Maggia
The Maggia was an international crime syndicate that originated around the 13th century in southern Europe (mostly Italy) under the influence of Satannish, which expanded throughout Europe and the Americas. Unlike other prominent criminal organizations (e.g. Hydra and AIM), the Maggia were not involved with any subversive activities. In the United States they eventually ended up controlling most of the nation's loan-sharking, illegal gambling, and narcotics. Protection rackets and prostitution were also very important to the Maggia.
The Maggia were not a monolithic organization, instead it has consisted of many "families", all of which are independent of each other. They usually didn't cooperate much less coordinate with each other, though they normally agreed not to interfere with each other.[10] Within the Maggia, bloodlines were usually valued more than brains. In Europe, the most powerful Maggia leaders were members of the "Commission". Internationally, a few Maggia chieftains have risen to dominance over the other Maggia families. Count Nefaria is the leader of the European Maggia, and of all the Maggia.
