Character Profile - Leo Ramone - By Josh Nutt

Leo Ramone was an only child in the Ramone family so automatically became head of the Ramone mafia when his father mysteriously disappeared, presumed dead. He took to the Mafia like a duck to a water. When younger, he was friends with Alessandro Messina yet a fierce rivalry is born when Leo fails to pay back money which he borrowed for his wedding to his mistress, Francesca. Despite Alessandro being the best man at his wedding. Often quite easily led into traps and has been quite fortunate so far, in not to be killed. Killed at a poker match through a poisoned drink, left behind his widow Francesca and his 6 month old son, Marco, who when grown up, wants revenge for his deceased father. At the poker game in which he was killed, Leo Ramone had the best hand, the royal flush. Yet was never able to win the game.
