Infiltrator CR Meme!
Once you've decided what role you want to play as an infiltrator, brainwashed to believe you belong in 1930s Brooklyn, this is the place to talk with other players about shared backstory and relationships you'd like to plan out for the plot. If you're playing a plot-important role, we'd ask that you not disclose any plot secrets here, obviously, and for ease of identification we ask that characters not change their first names unless absolutely necessary for suspension of disbelief, but otherwise everything is fair game! Just make a top-level comment below with your character's name in the subject line, fill out the little form, and then tag around as you like!

Backstory/Description of new identity: Elijah is the patriarch of the Bensonhurst mob family. He's more than earned his place in the family as he had been groomed to assume the position from a fairly young age and controls it with your standard iron fist. In his time since assuming control, Elijah has done well in maintaining and expanding the family. Those working within the family both fear and respect him (as they damn well should) and they understand the rules he lays down as they are carried out from top to bottom with no exceptions.
The family has always come first for him and, as the name of his role would suggest, he believes the family will only remain strong so long as they hold fast to the traditions that have carried them this far. He's never once hesitated to eliminate a threat to the family either himself or through other means. (As a general policy/rule, Elijah only asks kindly once if he's going to bother at all.) Those that demonstrate that level of loyalty are able to rise in the ranks fairly quickly if they play their cards right. Those that don't or exceedingly disappoint him? Well, you could ask them what happens, but you're likely going to have an extremely hard time finding them. He's not excessively cruel, however. He's willing to offer at least a second chance and maybe even a third chance if you're lucky. But his patience does have limits and it's best to be on the good side of that.
Significant changes in personality/mannerisms: There aren't too many significant changes beyond the fact Elijah's a little more ambitious than his normal counterpart in terms of taking what he wants and therefore a little quicker to be more cutthroat. Otherwise, he's about the same. He's difficult to read in terms of what he's thinking or feeling in a particular moment unless he decides to inform you, etc.
Kinds of CR/RP scenarios you're looking for with this plot: Man, just about anything and everything you wanna throw at me, I'm good for.
Anything Else?: xoxo
