Brief Backstory: Vito is a veteran of the Great War and has spent the past five years (1917-1921) in Europe, mostly France. He was an infantryman, serving on the Western Front, and often being sent on trench raids. The horrors of war—muddy trenches, relentless artillery barrages, the cries of wounded comrades—left him shell-shocked and disconnected, struggling to find his place in a world that had changed dramatically during his absence. The smell of gunpowder and the sight of no man's land haunted his dreams, a stark contrast to the vibrant memories of his youth.
Born in Taormina, Sicily, in 1894, Vito is a first-generation immigrant who grew up in Little Italy on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The crowded tenements and gritty streets were his training ground, where he quickly learned the harsh realities of life. Gangs and violence were a significant part of his upbringing and transition into young adulthood. The Aces and Eights gang was his family, providing a sense of belonging and protection amidst the chaos of the streets. Vito is one of the last surviving members of Aces and Eights, who isn't currently in prison or dead.
Upon his return to Manhattan, he finds the neighborhood both familiar and alien, filled with memories of a past life that no longer exists. The bustling streets, the smell of Italian cooking wafting from open windows, and the vibrant community that once felt like home now seem distant and surreal. The sense of camaraderie he once felt with his gang is gone, replaced by a profound loneliness and a feeling of being out of place.
A childhood friend and former gang associate, Luigi Maltese, has risen through the ranks and is now a made man within the Occhipinti Crime Family. Luigi extends a lifeline to Vito, offering him a new chapter in his life. Luigi, who managed to navigate the treacherous waters of the criminal underworld and emerge as a powerful figure, sees potential in Vito's wartime skills and loyalty. He offers Vito a job within the organization, a chance to regain some semblance of purpose and stability.
As Vito navigates the complexities of post-war existence, Luigi's offer presents both an opportunity for stability and the perilous allure of the criminal underworld. The promise of money, power, and a sense of belonging is tempting, but Vito must grapple with his conscience and the memories of the war that still haunt him. The streets of Manhattan are a battlefield of a different kind, and Vito must decide whether to follow Luigi down a path of crime or find a way to forge his own future in a world that has left him behind.
