Vincenzio Barinov's Mafia family

Vincenzio Barinov is the product of a powerful marriage between old Russian and Italian Mafia families. Although his family is not the dominant family in Seattle, they have carved out a niche for themselves in the harsh streets of Auburn. Vincenzio's family organization has many divisions within it: old resentments from before the two sides of the organization came together. Only Vincenzio's clever talk and his beloved place as the only son of his two cherished parents maintains the peace within the family. Vincenzio's mother Maria-Estella was the darling daughter of the head of the Carzoni Mafia family. The Carzonis were in a turf war with the Russian mafia families in South Seattle. Petr Barinov was the youngest child of one of the great Russian kingpins. Like a 21st century Romeo, Barinov fell in love with and wooed Maria-Estella overcoming much bad blood with their happy marriage. The two of them were able to seal the breach between the families and gave rise to a time of incredible peace on the streets Auburn. Five years ago the powerful couple died in a tragic car accident which left many wondering if the age of peace had come to an end. In this vacuum of power their only child, the young heir Vincenzio Barinov, was forced to grow up fast. Although he is barely 17 his name and his parent's reputations have been enough to hold the united mafia organization together. His chief advisor is his mother's brother Marcus Carzoni, a veteran from the Mafia wars of the 2050s. Marcus, a mercilless and unforgiving curmudgeon, has become a sort of regent for the young heir to the family. Marcus's position of power created many resentments amongst Vincenzio's cousins. In particular the Barinov twins Boris and Tsarov, two very hot-headed Russian mobsters who grew up losing many friends and family members during the Mafia wars of the 2050s, have made it clear that they will not put up with the Carzoni power position. Vincenzio's charismatic personality and the legacy his beloved parents have left him are all that keep the peace and ensure the family's position of preeminence in Auburn's organized crime scene.
