All true. And it makes sense, with him being in the Outfit and all. Though I took the boater's tan description at face value. Sort of a part of the mask that Marcone wears. And his name doesn't really...Have you read Even Hand? Or know the spoilers for it? I don't want to say something a spoil it for you if you haven't.
I fukken love EH, and yeah, I know it's not his real name. But it's one he chose...
I acknowledge it's possible that Marcone isn't Italian or Catholic, but I'm going to go with that until canon says otherwise. I've got no problem with other portraying him differently. This is a fandom with a looooooot of good fanon, particularly with him and Harry.
Even Hand is my favorite short story, ever, in DF. Marcone. Fucking Marcone. Being awesome. There was not enough of that in Aftermath.
I agree. Chances are good that he's both Italian and Catholic. And in fanon, there's room for everything anyway!
I just like playing with the idea that Marcone went under into the mob from like...the CIA or something and got too deep and turned and decided that the only way to control the violence was from the top on the inside and so everything, even his assumed ethnicity was a manufactured lie...but I like conspiracies...
Hey, the only reason I went for FBI is because they've shown up in the series a bunch of times already.
I have this image of Harry finding out that Marcone's real name isn't Marcone, and demanding to know what kind of person joins the mob under a false name and Hendricks facepalming.
And as the anon above you pointed out, the FBI works inside the US more so than the CIA. So FBI really does seem to be the best choice. :D
Hah! Too funny!
I suspect Hendricks spends a lot of his time facepalming at Harry and Marcone behind their backs. In fact, he's probably considering getting a second doctorate in psychology and using the two of them for his thesis. Because they provide so much material.
