My blood-line has been involved in this game for a very, long time. Back in the days when crime was founded. But in this life. In this life, my eyes have seen things that my father's and their father's and their father's father's have never come across. In this life, I have done things that my previous generation has never done. In this life, I have made achievements that my blood-line has never made before. And in this life, I want to do things that we have never even thought of before. I have high aspirations. Aspirations that I could be a hand one day, aspirations that I can become a crew-leader one day. Aspirations... that I could run a city. This is a small list of things I want to become.. but in order to become I need to do. Get it? Do things that are unique to me and me only. Need to work harder than ever before. Achieve more than ever before. And strive more actively than ever before.

In this life of mine I have had three crew-leader's altogether. All three were good friends. Batman, Atropos and now Hound.Atropos gave me the opportunity to do many things and gave me a fair bit of control of the small family we had. He wanted to give everyone in his family a role, a role that could potentially turn them into good mafioso. Why? Because he was a Don who'd experienced more than we have ever achieved. R.I.P. 

Batman. Now Batty was a man of high regards and high targets of everyone who died in the line of fire. He fought for his city and did much more than anyone expected of him. He ran a family like an iron fist. A fist that was a threat to anyone that tried to fuck with the family but a gentle hand to those clenched within it. Everyone knew each-other and every-one loved each-other and although a fair amount of soldiers were lost they will never be forgotten. R.I.P.

Hound. Now this guy is probably the most important person to me in this game. He's a person I look up to but never looks down on me. He's a person that I could trust with my life and he could trust me with his. I've known for a long, long time. And back when we were in the same family he never once thought that he would get as far as he did. Now, he's one of the most respected people in this game. His knowledge and experience is second to none and although he could probably fight a bear and rip it's head off he is the most gentle-hearted people I know. He's an awesome person who works day and night not just for his family but for his city and in times of need he's always there for me and for that I call this guy a brother. Live long my man.. Live long.

(BTW when I say in this life I mean on this character, lol)

Interesting show of appreciation for your leaders.

Batman and Hound are men I've had the pleasure of working with and knowing for a long time (RIP Batman).

While I have no knowledge of the inner workings of Batman's family, I would imagine what you said to be true. He was a good man and worked hard for his family. Hound is exactly as you said, though he also works hard for the Community as a whole, not just his own city. St Louis are very lucky to have him as their Underboss.

I can honestly agree with you on your opinion of Hound. Hound is not only a great leader but also a great friend to everyone of his members. He stresses hisself out only to make everyone in his family happy and feel a part of the family. He does what he can when he can for anyone in need. He took my father and his father in under his wing and raised them to be very strong mafioso. I wouldn't want to work for anyone else other then Hound. He is amazing and a very hard working man. I appreciate everything he has done for me, his family and the city of St. Louis.

donmorrison having heard about the past crew leaders of his friend Salvatore decided to put in his two cents.

I did not know Atropos very well at all. But however, the other two I knew very well. Hound is currently my crew leader and everything you have stated is exactly how I feel. Batman was an amazing person as well. We got a long pretty well on IRC Avenue and I'm glad to have met him. RIP.

But really, what you put about Hound is the exact way I feel. 

Excelent speach Salvatore! Its a nice sight to see you step out into the streets and voice your oppinion and tell a brief speach of the three men. Atropos and Hound were both great friends to my father and that will never be forgotten. Both men have worked hard along side him within the city building. RIP Atropos you were a good friend and leader and will be missed.

Puts his hat on his chest and says a small prayer.

I look forward  to seeing St.Louis prosper even with the fallen two leader, Atropos/Batman. Its time for a new beggining and life.

Two great men you worked for Salvatore my friend. Both did so much for the city of St. Louis and they will be missed. Batman with his witty attitude was a great Underboss here and Atropos never got to fully show his potential as the great leader he was destine to become. May they both RIP.

As for Hound, ugh sorry for your luck. We all know how unbalanced he is, you are going to need a leveler on hand at all times.

Love you Hound...No Homo!

Nice speech Salvatore, I myself have worked for both and they were great people and thought me alot, RIP Batman and RIP Atropos.

As for Hound my friend, may he live forever!
