Name: Joseph 'Joey Gunz" Giacomo Savastano 

Background:

Son to Italian immigrants, he grew up in the poorest parts of town. He got involved in the drugtrade with his friends early on. However, where the other kids saw the profits Joey saw gun violence. Seeing his childhood friends die (one by one) got him thinking. Not that he had been afraid of dying, but he'd rather play the odds. Inspecting his gun he figured: "Why die in these streets when you can make a profit of the paranoia of others?" 

Soon after he moved from pushing drugs to pushing guns. Earning himself the reputation of a gun expert and the nickname 'Gunz' before he'd even turned 18. In no time he went from selling to friend, to selling to acquintances, to selling to a wide variety of cliëntele. Becoming a household name among the street soldiers of the crime families of Philadelphia.

Always on the travel for his gun sales he was reluctant to commit to one family. Then hee met Jack Mezzo. The man's charm and the smoothness with which the family operated convinced him to change his ways. Now he's on his way to write his own legend. 

Joey has been described by aqcuintances as charming, intelligent and well-mannered young man with a business mindset. A quick thinker and slow talker. Prepared and ambitious. Some say he could have made a great politician if it weren't for his circumstances.
