Faction Information
The Toronto Mafia is split into three different factions, two of which are controlled from outside the city. The two largest factions, the Commissos and the Violis, are fighting what looks like a trans-Atlantic proxy war for control of Toronto. The conflict between the Commissos and the Violis has led to a slow, steady weakening of both groups, giving the other syndicates (mostly the Triads) the opportunity to make gains. Many lower-level members of the Commissos and Violis are getting fed up with what they consider pointless political infighting, and a few have begun to rally together to push for unification and independence from outside control.
The largest of the Mafia factions in Toronto is run by Francesco "Frankie C" Commisso of the Commisso ’ndrina, a branch of the ’Ndrangheta based in Siderno. Commisso controls most of the Mafia’s smuggling operations between the GTA and the rest of the UCAS, especially the drug trade. He also oversees protection rackets in (Italian neighborhoods) in the suburban areas of the GTA, particularly in his home territory of Markham, where the "Siderno Group" bases its operations out of an Italian supermarket.

Background
The last few years have been rough on the Commisso ’ndrina. Frankie C got himself into trouble in the mid-2070s, when he decided he wanted a piece of the corporate revitalization nuyen flowing into Montreal, thinking that the local Cosa Nostra would be too busy fighting Montreal’s powerful biker gangs to put up an effective resistance. Unfortunately for Commisso, the Rossi Family was just as entrenched in their home city as Commisso was in his, and the conflict quickly devolved into a stalemate. To make matters worse, the Red Dragon Triad in Montreal quickly alerted their allies in Toronto to Commisso’s attempts, which let the White Lotus (more on them below) attack the Commisso ’ndrina while the Commissos were busy with their ill-conceived expansion attempt. Frankie C has since changed tactics, looking for allies based in Montreal instead of trying to establish his own power base there, but his ’Ndrangheta bosses aren’t happy with his lack of results.
