The Morellis are a Mafia family operating in Boston, UCAS, where they share their turf with the O'Rilleys and the Muldoons.
The Morellis used to be the ruling family in Boston but have since been superseded by the O'Rilleys. As the O'Rilleys have the full support of the Muldoons the Morellis have no possibility of changing the status quo. The family opposes the progressive policies of the O'Rilley family when it comes to metahumans.[1][2][3]
At the start of the Lockdown, Don Anthony "fat Tony" Morelli made a move against Don O'Rilley, attempting to go after Don O'Rilley's shipping, gambling, and protection operations in town. However, this move failed due to timing; the epidemic of Ragers started at that time, and his forces were devastated. O'Rilley put a price on Morelli's capture, and soon he was brought to Don O'Rilley. Don O'Rilley let him go, and gave him the territory between the O'Rilleys and the Yakuza.[4]
It is rumored that the Morellis are conducting secret meetings with two groups in Boston which are opposed to the O'Rilleys and are also against metahumans. They have been talking to the ant-elf terrorist organization, the Knights of the Red Branch. The family has also been in meetings with the Yakuza. It's unknown as to the purpose of the meetings, but it's suspected the Morelli are looking to betray the O'Rilleys.[5][6]
