Mob: The Valet

44
Born in 1893 in Little Italy, New York, Vince Moretti rose from a tailorโs son to one of Manhattanโs most refined bootleggers. At 34, he controls Midtown Manhattan, centered in Hellโs Kitchen and stretching to Times Square. His empire operates from The Blue Monarch, a lavish nightclub and speakeasy that fronts his liquor network. Vince rules through charm, bribes, and selective violence. His rival, Salvatore โSaltโ Romano, battles him for the Chelsea docks, while Federal Agent Thomas Hale hunts him from the shadows.
Tall, lean, and impeccably dressed, Vinceโs pinstripes and red silk tie reflect his style โ smooth, sharp, and dangerous. Nicknamed โThe Velvetโ for his soft voice and polished dealings, he prefers diplomacy to bloodshed โ unless cornered.
Charming but calculating, Vince calls loyalty โa business transaction.โ Violence without purpose is wasteful; betrayal is unforgivable. Born to Sicilian immigrants, he turned Prohibition into opportunity, building a chain of elite clubs and liquor routes from Canada to New York Harbor. Whiskey, jazz, and secrets flowed equally under his watch. He carries a pearl-handled Colt .32, smokes Chesterfields, discipline defines him.
Thomas Hale, a weary Prohibition agent from Boston, has chased Vince for three years, driven by guilt after his partner vanished in a failed sting. He sees taking Vince down as redemption, though corruption tempts him toward the same darkness.
Salvatore โSaltโ Romano, once Vinceโs ally, now rules the Lower East Side with brute force. Heโs the blunt weapon to Vinceโs velvet touch, his rage sharpened by a dead brother and a bitter betrayal.
And Evelyn โEvieโ Laurent, the jazz singer at The Blue Monarch, plays all sides โ Vinceโs muse, Saltโs confidante, and the Bureauโs informant. Searching for her missing brother, she hides a derringer and a plan: destroy whoeverโs guilty first.
In this fragile underworld, velvet, salt, and song will decide who survives the night.
