~*Connections & Wanted Characters*~

They're numerous, greater than the police in headcount, though only a third of their total numbers are actual DiGiovanni. The rest are smaller houses and families that have been assimilated over the years through a mixture of violence and bargaining, giving them a finger in every proverbial pie. The proper DiGiovanni family members live a life of luxury and comfort, by and large, conducting themselves as upstanding members of the community.

Second, and more sinisterly, they are the inquisitors. When a Konovich agent needs to spill his secret, he turns up in a lavish room of the Drake Hotel where a Walker can make him talk. They specialize in torture and the disappearance of bodies for when cement shoes just won't do. The one fact that makes the other families fear the Walkers is how they continue on. The family turned incestuous decades ago, meaning that what true Walkers there are today (roughly twenty) are sterile and fairly cracked. The younger members? Each and every one of them is the child of an enemy, an orphan taken in by the twisted higher branches of the family, raised to believe they're Walkers as well and to keep the tradition going (Note: the Walkers never take in siblings, just one from an enemy family). The incestuous habits are not encouraged or even spoken of among the younger adoptees in the family, only the elder Walkers are aware of this dirty little secret.

But with the arrival of the Konoviches? There was real power to be had, money to be made. And it was all tapped into by the O'Malleys. They own a few square blocks in town; tenement housing, pubs, meat processing plants and more. But with the Syndicate, they've gained so much more. In exchange, the O'Malleys provide a large amount of the soldiers the Konoviches use for bulk muscle, as well as managing a countering bootlegging operation to the DiGiovannis that caters to their own neighborhoods. The O'Malleys do not flinch from violence, but by and large aren't the ruthless killers that their superiors. They simply understand the necessity of violence in the world they're trapped in.

The O'Malleys aren't the power in the city now that they once were. Evidence of their criminal activities were given to the police by Eris Stockard, information which she obtained from Brett Trent. These were given to Jackson Haas, who headed the force that started with the closure of Babylon. This was supplemented by Eris' leaking to the Echo some facts she had about the city officials who were involved with the O'Malleys. Add in the brutal slaying of one of the senior O'Malley captains, Moira O'Malley, and the family turned on itself, and, having become a danger to the entire Syndicate, was taken down. The O'Malleys are now scattered.

Roommates - she has three. The one she actually shares a room with is a drug dealer. All three are somewhat aware of but seem not too concerned with her working at the Drake while telling her family otherwise, even though they don't know why. They get along well, but they all kind of have their own lives going on.
