The Yakuza Crime Syndicates, seeing an opportunity, began the rapid expansion of their empire into every major western city. Oyabun Hiro Mashimoto was given Chicago, sparking a conflict against Misiano's people. The turf wars they waged were recorded as the most brutal in the annals of criminal history. As the death tolls mounted, both Capo Misiano and Oyabun Mashimoto began to take the battle personally. Neither man could accept a willful sharing of power, so the slayings continued. When the bugs began to claim Chicago in 2056, both families called a hasty cease fire. Misiano organizing a makeshift meeting with the Yakuza Oyabun -- and for the first time, both men met face to face in a non-descript warehouse as their city fell around them. Capo Misiano proposed a truce, and suggested both families cut their losses and take refuge in the CityState of Seattle -- Mashimoto agreed. As the meeting concluded, the area was overrun by bug spirits. The creatures poured into the warehouse itself, and the situation became a fight for survival. Misiano, accompanied by his four best goombahs, brandished small arms and began to retreat with a horde of giant mantis in hot pursuit. The bugs caught them, rending the bodyguards limb from limb and impaling Misiano through the spine. Hiro Mashimoto, out of respect for his long time enemy -- and in honor of their truce -- drew a ceremonial katana and fell upon the mantis spirit. It was slain by Mashimoto's blade, and Don Misiano was rescued and brought to safety. Both families fled the remains of Chicago, the bug attack leaving Misiano crippled -- without use of his legs. The Seattle Syndicate was set up rapidly, and the Misiano Family was soon back in business. He could not, however, attain his former glory -- as the Mafioso pie was shared with both the O'Malley and Faraduchi families. When Misiano had claimed as much ground as he could, he decided to expand even further -- and in a bid for turf he ruthlessly launched a full offensive against the fledgling Mashimoto family. Mashimoto's clan, having placed trust in the honor of Capo Misiano, was dealt a heavy blow and lost much ground in the attacks. Misiano would have attained complete victory, if not for the Nagasaki clan coming to Mashimoto's aid. Years passed, and the fighting settled into random skirmishes. In retaliation for Misiano's betrayal, his Godson was murdered by Mashimoto's men. Having no children of his own, Misiano's nephew was to have been the heir to his empire. Shortly after, his wife succumbed to an inoperable cancer and died. His world shattered, Don Misiano vowed to destroy the rival Oyabun -- whom he blamed for his own downfall. Before he could launch an attack; however, the FBI finally caught up to him -- effectively tying the aged crimelord's hands. Unable to utilize his own resources in his quest for vengeance, Misiano looked to the shadows...
 * Bio:** Born in Chicago before the turn of the century, Donald Misiano lived through every significant event of the Sixth World. He started his Mafia career as a courier when he was ten, and became a made man the old fashioned way -- by knocking off anyone who stood in his path. The VITAS plague claimed many of his competitors, and ever the opportunist -- Misiano moved up to take the reigns. He became a Don when he was only 35, and a Capo by 43. The turmoil caused by the secession of the UCS -- along with the formation of the NAN, Tir Tairngire, and UCAS -- served only to strengthen the Misiano family's stranglehold on Chicago. While the world governments scrambled to maintain their failing empires, Misiano came to own the streets of the Windy City.

The Capo was, to say the least, pleased -- and hired them again soon after to destroy a meth lab run by the Russian mob. He also took a particular fondness to the beautiful Anne-Marie, and she to him -- the elf being eager to please such a powerful father figure.
 * Group Involvement:** Anne-Marie, Nova, and Johnathan Myers were hired early in their careers to murder Tetsuo Mashimoto, the only son of Yakuza Oyabun Hiro Mashimoto. Their employer, Mafia Capo Don Misiano, was under public investigation and pending trial -- so he chose to use outside forces to do his wetwork. The shadowrunners went above and beyond the call of duty -- not only killing Tetsuo, but all six of his heavily-cybered bodyguards, his wife and small child, his geisha, and his entire security staff! Not to mention demolishing his armored limousine, driving an exploding gas tanker into his house, and removing a finger from his corpse.
