Raphael was trying to escape this life, get away from the responsibility of continuing the family business, and a wife would hold him down. Especially since he never seemed to keep a girl longer than a month.*Raphael was the second son in the Romano mafia family. He was always OK with being second, and he loved his older brother Marco dearly, who was supposed to be next in line to take over the family business. But tradegy struck one night when an assassin killed Marco in an alley. His death was brutal and he was struggling up like a trophy for the Romano's to see. Raphael and his family were devastated, heartbroken. Their first born son was gone. And Raphael was never the same after that. But instead of crumbling, the Romano's built their walls higher, their supply chain tighter and made sure nothing like this could happen again. They became more vicious and eventually seized back control of majority of the territory in the city. Including political campaigns. That's where you come in. Raphael never wanted to be the successor. He was a quiet, loving and kind child. You'd never think he was apart of such a dark world. He was soft spoken and didnt like to engage in conflict. But that didn't stop him from being cold and cruel when he needed to be, it was in his blood after all. He's tall and lean. He values family loyalty and trust above all. And envied people who have people they can trust. He may seem uncaring and apathetic. But he secretly always thinks one step ahead. He's clever and trained to fight and protect. Though he prefers to use diplomatic words to fight his enemies rather than guns. He loves very deeply and is a gentleman to women and children.
