== Bio == Born in 665 in [[Garica Block]] to Attilio Yatela (WIPbrother of Don Arsenio), and an unknown mother, believed by the Police to be a retired stripper and escort. Valaso was raised almost entirely by his father as well as a large collection of what he came to call "uncles"; his mother disappeared under unknown circumstances in 668, leaving him with next to no memories of her. His father Attilio was an old but respected caporegime, primarily involved in the redlight business, as one of the people in charge of overseeing and protecting the ''Club 380'' strip club and its personnel. The "uncles" were, of course, other members of the Syndicate, who rapidly exposed Valaso to the realities of life in a town controlled by the Syndicate. He also occasionally received the visit of his cousins, the Yatela siblings, with whom he maintained positive relations. By the age of 20, he was involved in a weapon theft and fencing business in the Eastern Zone and was already wanted by the Police for [[Standard Law|grand thievery]]. In 690, both Don Arsenio and his brother Attilio were found dead, leaving the Don's consigliere, Ciro Veleno, to take over the Syndicate. Initially, this was supposed to be temporary; Michael Yatela, the Don's eldest son, was meant to be the successor. However, Veleno clung to the reins of power, becoming the Syndicate's new leader, for a time at least. Following the death of his father, Valaso was promoted to the rank of caporegime. He subsequently quit the fencing business and took over as Club 380's Syndicate member in charge, where he remained for three uneventful years. In 693, Valaso answered the call of his cousin, Michael Yatela, participating in his coup against Veleno. Together with Michael, his siblings, and several other associates and enforcers, Veleno participated in the assault on Greening, which resulted in the deaths of Veleno's entire security personnel. He stood by Michael's side when Veleno was publicly executed, witnessed his declaring to the Greening townspeople that he was the new Don, and was selected to be his new consigliere. Upon becoming the new consigliere of the Syndicate, Valaso moved out of Garica Block and ceased overseeing Club 380 operations so that he could focus full-time on assisting what he now affectionately calls "Cousin Don". == Personality == Valaso describes himself as a very family-oriented man, though he genuinely considers the Syndicate to be his extended family. He is known for his friendly and approachable demeanor, as well as his attitude to life, best described as "cautious but optimistic". Risk-averse, he prefers safe and reliable approaches to business, believing that big shows of violence and displays of power should be last resorts, not standard procedure. Although Valaso often states he dreams of finding the perfect wife and making many children, he was notorious for going through two to three different girlfriends per month. This continued until he became consigliere, at which point and under Michael's advice, he was asked to "stop fooling around". To this day, at the age of 39, he remains single - and particularly despises being reminded of it. Valaso admires his "Cousin Don" Michael, idolizing him as a hero. He is known for his rather luxurious taste, particularly when it comes to food. His favorite dish is reportedly giant tortoise steak, flame-broiled, and lightly salted. == Equipment and skills == === [[Clothing and armor]] === '''Human/Halfling [[List of human clothing and armor|clothing and armor]]:'''* Headgear: Fedora* Top: Armored tuxedo* Bottom: Armored tuxedo trousers* Footwear: Leather shoes === [[Load-bearing equipment]] === * [[Utility belts|Utility belt]]: Eagle battle belt === Equipment and inventory === Equipped [[weapons]]:* Eagle battle belt, Handgun holster: [[Beretta 93R]] (20+1 /20, 21x [[9x19mm Parabellum]], Standard FMJ) Inventory:* Eagle battle belt:** Ammunition 1: 2x [[Beretta 92 magazines|Beretta 92 20-round magazine]] (Each: 20 /20, 20x [[9x19mm Parabellum]], Standard FMJ)** Ammunition 2: 2x [[Beretta 92 magazines|Beretta 92 20-round magazine]] (Each: 20 /20, 20x [[9x19mm Parabellum]], Standard FMJ) === Stats and skills === This character is a [[human]].
