Bianca Family

[Grover]

The Bianca family was a dirt-poor, unranked family from the backwater canals of Illyrian.  Unranked with no political power, following the death of their parents, the orphaned siblings turned to a life of crime.  Now, years later, the family is still unranked but the siblings and their half brother run a growing criminal enterprise.

Gualtiero Bianca, head of family

Constant beatings from his drunken parents made Gualtiero a very sullen child, but an elderly local pharmacist took pity on him and mentored him in his craft, securing Gualtiero a position in a school of herbalism and pharmacy in the city of Illyrian.  His third year in school, the pharmacist passed away from old age and his parents died only months later in a drunken gondola accident.  Penniless and without support, he turned his skills to producing illicit pharmaceuticals and found he had quite a talent for it.  With the help of a fellow pharmacy student (who had failed out the previous year and began dealing drugs), he slowly began to grow his criminal enterprise.

Now, years later, Gualtiero and his assistant, Jesse Uomorosa, produce illicit pharmaceuticals in their caravan, the Nave di Krystallo.  This product is then smuggled into Illyrian by Gualtiero's brother-in-law, Cletus, and distributed by their sister the madame and their half-brother nightclub bouncer.  Gualtiero is a ruthless, brutal head of the Bianca crime family.

Serifina Bianca

Serafina is the second oldest of the siblings behind Gualtiero, and felt obligated to take care of the family after her parents' death.  While Gualtiero was off starting up his business, she turned to the oldest profession to make money.  Through traditional Varlyrian methods, Serafina quickly gained power in the working house, becoming the Madame.  She revamped the business with a high-end clientele and began making more money.  She renamed the house to "The Golden Banana" and now provides services to the rich and powerful in Varlyrio.  Having reconciled with Gualtiero largely for a substantial cut of his profits, she now distributes wholesale 'product' to upper scale clients and provides law enforcement protection through bribes and blackmail.

Niccolo Bianca

Third eldest of the siblings, Niccolo Bianca was cared for by his oldest sister Serifina as a child.  He learned the value of a dollar and how to prey upon the desires of others, distributing some of Gualtiero's pharmaceutical on the street as a teen.  He saved his money and started to run his own gambling rackets in back alleys where he sold drugs.  This grew, and he eventually took over a run down casino, renovating it and bringing in new clientele.  He now runs a moderately successful casino in Illyrian that launders Gualtiero's money, sells drugs to clients, and provides cover for nefarious meetings of multiple Varlyrian underworld members.  He is hard-nosed, has strict rules of his employees not using their product, and will eliminate anyone who breaks the rules or crosses him.  His business is close to Serifina's, and they regularly refer clients to one another.

Abriana Bianca, her husband Cletus Thurbrush, and her four sons 'Carlo'

Youngest of the siblings, Gualtiero's disaster of a sister Abriana ran all over town with every man she could find after her parents died.  Never the brightest, Abriana named all of her four sons Carlo after her father, telling them apart by their last names.  She seems to have settled on the alligator farmer Cletus Thurbrush and she lives with him on the murky, fetid backwater lower class canals of Illyrian in a ramshackle house with her children and their numerous dogs.  Cletus smuggles Gualtiero's bulk product around the city inside of alligator corpses, smelly, disgusting vehicles for transport that rarely are searched by authorities.

Thag, half-orc half-brother

The unusual product of their father's dalliance with an orc woman, the siblings' half-brother Thag works as a bouncer at a nightclub.  He is a low-level dealer of Gualtiero's product and helps with enforcing and extortion operations in their drug territory.

Spoiler

After the recent intrigue on the island guild, I thought it was time to spice it up with a new, openly playable, and fully hilarious Varlyrian family.

Now, this is hilarious! :D

I too really like the dark side of humanity, every little shady business, every little illegal thing like gambling, drugs, and other delicate bodily pleasures. These little details can give a bit of dark thone, into the grand picture. Most of the stories focus on the pinnacle of society, and not everyone shows us, the slums. It's always, looking behind the curtains of reality. Meet with those, whose life isn't fame and luxury. 

Classic Varlyrian family introduction, with funny scenes. I like them. I see you too find a way, to use CMF costumes.

I really like the Breaking Bad reference on the first family member. Never saw the show, but know some of the characters from there, and you recreated the good!

I also hope, you didn't want to change Avalonia to  Varlyrio. :D

Glad you liked it!  Now that your CDC2 minifigure series is out, it seems to go along with them!

I didn't know if people would catch the Breaking Bad reference, but I wanted to lighten some of the darker aspects of society with some humor.  And no, I'm not with Varlyrio, still building for Avalonia!
