The Rizzuto Family is an Italian crime syndicate in the city of Montreal in the Republic of Québec.
The Rizzutos are the dominant Mafia family in Montreal. It has been around since before World War 2 and at the turn of the 20th century formed "The Consortium" with the Irish West End gang and the biker gangs, creating a crime cartel to divide up the drug business in Montreal. Which collapse at the beginning of the Sixth Age with the fragmentation of Canada and the United States. The biker gangs took over the city's drug trade, after a bloody war with the Italians and Irish.
Forced to retreat to lick their wounds and consolidate, the need to survive forced the two crime families to merge in the 2010s. At first the leadership of the two clans shared power, but it wasn't going to last. After several assassinations, it was the Italians who emerged victorious in 2020 and in control of the syndicate. They have kept a low profile since and have stayed away from both the chip and drug rackets, leaving those in the hands of the bikers. It is into white-collar crime, extortion, racketeering, robberies, and kidnapping. They also control the construction industry and nothing gets built in the city without their involvement, which has resulted in a crumbling infrastructure and millions for the Mafia. It has embolden the family and they are beginning to take territory back from the bikers.[1]
