Hello beautiful readers! I have added the original cast and added the few that I had missed and also put in the newer members. This is how I envision them. The beautiful thing about books however, is that you can imagine the characters however you wish.
Alessandro Santos
Nickname: Alex, Ale.
(23 years old)
Mariano di Vaio
Leader of the Italian Mafia. He must act as heartless as he can, but in reality he is a good man. He may kill, but it is only those guilty of horrid crimes. Even in his job he finds the way to do some good. In the world of darkness he has found an angel named Amber. He is kidnapped immediately after they marry.
Amber Beaumont
Nicknames: Little one, cupcake, bella, Ambs.
(18 years old)
Arina Perchik
Amber had been a prisoner her entire life, knowing nothing but pain. All of it changed as soon as Alessandro saved her. She has found happiness but fate doesn't seem to agree with that.
(She is the closest I have found to the Amber I imagined. Please imagine her with hazel colored eyes.)
Emily Smith
Nickname: Em
(19 years old)
Tashi Rodriguez
Born into the perfect life: friends, the best grades, parents who were happily married, a younger sister and everything else a teenager could hope for. Sadly, all of that was taken from her the moment she was abducted by Dominic's gang. While she was there she went through the worst thing that had ever happened to her. The only thing that made everything feel like it was going to be ok was fragile little Amber. Ever since then they have become best friends, they help each other stay strong.
Alan Marshall
(55 years old)
Timothy V. Murphy
The monster who is responsible for all of Amber's suffering. It was not enough for him to torture Amber for ten years, he decided to try and take her a second time but he fails and takes the man she loves instead. He isn't giving up on taking her once more.
Dominic Petrov
(Deceased)
Tommy Flanagan
A former tormentor of Amber. He had bought Amber and kidnapped Emily and held them captive for a month.
Nicholas Bianchi
Nickname: Nico
(22 years old)
Edward Wilding
He is Alessandro's right hand man. They have been best friends since birth. He knows Alessandro better than anyone else and he always helps stop him whenever his impulsiveness pushes him to make rash decisions. He wants nothing but the best for his brother so he will make sure he makes the right choices no matter what.
Axel Reagan
(29 years old)
Nicknames: Ax, Axy
Matthew Nozska
One of Alessandro's most trusted men besides Nicholas. They met each other when Axel was sent to attack Alessandro. He used to work for the army and was one of the best. He was discharged under strange circumstances. He was abducted by chance by a large and powerful gang. Long story short, things took a turn and Alessandro gave him a spot on the team.
Marcos García
(25 years old)
Adam Rodríguez
He has also always been in Alessandro's and Nicholas's life. He was the big brother that protected them as best as he could. He was the son of one of the security men working for the old Italian Capo. He grew up under the roof of a mafia, he was given a chance to become part of it.
Cleo Santos
(22 years old)
Amber Scholl
Elegant and poised. She doesn't do any dirty work but it doesn't mean she can't defend herself. She mainly helps in planning and making sure everything runs smoothly. She is Alessandro's cousin and just like him she must maintain a cold exterior in front of everyone who isn't her famiglia. When she is with people she trusts, she shows her true goofy, kind and sweet self. Fun fact: she loves everything that sparkles.
Maddox Reagan
(50 years old)
Mads Mikkelson
He was saved by Alessandro during one of his monthly good deeds. One night gang members made their way into his house and took the only thing that mattered to him. After that, they decided to keep him and torture him just for fun. Then, they made him begin distributing. It all ended when Alex gave him a new home and a new family. But, it was too late, he was already a broken man. He doesn't know it but Alessandro considers him the closest thing to a father he has ever had.
Maxwell Callahan
(16 years old)
Nickname: Max
River Viiperi
Ever since he and Blade met each other they have been inseparable. They were taken by some very bad people. They were trained a bit before they were sent out onto their first mission. They were not prepared. When Alessandro found him he noticed how scared Max looked. He offered him a safe place. He accepted the offer with the only condition being that Blade come with him.
Real name (secret): Vincent Evans
Name: Blade
(21 years old)
Thomas Davenport
He rarely trusts anyone because of the life he's had. That's why he was hesitant when Alessandro offered to help them. Why would he? Now, he is more than thankful that Alex found them. He is determined to make him proud because the boss was the only man he has ever looked up to. He owes everything to him. His only other purpose is to protect his little brother Max. Fact: Only Max and Alessandro know his real name, everyone else knows him as Blade.
Name: Melinda
(48 years old)
Still not decided
She has worked for the Mafia as a housekeeper for years. The previous boss, Emilio was a very cruel man who treated her poorly, forcing her to continue working for him. She practically raised Alessandro and decided to stay with him when he finally ascended. She loves everyone in the family deeply.
Stefano Bianchi

T.R. Pescod
Former partner of Emilio Santos until he was murdered alongside his wife. He was Nicholas' father, a kind man that was not bad even though he was in charge of the Mafia.
Emilio Santos
(Deceased)

A cruel and vile man who cared for nothing other than money and power. His only weakness has been his wife that is long dead. From that moment any kindness he had disappeared. He murdered his life long friend for power. His reign ended when his only son, Alesandro, turned on him and killed him.
Antonio Santos
(55 years old)

He is Alessandro's cousin, Antonio's youngest son. He is a nice man that is not at all like his brother. He is mostly a reserved individual.
Angelo Santos
(28 years old)

He is Alessandro' other cousin, the one he doesn't like. He is a player and has always competed against Alessandro for everything. He seems like a ruthless guy but I mean, never judge a book by it's cover. Sometimes people can surprise you.
Luca Bartalotti
(32 years old)
Raoul Bova
Inicially defiant but he slowly warms up to Amber. He becomes one of her trusted men and aids her in whatever she asks. The Mafia is his life and he takes it very seriously, his father was Stefano's right hand man and since he was a boy this is the only life he has known.
