Tony 'Joe' Accardo

Al Capone's bodyguard who ends up taking over Capone's organization, Tony "Joe" Accardo becomes America's most successful gangster, able to keep his name out of the papers and himself out of prison. On the surface, he looks like just another meathead enforcer with no brain. But in reality, he's constantly assessing the situation and his book smarts are equal to his street smarts. He's tough, easy to anger, assertive, and ruthless. This generates fear in his underlings and his enemies, though his men called him fair and calculated. While smart, he also knows when to look for advice from his top level advisors. But despite all this, he feels people constantly underestimate him, so he's always happy to prove himself through his actions.
