* The Valenti Family *

[Drawn]

The following is a fictional story with a real-life events basis.

Chapter 1: Once upon a time...
In August 1939, there was a huge wave of theft and murder that sweeped southern Italy. The police tried to convince the public that it was nothing out of the ordinary, just a bunch of crimes that happened due to fear from the inevitable: World War II. But they knew it was something more... something evil growing in the streets of Italy.
Surely enough, Hitler made his move and the flame of war was ignited. And after France was taken by the germans, Benito Mussolini thought that it was his chance to achieve his goals of capturing the countries that surround the mediterranean, and relive the glory of the Roman Empire. After their failed attempts at capturing Greece, the Italian forces were pushed back into Albania. Meanwhile the germans were in the midst of a huge sweep-and-clean series of operations. Success was the outcome of each and every one.
Mussolini did not back down as he wanted to prove to Hitler that he was a worthy ally. He thought of the crimes that were happening in Italy, and he wanted to know what it would be like if it were in his enemies' lands instead. Using his arsenal of spies, undercover agents, and police officers. He was able to round up almost 2000 of the most ruthless killers known to Italians. In just 6 days, these men, leading an army of one hundred thousand took 3 cities in each of Greece, Egypt and Libya.

Chapter 2: Filtration...
The end of World War II was not to Mussolini's likings. Drowning in rage, he sent what was left of his elite squad to exile on broken-down sailboats. Only the luckiest of them were able to reach the United States before dying in the waters of the great Atlantic. They kept to themselves, hiding their true identity from the American public. Little did they know, as the Americans knew exactly who they are. They hunted them down, killing almost all of them, and failing to capture just one single man. It was then that 48-year-old Luigi Valenti decided that it would not be the end of him, dying by the hands of the people he despised most. Living in the alleyways of Los Santos for not less than 3 years, he plotted his revenge... his revenge against the Americans. "They don't know what's coming to them.", he said to himself repeatedly... "I'll show them all!"

Chapter 3: United once more...
It was on a windy afternoon that Valenti walked into a bar and found it to be filled with Italians. Finally, he felt at home. He kept to himself at first, then a few visits later, he was well known to the bar's visitors as "Padre". Nobody knew his story, and they never asked him of it as they knew he was secretive, but each and every one of them would have chosen him over themselves...
At 52, Valenti found himself to be idolised by the Italian population in Los Santos. He found that to be his chance to finally get revenge on the Americans. On a stormy night, he round up the men at the bar, and told them his story, not leaving out a single detail on how he was tortured by the Americans before he was able to escape. He saw rage in the men's eyes, and asked them a very important question:"Will you be my aid in getting back at the Americans?!". Everyone knew their answer, and they didn't hesitate in letting Valenti know of their decision.

Chapter 4: The hot cold war...
The United States' involvement in the cold war during the 1950s and 1960s left the country in financial ruins, as a majority of the country's financial resources were invested into the war. This left their people hungry and homeless... The Valentis, growing strong and able with the aid of the Italians back home, took the chance by hiring helpless Americans to do their dirty work. A huge number of bank robberies, car thefts and murders, drew attention to the authorities. The Valentis were the leading force in Los Santos. Not even the police could handle their damages. And they certainly were not prepared for what happened next.

Chapter 5: The great fire of Los Santos...
The citizens of Los Santos woke up on the 16th of July, 1968 to the sound of police vehicles, paramedics and firetrucks heading towards Richman where a fire had started. Countless houses were burned down, and countless people were killed, injured and mamed. The damages reached a reported price tag of over 13 billion dollars. The Valentis stepped up to claim responsibility of the fire and made sure that their demands are met, as the state gave them more freedom than they would have hoped for, in return of not harming the population. But the Valentis knew there was something behind the withdrawal of police officers from infront of their bases of operation.

Chapter 6: The fall... (part II)
"You never know the value of something until it's taken away from you."
The Valentis over-estimated themselves, letting down their guard and leaving their backs uncovered. The police soon took the opportunity and orchestrated a flawless operation that ended in most of the Valentis behind bars. Their pubs were closed, their fronts exposed and their drug flow put to a halt. Luigi knew of the operation before-hand, as he had corrupt officers in every department working for him, but he was stopped short of escaping, on the borders between the United States and Mexico, the refuge of every man who happens to be wanted by the authorities. Being the most wanted man by the F.B.I., Luigi Valenti's fall triggered a spree of crime families being taken down ruthlessly by the LSPD, and every other department in the country. Still, Valenti was idolised by not only the Italians, but also the Americans who felt that the new laws that were passed were extremely restrictive.

Chapter 7: "What do we want?!"
"Free Valenti!": A shout often repeated by the citizens of San Andreas, in front of police departments, city halls, and during political events. Valenti heard the news and found himself to be the new cult of personality for the citizens. His sentece of 20 years was cut down to 10 after numerous riots. He was let go at the age of 64 and greeted by his family, which consisted of the entire Los Santos population.

Chapter 8: One last car trip...
"VALENTI KILLED IN CAR EXPLOSION - POLICE INVESTIGATE"
You'd think this was a title that's out of the question for a man like Luigi. But everyone knew that with all the love he got, he boiled up some hate from the opposing families. On a friday afternoon, eighteen years after his release, while he was being driven towards the Prickle Pine golf course, his car was pulled up behind a red light when it blew up, with him, his chauffeur and his right-hand man in it. People said it was one of the other families behind the operation, some said it was a plot by the mayor, and others felt that it was an inside job. He left behind him a fortune, a million broken hearts, and a son. A son named Drawn.

Chapter 9: A SON?!
No one had heard of Luigi's son. Drawn himself didn't even know he was his son. His mother, Carolina, was instructed by Luigi to take Drawn away, as he did not want him to be part of the Valenti operation at a young age. At 30 years old, he decided he would take over the family, caring for its elders, and advising its youth. He was greeted by the family members with open arms and open hearts. He soon replaced his father, being described as a "young Luigi". He continues to reside in Los Santos in the present day, seeking revenge for his father's murder.
