[attr="class","questh"]OVERVIEW
History of the Narcisse.[break][break]
The Narcisse family is a widespread crime family based in Delphi. Their operations vary in business and intensity, but their goal is quite simple: money and silent power. They have no particularly strong political leaning, and the violence between rival families right now have lulled to a relative calm before the storm.[break][break]
Current Narcisse dealings are very corporate, as they are ultimately a Sybaris company. Not all members are witches, but make up the majority. All Narcisse follow a set of non-negotiable rules, known as Notre Chemin.[break][break]
[attr="class","questh"]THE STRUCTURE
The Narcisse operate mainly in a top-down hierarchy, with the majority of members assigned in one or two operations based on their aptitude and potential.[break][break]
Le Caïd: The Kingpin. The absolute head of the Narcisse family, he or she has the final say of the major decision-making and disputes. The money made by the family ultimately falls into the Caïd's hands. There is an expectation that the leader protects and takes care of their people. The role is taken by
Henri Narcisse . [break][break]
Le Conseiller: The Advisor. A unique role within the family, the Conseiller has no particular place in the hierarchy. They are meant to give advice in an impartial, rational and logical manner, free from personal feelings and vendettas. Though it's not always the case in reality.
Open.[break][break]
Parrain: Godfather. Also known as the underboss. Only a handful of them exist in the family and the amount of power each boss varies depending on circumstances. They oversee several operations and territories, and answer directly to the Caïd. Parrain are expected to be able resolve conflicts on their own. Some are also groomed to take the place of the Caïd if they are old or at risk of imprisonment. The role is taken by
Thea Phoenix and is
open to 1-2 more characters.[break][break]
Spécialiste: Specialist. The main bulk of "management" in the family. They are generally assigned specific operations to manage and answer to their Parrain. Spécialiste are expected to be leaders to their subordinates and be able to make the family money. The role is
open to several characters. Player-run spécialiste:[break]

Beaux Voyous: Goodfellows. The foot soldiers. The grunt men. Beaux Voyous are the lowest ranking in the family and do the dirty work for their Spécialiste and Parrain. They are a part of the family, but don't hold much power, and only make as much money their bosses allow them. The role is
open and is mostly inundated with nameless npcs. Player-run beaux voyous:[break]
[break]
La Chérie: The Darling. The proverbial mascot within the Narcisse, looking upon their face will ease weary souls and calm down the stresses due to work. Generally a very kind person, seeming far too innocent for the comings and goings of a crime family.
Open.[break][break]
Associés: Associate. Those who aren't members of the Narcisse, but they work with the family in various operations. They can range from petty thieves and drug dealers to lawyers and politicians. [break][break]
[attr="class","questh"]GETTING IN
There are several ways to create ties with the Narcisse. The easiest way is to be
introduced by someone from the family or an associés. If this is not possible, then creating rapport with the employees at the restaurant
Genevieve is doable, albeit more difficult. Expect to be looked into thoroughly to ensure background is clear for the Narcisse.[break][break]
Current and prospective members of the Narcisse must be Sybaris witches or humans. Witches from other covens who wish to work with the Narcisse can only be considered as Associés.[break][break]
The Induction: After an invitation, the prospect finds themselves surrounded by other Narcisse members. Initiation is rather straightforward, where they draw blood onto Mother Sona's picture and destroy it with their own magic. Some initiations require ███ ███████████ ██ ████ ████ ██ ████ ████ ██████████ █████ ███ ███████████ ██ █████ ██ ██ ██████ █ ████████ ████ ███ ██████.[break][break]
Jonquil Holdings: The public facing Sybarite company for the Narcisse. They hold all or majority stake in their legal and illegal subsidiaries. The mix is intentional, made to muddle intentions and prevent the authorities from pinpointing illegal activity. Characters can work for Jonquil Holdings and their subsidiaries
legally and with ignorance to their mafia dealings.[break][break]
[attr="class","questh"]Notre Chemen: Our Way
- Becoming Narcisse means you vow a life of secrecy. Do not speak of activities to anyone outside of the family. Protect yourselves and the family from the law.
- You cannot directly contact another Narcisse's friends--you must be introduced.
- You are a person of honour and respect. Friends' significant others are off-limits.
- The Church of Her Mercy is off-limits. You go there with no ill-intent in mind.
- Always be on time for appointments.
- Do not be seen with or befriending police.
- Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. Show courage and heart. Do not whine or complain in the face of adversity, including punishment.
- Have class. Be independent. Be worldly.
