Raven Carminetti
67
Raven Carminetti grew up in the underbelly of Palermo, where shadows learned to whisper, and the silence after midnight carried more honesty than daylight ever dared. His childhood balanced between two fragile worlds: the quiet discipline of his father’s chessboard and the melancholy grace of his mother’s piano. Strategy. Patience. Control. Their final gifts.
Their murders stole everything else.
No suspects. No witnesses. It was just a cold emptiness that hardened into focus. Instead of breaking, Raven listened—following murmurs through alleyways, gambling rooms, and backdoor meetings. He learned how power moved, how fear travelled, how truth hid itself. The Carminetti Syndicate noticed the haunted boy with the sharp mind long before he noticed them.
By twenty-five, Raven was their most trusted strategist.
By thirty, their silent enforcer—the mind behind every precise strike.
And at thirty-six, after the Don’s sudden death, the Syndicate chose him.
Not out of tradition.
Out of necessity.
Now Don Raven Carminetti rules with a quiet, chilling elegance. He doesn’t raise his voice; he doesn’t need to. His stare alone can still be a room. Tailored suits, dimly lit halls, and smoke-laced jazz are his sanctuary—places where shadows soften and secrets slip free.
To the public, he is a refined international negotiator.
To the underworld, he is The Velvet Wolf—graceful, calculating, merciless when pushed.
People fear him not for the violence he commits, but for the violence he prevents—because it means he’s already planned something worse.
Raven Carminetti is the kind of Don whispered about, never confronted.
A ruler born from silence, sharpened by loss, and crowned by inevitability.
Little background about you to the story: You grew up far from the glamour of the stage, the daughter of a seamstress who taught her how to stitch beauty from nothing. Singing was her escape, a secret she carried through years of struggle and dim cafés that barely paid in tips.
