Paul Esposito was a man of his word, so when he told his father that he was going to be the boss one day, he meant it. Time passed and Paul found himself garnering the trust and respect of the men throughout Italy, and finally put his foot down to take over the reigns of the mafia from his ailing father [Redacted]. With many goals in mind to expand and nurture the family legacy, he kept the ultimate goal in mind always. The ultimate goal? Respect, but not just for him or for his blood, but for any who swore the oath to uphold the name of the family. Respect was not something requested, it was demanded. Under Paul's leadership the mafia was able to thrive. There was power, money, gratitude, respect, and the most important of all... family. Internal jobs were conducted with minimal loss, and each completion added to the circle of influence. Connections were quickly established with external organizations and the extended family was able to grow once worth was proven. What more was there for the mafia that had everything in Italy? Perhaps it was time to set it's sights elsewhere..
Informants were slowly scattered throughout the country in hopes of finding new locations. When that failed to yield results, they expanded throughout Europe, starting with France. France did not yield amazing results so the Mafia continued through to Germany, Norway, and even Spain. There would always be another country and another city to send associates to, and no place was out of reach for the family.
Jace Tribbiani believed this, and so much more so he set his sights even further. Considering the extremely successful cover operation that his parent's restaurant allowed, along with praise from his current mafia work, he knew a venture like this would make the family proud and so he aimed far across the ocean.
San Andreas
Arriving in San Andreas and relocation to Los Santos introduced Jace to The Marcello family, a group he found himself falling in line with while operating under Winston Marcello. Winston was once a very influential man in the city... until he suddenly wasn't, and following his disappearance to Italy, and no word from Paul when information was requested, the members of the family found themselves lying low. Jace decided he needed to part ways and reevaluate. Witnessing failed leadership and abandonment, doubt set in and it was decided to abandon his plan... For now. Thus Jace Tribbiani died and Jace Bianchi was born in an attempt to start anew and cut prior ties in the city.
The years that followed took Jace from working at the hospital, where he learned all he could about the medical field and heading up the Fire Rescue Division; to joining an organization under the successful leadership of Bruce Wong. It was very different from everything he knew, but there was a sense of comfort, promise, and a level of comradery that made it feel very similarly to home. Years after parting with the Mafia, Jace received a call from Paul Esposito, and returned home to Italy with haste. During his time back home, his confidence was restored and the true importance of family, blood or not, resurfaced and solidified.
Returning to Los Santos, Jace knew what needed to be done. For years he functioned under others. Some leadership impeccable and lessons priceless, while others were less than mediocre - but it was time for something else. Jace wanted something he could call his own and thus upon his return he brought his cousin, George Rossetti. Jace was tired of being in the shadow of others, or an off branch of something larger, but instead wanted something he could call his own. Work in the shadows like those who molded him trained to, he reached out to a few he could trust, including a long time friend Leah Lennox, and made an offer she couldn't resist.
