{{Lore}}

A ''caporegime'' is a senior member of the [[Yatela Crime Syndicate]]. The word comes from the [[Tal|Old Tongue]], constructed from the words '''''Kapi''''' (Chief, leader) and '''''Rezim''''' (Regiment, brigade). The constructed word '''''Kapirezim''''' would therefore mean "leader of a regiment" or "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigadier brigadier]"; it was then corrupted into the current form. It is unknown why the current pronunciation (''kah-po-ray-gee-may'') was chosen; rumors say that it was chosen over a more conventional one because it sounded more regal and impressive, and would therefore be more memorable.

The duties of a capo are largely the same as those of an [[enforcer]]; they simply manage their own gang or crew instead of a network of [[associate|associates]]. This does place them in command of trusted members of the Syndicate, and in turn, places a lot of responsibility on them. Capos are expected to run profitable businesses or operations on top of taking their enforcers' tributes, and are meant to be both the face of the organization and the most trusted commanders.

On average, capos are rarely younger than 40 years old, and more often than not are male. All have had years of experience working for the Syndicate, and many have scars and wounds to show for it. As leaders of their own crew, they effectively have no superiors at the local level and answer directly to the leadership of the Syndicate; namely, the Don and his entourage.
