Though most criminal masterminds work behind the scenes, crime lords don’t mind getting their hands dirty.Tontelizi LegbreakerWhen Tontelizi first took to a life of crime, he was relegated to leg-breaking as a joke on his slight stature—and collections doubled. Soon, the crime family found that Tontelizi excelled at any task involving extortion, intimidation, or violence. When the patriarch’s health failed—assisted by Tontelizi’s poison—the gnome eliminated two likely successors and cowed the rest with threats and blackmail. He was chosen to take over the family with nearly unanimous support.
