- "One brother a leader. Another a brute. The third: a runt. A forgotten man, forever in the shadow of his siblings. Sal Marcano has the brains. Lou has the brawn. And Lucio? The ability to follow, to obey and to never ask questions. Today the Marcano family voraciously eats into territory left in the wake of the deceased mobster Giuseppe Carillo. The help of his brothers will see Lucio go far, but perhaps not far enough."

History[]
Lucio Marcano was Sal Marcano's brother and a capo in the Marcano Crime Family.
Born as the son of Valerio Marcano, a low-level and disgraced member of the Carillo Crime Family, Lucio lived with his father and brothers in a shed in River Row growing up, into young adulthood. Sometime in the early 1930s during prohibition, Lucio was arrested along with his brothers Sal and Lou, and sent to Louisiana State Penitentiary at Cordoba for a series of robberies and crimes the Marcano brothers committed around New Bordeaux, while their youngest brother Tommy was still in elementary school.
In 1934, Sal had his own father killed and blamed Giuseppe Carillo for the hit, convincing Lucio, Lou and their underlings to declare war on Carillo. That same year, while Carillo was dining at a popular Italian restaurant in the French Ward, the Marcano brothers and their crew ambushed Carillo and shot the place up with Tommy Guns, killing Giuseppe Carillo and 18 of his men and guests.
After Carillo's murder, the Marcano family took over New Bordeaux. Lucio helped his brother Lou organize prostitution rackets around the city, building up some high-class and rich clientele in Frisco Fields. In the process, he ended up meeting and dating Olivia Grady, a young rich Irish-Italian woman and local socialite. Despite her parents despising Lucio due to him being a pimp and a pusher, he married her in 1949.
After that, Lucio got Olivia involved in the Marcano family businesses, and would often take her with him to businesses involving fast cars, automatic weapons, as well as recreational drug use. However, in 1962, Lucio was found dead with his throat slit, allegedly by a rival pimp and his crew. However, it is said that Olivia hired some men to kill her husband so she could take over his operations and become a caporegime. In a dossier on Olivia, John Donovan suspects the latter to be the real reason behind Lucio's demise.
