Francis Salvatore Bellini (a.k.a. Spats)
Description
Frankie Morelli wears danger like a tailored suit—quiet, pressed, and ready for business. Tall and broad-shouldered with a sharp jaw and a lazy smirk that never reaches his eyes, he moves like a man who’s already sized up the exits and decided whether you’re worth the bullet. His hair is slicked back, black with flecks of early gray, and he favors open collars and dark slacks under a camel overcoat. His signature black-and-white spats are always clean—an old-school nod nobody’s brave enough to mock. His voice is slow, rough, and calm—like gravel dragged across linoleum. He’s only in his early 30s, but the weight he carries makes him feel older.Personality
Frankie doesn’t talk unless it matters. He listens. Watches. Lets people show their cards while he lights a smoke and waits for the moment to end them. He’s shrewd, deeply calculating, and never rattled—not in the room, not under pressure, not with a gun in his hand. When he acts, it’s sudden and decisive—whether it’s a business pivot or a bullet in someone’s gut. He doesn’t enjoy violence, but he’s never avoided it. What makes him terrifying is how controlled he is—like he’s always holding back something worse.Habits

Hooks & Angles

Rumored to keep a ledger of everyone who’s ever disrespected him—nothing on the list gets crossed out
