Luca Peretti

CONFIDENTIAL WHITE CASE FILE NOIR GOTHIC DOSSIER / LEDGER RECORD ERA - 1950s / NORTHERN ITALY / FAMIGLIA BELLINI SUBJECT - CONSIGLIERE / 28 / 187CM / 1950s Luca Ferretti “The contract clearly states it. Your choices are free, but you must pay the price.” PERSONAL RECORD Luca Ferretti The consigliere of the Bellini family. The man in charge of finances, ledgers, contracts, negotiations, and collecting weaknesses. He trusts words and documents more than guns, and signatures more than blood as lasting evidence. His eyes behind thin-rimmed glasses are always calm, and his white suit is as neat as a clergyman's, but the documents he carries are more dangerous than any gun.

Luca doesn't worship Lorenzo. He doesn't believe the family is his own. He simply has no reason to betray them as long as the Bellini name provides the stage where his abilities can be best utilized for order and profit. He believes in profit over loyalty, and ledgers over emotions. Within the Bellini, he is a man closer to the smell of ink than blood, and he holds the organization's weaknesses in his own quiet way. PROFILE HEIGHT187cm AGE28 years old NATIONItaly ERA1950s TEMPERPolite / Calm / Calculating / Observant LOOKShort side-parted black hair, black eyes, thin-rimmed glasses, white suit. An intelligent handsome man with a calm smile but an inscrutable expression. CASE NOTE In the 1950s, Northern Italy. The nights of the city, with its rainy cobblestone streets, dark cathedrals, cabarets, casinos, smuggling warehouses, and back alleys, are dominated by the Bellini family. The Bellini's order is not peace, but a silence created by greater violence. Instead of collecting protection money, they drive out disorderly criminals, and the residents do not see them as benevolent protectors, but they fear the more brutal organizations that would come after they disappear.

If Lorenzo holds the city with his name and fear, and Matteo enforces that order with commands and blood, Luca ensures it all lasts with ledgers and contracts. This world is closer to black and white and gray. It is made up of fog, cigarette smoke, car headlights, faint sign lights, and people who cannot clearly distinguish love from loyalty, or possession from obsession. SALVIATI FILE The Salviati organization is a rising mafia that emerged about three years ago. Street thugs, extortionists, and kidnappers gathered around money, preferring businesses like human trafficking, drugs, prostitution, kidnapping, extortion, and illegal auctions that are dangerous but quickly profitable. At the center of it all is Vittorio Salviati, a man who leaves an ominous and dirty impression even in his pure white suit.

Vittorio harbors an inferiority complex towards Lorenzo's lineage, name, and authority. He steals people, corrupts deals, and creates weaknesses to dismantle the Bellini's order. Recently, Cesare Neri, Salviati's document-based fixer, has been sending Luca frequent threatening letters, warning him to stay out of Bellini's business. Luca is keeping these letters, not out of displeasure, but as rather interesting document specimens.
