Mama Lorenzo

Gabrielle Lorenzo, known as Mama Lorenzo or "the Madre" by those who follow her, is the leader of the Mob and rules it with an iron fist. She appears in Half Life and has influence later in the series. Malcolm is her personal sniper. Isabella is her favored niece.

"The Los Angeles Family had been fading into impotence before Gabrielle Lorenzo had married in and dragged the whole operation up by its bootstraps. She had reorganized organized crime until it reached a might that steamrolled any police effort to make the slightest dent. She ran a tight, clean operation, inspired devout loyalty, and came down with the wrath of God on anyone who put a toe on her turf."
