Announcement of New Don: Lil' Joey Puttanesca
August 2025
A note, passed to each known member of the undead Family via Big Joey:
Cousins,
You are receiving this letter as a formal announcement of my filling the recent vacancy our Family has found itself. I am ascending to the position of Don. There will be several changes to those who've taken positions.
Our cousin, the necromancist Alton Ghede, will be relegated back to the position of Underboss so he can focus on his studies while still leveraging his capabilities and knowledge within the Family. My brother, Big Joey, will be taking his place as chief advisor.
Amongst the newest members of our number, Vito Puttanesca will be taking on one of the Capo positions. You are expected to report to him first. I am looking for other aspiring blood to take on a role alongside him.
I want to clarify a few expectations I have for us:
-
None of you are to embrace without my express permission.
-
The Kitchen will be our official meeting place — both internally and externally. It is a place of peace and it will be respected as such. No hostilities are to be performed on its grounds; breach of this expectation will be punished harshly.
-
I want our people to continue shoring up our security. We recently had a breach and found out about it from word of mouth from the Rabble. I want this problem handled as quietly as possible — not a Baron waltzing onto my property.
-
Any boons of import given or taken from our Family are to be reported and filed with me. I want to keep track of this information for our security and yours.
Finally: we shall see the complete and utter defeat of this city's Olive Garden. I expect full cooperation on this endeavor.
In the coming weeks I shall be introducing myself properly to the leadership of both the Ivory Tower and the Anarch baronies. I will likely ask for two bodies during these events, so try to keep your schedules free if I call upon you.
If any of you — no matter your position — find yourself needing my attention for something too personal or too sensitive for a Capo or Underboss to handle, my doors are always open. I cannot promise I alone can take care of it, but I can promise I will do my best.
— Don Lil' Joey Puttanesca
