The Sarcidano Family

The Sarcidano Crime Syndicate (also the Sarcidano Family) is an organized crime syndicate that practices protection racketeering, black market trafficking, fraud, counterfeiting, and other violent crimes. They are based out of Manehattan, but have smaller operations in Fillydelphia and Baltimare as well. They are the oldest, largest, and most powerful criminal organization in Equestria.

The Sarcidanos
Although the family name applies to any member affiliated with the group, there are only three ponies actually related to the old Sarcidano bloodline. These ponies are the highest ranking in the organization, and are also the heads of the three factions within the syndicate.

Adamo Sarcidano
Adamo Sarcidano was the acting bookkeeper and face of the Sarcidano Crime Syndicate. He was responsible for keeping track of the syndicate's business dealings and finances. Adamo personally oversaw each and every transfer of funds from offshore accounts established in the family's name in Re'em and Itaily. He is often referred to as the unofficial leader of the Sarcidano Syndicate and the brains of the operation.

Adamo was a personal friend of Dandridge Clydesdale and often brought him supplies and provided discreet transportation of Dandridge's own products while Dandridge bought him potential buyers and perspective business partners. Dandridge also provided Adamo with vital information regarding shifts in Congress or proposed raids on the family by the Department of Defense.

Adamo Sarcidano took his own life after being confronted and surrounded by the Manehattan Police Department and the Royal Investigative Service.

Angelo Sarcidano
Angelo Sarcidano is the pony in charge of the syndicate's "soldiers" and armed guards under the employ of the family. He is a former Royal Guard and often employs his military training in his brutal command of the streets. He was dishonorably discharged after an altercation with his commanding officer that resulted in violence.

Although not involved in any of the family's actual business, Angelo is considered by the Manehattan PD to be the most dangerous of the brothers. His short temper has led to numerous shootouts against the cops and ruthless extermination of opposing gangs. After his brother's arrest, Angelo turned the focus of the syndicate to getting revenge against the Manehattan PD, beginning a period of bloody war against the law enforcement agencies.

Angelo is the last surviving free member of the Sarcidano family.

Incanto Sarcidano
Incanto Sarcidano is a member of the Sarcidano family and was the pony in charge of managing the syndicate's products and goods. He was responsible for safely housing all illicit and black markets goods the family held possession of, and for sending them to buyers and receiving them as they came through Manehattan. A pacifist by nature, Incanto remained relatively quiet in the family's affairs, dealing with their supply rather than the ponies like his brothers did.

Incanto was arrested during a raid on one of the family's warehouses by the Manehattan PD. He is currently serving a sixty year sentence for multiple conspiracies to distribute illegal goods, as well as possession of illegal substances, illegal firearms, and stolen goods.
