Luca Ricci (Gerosha Gaming Universe)

In spite his prowess with organization, Luca Ricci wasn't allowed to rise the ranks of the Saraceno family. Being reduced to little more in New York than guns for hire for the Lucchese family, the don decided that moving their operation away westward was a good way to get out from underneath the Luchhese.

However, Luca in particular soon ran into trouble when remnants of the Purple Gang decided that they weren't going to let him muscle in. A Marlquaan storm hit in 1946, with Luca being one of the only directly affected by it. He became an ice and snow elemental Marlquaanite, able to assume a snowman-like form. In spite this, he seemed to be able to tolerate heat surprisingly well.

Hiding as a snowman for a short while in a small town in Minnesota caused him a lot of stress. Friction with some military personnel later on finally drove him over the edge. He acquired an M16 rifle, and went on a rampage in a small town. Always, he felt unappreciated. But couldn't shake himself of his need to be a gangster.

Some time later, he encountered Krampus. It wasn't long before Luca rose up the ranks, becoming the viceroy of Nordreichdun. He became very loyal to his new boss, who gave him a true sense of purpose in life. He governed over Nordreichdun during the half of the year that the boss was required to slumber. He did, however, use his new power and position to take revenge on the most vile of the rival gangsters he'd previously received trouble from.
