The '''Salvatores''' are a [[Fallout 2 factions|faction]] in [[New Reno]] in [[Timeline#2241|2241]].
The '''Salvatores''', the third most powerful family in [[New Reno]], are involved in confidential dealings with the [[Enclave]], and own [[Salvatore's Bar]]. They are headed by [[Louis Salvatore]], who has severe respiratory problems. He is carefully guarded by [[Mason]], his right hand man. His family also have a great deal of connections outside of New Reno as explained by the head of the Wrights should the [[Chosen One]] put an end to the crime family

==History==
Their trade agreement with the Enclave involves the family supplying the Enclave with drugs and slaves in return for powerful energy weapons, primarily [[Laser pistol (Fallout)|laser pistol]]s. These transactions take place well outside the city to ensure their secrecy. They also control [[Renesco]] the Rocketman. According to the [[Chosen One]]'s conjectures, they have attempted to fuel a war between the [[Wrights]] and the [[Mordinos]]. They used Renesco to poison a dose of [[Jet (Fallout 2)|Jet]], which was given to [[Richard Wright]], hoping that the Wrights would blame the Mordinos, the suppliers of Jet. This would leave only the [[Bishops]] left for the Salvatores to eliminate.

In ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', the Salvatores are the only crime family of New Reno that is not mentioned in the game, so it is implied that they were wiped out sometime in [[Timeline#2241|2241]] by the [[Chosen One]], or during the crime families various conflicts in New Reno after the events of ''[[Fallout 2]]''.

We Salvatores...we will rule New Reno. If a child must die to ensure that, it will be...done. There is no other reason.Louis Salvatore

The Salvatores are a faction in New Reno in 2241.

History

A quiet crime family mostly operating in the West Side of New Reno, the Salvatores operate under the sole leadership of Louis Salvatore, a venerable fossil of a gangster. The family maintains a low profile, building up their forces and developing their influence and wealth, before brutally asserting their presence with laser pistols in early 2241.[1][2]

Two of Salvatore's men executed a group of rival thugs belonging to the Bishops and Mordinos, the latter of which tried to encroach on their territory in the West Side. The shock of losing men to superior armaments resulted in the families giving them a wide berth.[3]

It is not revealed what ultimate fate befell the Salvatores after the major events of Fallout 2.

Outside relations

The Salvatores mostly keep to themselves, the other families giving them a wide berth ever since the West Side massacre.[3] They are very protective of their secrets and tend to kill people asking questions, especially if they concern their laser weapons.[4] Of course, the list of "crimes" warranting death is much longer and includes insulting the family, such as through cheating at cards.[5][6]

Despite their relatively recluse, and mysterious presence, they are not shying away from conflict. Rather than direct, high-profile brute force, they utilize subterfuge and racketeering protection services. Louis Salvatore ordered Richard Wright to be poisoned with tainted jet, knowing that the Wrights will likely blame the Mordinos for the killing. This would lead to war between the two families, weakening them and allowing the Salvatores to seize control of New Reno.[7][8][9]

The most secretive and important partner of the crime family is most definitely the Enclave, who traded them laser weaponry in exchange for critical chemical components required to develop and manufacture their FEV Curling-13 project.[10][11]

Appearances

The Salvatores appear only in Fallout 2.

Behind the scenes

Cartucci was the old name for the Salvatores in New Reno. There was supposed to be a movie of them dealing with the Enclave.Chris Avellone, Fallout Bible 8
