Mongo grew up in the Sperduti Crime family. He has no real aspirations for anything more than being a goon and contract killer. It’s the family business and he is all about the family name. His first kill was with his bare hand at 15, demonstrating his size and strength.
When his father ( Sperduti’s) brother passed away. Mongo was taken in and essentially raised by Marcio as his own.
[SPERDUTI] [GENDER:MALE] [50s]
Sperduti’s lineage and his crime family can be traced back to the First World War when his family were fresh off the boat.

To keep that from happening to him he then subsequently has then all killed and has been in power ever since.
