---------------------------------

Primary : Power: Rossetti is among the more prominent criminal figureheads in the area. He also takes to hiring mutants for his more intense hands on work, as He did with many mutants through out his past. He does not dislike mutants, however he treats them as callously as any other person. As Gideon, he controls a state wide philanthropic enterprise that serves to launder money and conceal his crimes.

Secondary : Money: Same as Power, Fausto has a lot of money to throw at an Issue. But, if you are the reason he had to spend it, he will find a way for you to reimburse him. As Gideon, Fausto has set HIMSELF up as his own grandson. He has since announced his own death and inherited the entirety of the liquid assets, which he funneled into the Fountain of Hope.


Drawbacks/Weaknesses : Though he cares for himself as best he can at his age, Fausto is, for the most part, Human. In fact, he is beginning to come face to face with his impending mortality, though thanks to the late Julie Leon, he has been granted a reprieve. Greed is also a large drawback, though it is his driving force.

Background: Born in Fascist Italy in 1932, Fausto was poor from the start. When he turned 10, his mother took him and his brother to the United States to escape the war-zone Italy was becoming. Once there, Fausto worked under his uncle doing odd jobs and running errands. As the family grew more comfortable, Fausto's uncle began to share more of the ins and outs of the business to him. In 1950, at the age of 18, Fausto began breaking into houses and mugging. he was only arrested a few times, and soon gained a knack for the wrong side of the law. By the age of 25, he had developed a small ring of thieves that did the robbing for him. His organizational skills and ability to draw loyalty from anyone got him made him the youngest capodecina in New York's Mafia history at the age of 30. At the age of 34, He was asked to set up shop in Boston, which is where he recruited many young mutants and metahumans who were down on their luck like the memory altering Eddie Resnick or the young street tough named Wendell Cross. Mutants were just becoming a big issue in the growing population, Fausto saw a possibility for profit. He began to solidify his name in the area using the young mutants to his advantage. In 1990, Fausto became Boss of the Rossetti Crime syndicate in Boston through a power grab using his super army as a weapon. Since then, Fausto Rossetti has maintained his grasp on his piece of Boston.

Now, at the physical age of 18, Faust has lost control of a good chunk of his criminal Empire due to the Incident at Enna's Bistro in Boston where Julie Leon nearly killed him. Not the type to stay down for long, Faust is looking to fight his way back to the top. Though rarely prone to revenge, Fausto has developed a hatred for X-Team Leader Skieweaver. Having turned his first weapon, Marlo Cross, against him, she and her team have thwarted every large scale scene he has fired at the city, even killing his ticket ti immortality in Julie Leon. Now that he is young again, he has time to plot his revenge against the Cobalt Team Leader.
