd soon come to hear that there is no longer any trace of this rivaling crew. Not a single person has seen a single face for two weeks. It was official, they ran. Word got out, bosses contacted Leonard and set out to meet with his Consigliere to get the scoop. After a very short lived debate on the meaning of this chaos, they decided to give Leonard a pass, in regards to his recent complications. They asked that Leonard try to promote growth, now that they're out, and let all the bad blood die, should they ever return. This meant victory in the eyes of the stubborn, jaded old man. Coming out of his shell, Leonard capitalized heavily and eventually took over Los Santos's Cosa Nostra underworld, assuming the role as Capo Di Tutti Capi or "Boss of all bosses." He spends his days waiting for someone he approves of to sit on the board with him, to expand opportunity for Cosa Nostra as a whole in the city. Re-establishing, Leonard formed an alliance with other groups in the city, outside of their own. He did right by a few folks who meant something, they did right by him right back. As new relationships developed, this group slowly formed into what's known in Los Santos's streets today as "the council." A multi-organization super alliance, bound by rules and standards set by all parties involved, for a better class of their city's gangsters. This became the nail in the coffin, Leonard Cicciarello has fully and officially rekindled the Luppino family, with the help of the people he spent over fourty years of his life with in Omaha. Today, Leonard Cicciarello spearheads the organization, while his members develop a reputation of their own. He is totally unknown by authorities and has not developed a single criminal charge since his release six months ago. He spends most of his recent days with his wife Lucy, and his daughter Dianna, keeping tabs on his close and valued friends. Having avoided war twice, one by choice, one by coercion, he continues to expand his empire using the business fronts his family took up for legal income, leading a double life as a friendly midwestern family man, and the boss of Los Santos's brand new addition to the long list of organized crime groups. The Luppinos have successfully set up rackets and fronts all over the city, thanks to their loyalty and teamwork. Construction, drug trafficking and arms trafficking earned them their nut in the beginning, until they got into gambling, prostitution, porn, car theft, money laundering, loansharking, blackmail, fraud, extortion, kidnapping for ransom against their enemies and of course, murder where it was deemed necessary. Rumors in the street suggest that the "italians" are suspected to be responsible for at least 10 to 12 gangland murders since their 5-6 month arrival in late october. In just 6 short months, they doubled, then tripled in size. Leonard Cicciarello is Los Santos' "Boss of all bosses."
