Paul Longo is a soldier in the Colombo crime family (NYC) though operates in Los Santos, under capo regime Dominic Montemarano. His operations span out of Sabella's social club (Mirror Park) and his rackets primarily focus on murder-for-hire, armed robbery and loan-sharking. Paul Longo was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York to an underworld associated father and a stay-at-home mother. He was described as a relatively mediocre student but with a talent for sports, in particular ice hockey. Although it served him well in the hockey ring, Longo's overaggressive attitude and haste to solving issues with his fists led to an early high school exit and no college scholarship to the dismay of his mother. Longo had a job as an errand boy for local grocery owned by friend of his father and mafia inductee, Thomas Capelli. Under Capelli, Paul would begin regularly selling stolen cigarettes and liquor to his high school friends. It was here he would catch the attention of two integral players in his career of organized crime, Dominic Montemarano and Angelo Sisca. After the internal Colombo war, Montemarano proved to be on the winning side as a loyalist to Carmine Persico. It was here he would form his own crew in Los Angeles, taking Longo and Sisca across to the West Coast. It was in Los Angeles that Longo would receive his first criminal conviction for first degree assault. On the eve of the new millennia, Longo, Irishman Lenoard Collins and Colombo associates Louis Sabella and Robert Mazzari, were arrested by police for assaulting a local African-American drug dealer in Mirror Park. Collins, Mazzari and Sabella were sentenced to a year as no weapons were found on their persons, unlike Longo who was found in possession of a bat leading to three years incarceration. It is unsure as to when Longo received his knighthood in the Colombo organization. However, mafia experts believe it to be around the time of his release. And ever since his leave from prison, the Montemarano crew have flown under the radar, dabbling in low level criminal activities to avoid attention of federal agents. However, recent increases in organized crime in the West Coast, in particular the growth of a satellite crew from the Philadelphia crime family has seen Longo's resurgence. On January 22nd, Longo's long time mentor and capo, Dominic Montemarano, passed away due to a foreign flu. During his last few years, Montemarano had semi-retired in the Vinewood Hills leaving the day-to-day operations for both Longo and Sisca. Unbeknownst to Montemarano, the duo had been in long term discussions with Carroll Street through influential ex-Colombo captain, Carmine Lupo, regarding a merger between Philip Martorano's Philadelphia satellite crew. The demands from Carroll Street were straight forward: one of either Longo or Sisca must be on the panel of the newly formed borgata and 15% of all illicit earnings be returned to New York's hands. Sisca was brought forward to Martorano as his new consiglierie with Longo now taking role of capo regime in the newly formed family's Downtown crew. Unfortunately for Longo, these plans were put on halt after the murder of Anthony Limone, an associate of Longo's, slain for his disrespect of inducted Colombo member, Ernest Savona. Both Savona and Longo were arrested for the shooting alongside the clean up crew, Ronald Ganisa and Robert Bonfiglio. The latter three were offered an unrefusable plea by the District Attorney's LS office - Conspiracy of Second Degree Murder and six months incarcerastion with Savona choosing to stand trial, citing a lack of evidence. The news story of the trios' plea deal spiraled out of control with popular Los Santos News Network (LSNN) journalist, Victoria Miller, airing the story on primetime television. However, unknown to the newly formed crime family on the West Coast, Longo developed devious sexual relations with Miller and used her to damage the reputation of the DA's office claiming discrimination toward the Italian-American community. Miller revealed her undoubtable loyalty to Longo, feinting on television to avoid reading a statement to the article by the DA's office. As a result of Miller's media storm, on the 3rd January a march of over 30 stormed the courts demanding the release of Ernest Savona, orchestrated by the puppeteers behind the scenes, Longo and Sisca.

This story will share personal character development, as well as screenshots from the The Philadelphia Connection faction thread.)

This thread showcases the development of Larry "Accidents" Castellucci. Larry Accidents was born in 1995 and grew up in North Las Vegas. As a child, he was the average student in primary school, staying out of trouble and bothering nobody, but later on, got hooked up with the shady older students while he was in high school. The high-school years were pretty rough because his family was struggling and he could not afford the cool stuff some of his richer classmates could and he was bullied over it. He began resenting them and once he even got into a fight with one of the asshole classmates while they were all in the school's cantina. Some older students, also American-Italian, saw the fight and began taking Larry under their wing to avoid bullying. They took him to the local gym they were also visiting and that's where Larry began his road down the criminal path. He started small, working out as a usual customer and also taking half sheet bets from some customers in the gym's leader's name. Thus he got pulled into the betting ring where, as he grew up, Larry would begin taking on his own customers and running a little online betting site hosted off-shore in Europe. Aside from taking the bets, Larry would also get sent to threaten and/or recover unpaid debts, because the gym owner was also loaning people. Sometimes he would come with the money, sometimes he would come beaten up and that would prompt him to return with a few more guys and getting the money back through other means, either in cash after a violent act, or by thieving whatever of value the bad debtor had. Sometimes even whole cars. In 2016/2017, the gym owner passed him over as a reliable guy to Anthony Valeri, a known shylock in Vegas. This way, the gym owner, who was an associate to the Bonanno crime family, put Larry on record with the Bonanno associate, Anthony. Under Tony, Larry would participate in various criminal activities and later on follow him to Los Santos to be part of his new crew.
