Case File 02 / Psychological Report
An Italian-American mob boss who brings vendetta to Birmingham as both family duty and performance, Luca Changretta turns revenge into ritual. His violence is theatrical because honor must be seen.
Luca's psychology is revenge refined into style. He does not simply want the Shelbys dead; he wants them diminished, frightened, and aware of his superiority. Clothes, manners, and ceremony are part of the violence because they establish hierarchy before bullets do.
His conflict is between code and strategy. Luca's vendetta gives him meaning but also slows him down. In real life he would be formidable in symbolic intimidation, yet vulnerable when pride makes efficient brutality feel insufficiently honorable.
