Description
Richie Red is small—real small—but carries himself like he owns every room he walks into. He’s always in red: red suits, red ties, red socks, red-dyed leather gloves. What he lacks in stature he makes up for in venom and volume. His voice cuts like broken glass wrapped in silk, and he always smells like expensive cologne and danger. He thrives at parties, fundraisers, smoky backroom deals—anywhere people are lying to each other with a smile.Personality
Conniving, mean, and relentless. Richie loves the game—politics, power, pressure—and he’ll do anything to win. He talks fast and flatters faster, always looking for an angle. While Joe is calm and composed, Richie is pure fire: he explodes, manipulates, and wheedles. He’s loyal to Joe, but even his loyalty comes with sharp edges.Habits
Always wears at least one visible item of blood-red clothing Carries a silver cigarette case full of expensive French imports Drops insults wrapped in compliments, just to watch people squirm Keeps detailed notes on everyone he meets—weaknesses, secrets, blackmail fuelHooks & Angles
Political Pitbull: Richie’s the guy Joe sends when someone needs a scandal, a smear, or a sudden drop in public support. He knows how to make problems disappear. Jealous of Influence: He’s been with Joe the longest, and it gnaws at him that Chunk or Vinnie might hold more sway. Blackmail Artist: He has dirt on half the aldermen between the 15th and 20th wards—and he's not afraid to use it. Tangled Web: He’s made too many deals, promised too many things. One wrong move and a whole tower of lies could collapse around him—and Joe.
