Silent Zorro: Zorro started out early in life lifting purses to survive but he met Don Guapo and moved on to bigger things. While spending five years in the cage for a purse robbery, Zorro was shot in the head by a cockatoo, Zorro became silent. Quiet he may be but he carries a big beak and a dangerous bite. He lives for revenge. The only place the Don and Zorro clash is over the Deadly Diego Rose.
Don Guapo: This elusive kingpin mobster carries an air of mystery beneath his wings.Don Guapo’s origin is unknown. Crime experts can’t get a read on his trueage. This is attributed to his numerous aliases. On May 17, 2003, the mysterious Nanday Conure landed on the doorstep of C. (name changed to protect the innocent). She asked no questions and he gave no answers. Don Guapo conducts all “business” from the big colorful swing. He is proficient in pooping on computer chairs, screechy languages, wood chewing, martial arts, seed slinging weaponry and toy extortion. He also has a way with the ladies (just ask Deadly Diego). His loyal cohorts are Silent Zorro, Deadly Diego, Fenix the Face, Dashing Dudley, Piki the Pickpocket and Pretty Paco
Deadly Diego: Deadly Diego Rose is her name. From a dubious beginning she lived on the outside. Never knowing the love of a family. She got her deadly skills from living on the street. She is now a hitlady for the notorious Nanday Mafia. The Caiques know her name and use it as a curse.Her affections are torn between the Don and Zorro who rescued her from the streets. Little does she know how much she comes between them. Diego Rose and Pretty Paco keep the boys in line.

Pretty Paco: I came from the South part of the "Big City" of Kansas City. This is where the famous train station (Union Staion) is located. The mob has always been a prominent part of the "Big City". On June 17th 1933 four law enforcement officers were killed in a hail of machine gun fire in front of Union Station while they were transporting a major mob bank robber to Leavenworth KS. The bank robber was killed in friendly fire. This is one of the most celebrated crimes in U.S. history and was the cause of J. Edgar Hoover to launch the FBI. One of the shooters at the Union Station that early morning in June was Pretty Boy Floyd and that is who I am named after. I am a descendant of this mobster family and I have been very unruly and wild since I was a child. I have spent the biggest part of my life behind bars. I am getting a little older now and trying to settle down and be a lady luck so I just hang around the big cage with my other old time ganster friends. Once and a while the I still get the urge to do something mean and unruly but this is just because I have that cold mob blood running through my veins. Fenix The Face:
Fenix migrated to the Big Easy, New Orleans, from a burg in Texas known as Houston.
He came in search of fame, riches, and a pretty woman. He got the pretty woman.
A cute little Cajun girl, brightly colored as the sun, and goes by the name of Jimi.
Well, Jimi is said to have champagne tastes and Fenix would do anything to please his lady.
He got greedy and went for the quick buck mixing with the original Mafia family leading to bad news for Fenix. He lives behind bars and gets time out on the gym. He sees himself as a handsome dude and uses charm to pull off his capers. He has been known to break into the home of his neighbors, bathing in their bathtubs, raiding their kitchen, taking only the tastiest of morsels. He is a talented snitch, sounding the alarm whenever anyone enters his hood. He fancies a life as an entertainer, but frankly hasn't got the voice.
As a dancer he does all right and it is his other weakness aside from Jimi. Fenix disarms his enemies (the caiques) and the paparazzi by leaning into their personal space to intimidate.
This is how he came to be known as Fenix the Face. His biggest fear is falling to the same fate as some of the original Mafia members in one of the most notorious crimes of the 19th Century.
New Orleans was the site of this first Mafia incident in the United States. Sicilians murderers evicted from Italy entered The US at the Port of New Orleans. On October 15, 1890, New Orleans Police Superintendent David Hennessey was murdered execution-style. 19 Sicilians were indicted for the murder. An acquittal followed with rumors of bribed and intimidated witnesses. The outraged citizens of New Orleans organized a lynch mob and proceeded to kill eleven of the nineteen defendants. Two were hanged, nine were shot, and the remaining eight escaped. Fenix dreams of escape so that he may some day become as famous as Carlos "Little Man" Marcello, an infamous Mafia boss from a little New Orleans neighborhood just down the street from where Fenix lives behind his bars. Marcello started out as a small-time hood. By the 1940's, he was in the big business working for New York ganster Frank Costello in the slot machine racket. (This is one of the attractions for Fenix, shiny, noisy toys that spit out coins for the taking). Marcello became head of the local Louisiana crime family ( Fenix secretly dreams of overthrowing Don Guapo).Marcello was said to have organized murders such as the Kennedy assassination. Marcello swore that he was nothing more than a humble tomato salesman employed by the Pelican Tomato Company... although he did own a little property which was estimated to be worth $30-$40 million. Marcello died in his sleep in 1993 at the age of 83. Many called it the end of the “Godfather” era. Fenix plots to become the Nanday Godfather.
