Personality: A rather aggressive man that relies much on his underlings. His desire for money, power and women are the things he strives to always have more. He is a legitimate abuser of people and swindler, as well schemer. His inferiority though plays a role in his high aggression to failure that he will never admit, but blame on everyone.

History:
Steven was raised in the Italian part of New York. A rather rundown part that had his father a laundry man, and mother a part time music teacher. While they were happy, he saw one day a group of men put some pressure on his father’s business. The sight of his father, a man he respected forced to give in when threatened. He began to look at the organized crime racket. He started with offering gambling measures, and playing on the systems they controlled. As he progressed Steven worked into the higher world fast. Soon taking on a small branch of the business for a time.
As he took this over though he hungered for more. He was no simple minded guy. Learning from them the ropes of crime, he used society to learn the ropes of law. It was his gift, and he abused it every step. Steven loved his jobs both legal and illegal. After taking a firm from a long going legal man marked by the mafia. Steven used every resource he had to grow in power. To become a huge boss. Yet he’d never be good enough to make it to the big time. His hunger for more always consuming him.
Another ‘hunger’ he had was something strange. As a child he obsessed over a show. His obsession grew. When he wanted to have everything he could from it. Even based his criminal alter-ego and codenames for his men closest to him off his obsession. That being ‘The Smurfs’ and even now the desire to collect all that is Smurf takes him on crazy, unreal obsessive torrents of behavior.
Time passed and when something went wrong. Steven never, ever was happy. His cousin Vinny was sent on a hit. Where a family somehow oversaw it. Using his legal power and control of the police. Steven learned the name of the witnesses and had them ruthlessly murdered. Only because he figured, a slack-jaw lot of tourists were pretty useless. Might as well. His sources would later tell him however that there was a survivor, the father of the family. A single man he easily accepted as just some piss-ant that would bitch to the cops. However, what he learned was this man was anything but.
This man was Frank Castle…
