Arriving in New York, his first view of the American lifestyle was glorious. Unfortunately his vision would soon be shattered. Making his way to Gotham he found himself quickly engaged in gang life.
On the streets Cross learned to take care of himself. Essential to him was lockpicking, and fighting for survival. All of this was turned around during one time when he and a bunch of his friends snuck into a local church. Trying to pilfer the meager tithes donated by the mostly Italian congregation they were caught by the priest. All of the other children managed to escape save Cross. It turned out to be a changing point in his life.
Father De Lena took Cross under his wing, eventually treating him as his own son. Eventually, when Cross married the daugther of an Italian grocer who came to the church, Father De Lena was hear saying 'at least I won't die without seeing any grandchildren'.
Cross, using his meager savings, bought two things: A house in the Narrows, and a revolver. Finding work at the polluted, dirty quayside, Cross now works as a manual labourer. Although his primary duty is lifting and stacking crates, he has also developed an aptitude for mechanics.
Because of his natural fighting ability, whenever amateur fights are organized, usually between the Italian and Irish dockworkers, Cross is selected to represent the Italians.
8) Character Physical Description:
Lean and tough, Cross has olive-coloured skin and green eyes. He has dark curly hair which is often under a cap.
9) Character Reputation:
Known as a quiet, honest man, many on the docks have come to respect Cross. Though he only speaks when needed too, his peronality has attracted many. Most now look to him as their leader, rather than the corrupt union leaders.

Based on the guy from the book Mafia? The first name comes from Mario Puzo's 'The Last Don', the last name is just a random Sicilian name I found. But other than that, this guy is an original creation.

I liked it, especially that line by Pippi, when he gets shot.
"You fucking Santadio."
Even though it didn't show who shot him, for some reason it just clicked, and I figured out who the Santadio was.
