=== The new Don ===
The new Don Michael Yatela needed a new consigliere of his own. Having been part of the hit squad which resulted in the fall of Ciro VenenoVeleno's rule, seen as illegitimate, Vance Valaso was selected to be Michael's consigliere and right-hand man. The Don also declared that from hereon, the consigliere must be part of the family to ensure absolute trust and prevent a new Ciro from rising.
With his siblings as the bosses of each town under the Syndicate's control, Don Yatela's ruling style is sometimes euphemistically described as "family-oriented".
