   Lupos have the traits of wolves (Canis lupus). Their lupine traits can be noticed such as their pricked ears and bushy tails. They are one of the three races separated from the Perros due to cultural and biological differences along with the Vulpos and Reprobas. On the outside, they appear almost identical to a Perro, but they are also the easiest to be recognized through their unique culture, as well as having a generally coarse and hard hair in comparison.

   Entry settings

   Siracusa, formally known as the Confederate City-States of Siracusa or the Siracusan Confederation for short, is a Terran country bordering Kazdel, Laterano, and Leithanien. Home of many Lupos and Vulpos, Siracusa is a confederation of twenty-two autonomous city-states under the effective control of twelve mafia families, the Dodici Famiglie, with a unified leadership of a powerful Capo dei capi.

   The Siracusan mafia could be traced back to the classical era when Siracusa was a confederation of manors until its annexation by Leithanien as its tenth autonomous Kreis. The modern nation-state of Siracusa was founded following its independence from Leithanien, but the nation quickly fell into decades of anarchy marked with open conflicts among the famiglie until the current Capo of the mafia, Signora Sicilia, unified them under a common law that regulates their activities and limits their political power.

   Despite its lawlessness, Siracusa possesses a rich culture, many of which are foreign influences. The Siracusan cuisine is praised for its uniqueness and delicacy; the Church of Laterano possesses a strong influence on the Siracusan faith; its legal system is based on Columbian judiciary introduced by the Columbian famiglie; due to its Leithanian root, opera is beloved among the Siracusans from common folks to the nobilities.

3. #3The Famiglia era

   The tradition of the mafia could be traced back to the ancient days when Siracusa was an underdeveloped, barren region. According to the founding myth, the tradition's origin could be traced back to the six children of the "She-Wolf," the leader of the Sette Colli tribe. Even though they were related by blood, her children often fought against each other over food and land. As they grew up to adulthood, they started to found their own tribes, worsening their relationship. Saddened by her children's bloody feud, the She-Wolf chose to "ascend into a moon's shadow."

   The ascension of the She-Wolf prompted the tribe to make peace with each other. They reorganized their respective tribes into "families," sometimes known by the term famiglia, and divided six of the seven hills equally to each other with the seventh, the Sette Colli City, dedicated to the She-Wolf's memory. Since then, the six Families are able to coexist in peace for centuries to come, leading to their expansion into the current Dodici Famiglie.

   Modern anthropologists suggest that the origin of the Siracusan mafia was likely the result of their direct conflict with the legendary "Signori dei Lupi" and their existing lupine beastkins roaming in the wilderness. These ferocious "beasts" and apex predators forced humans to band together to form the earliest tribes of Siracusa, and social dynamics within the tribes allowed them to develop a strong sense of hierarchy surrounding the famiglie, a status previously held by the famiglie's family members. For centuries, political negotiations and violent conflicts among the famiglie were a norm of the Siracusan tribal society, as constant threats such as famines led to disputes for resources.

4. #4Autonomous Kreis of Siracusa

   At the dawn of civilization, the threat of the Teekaz expanded eastward and threatened both the Leithanians and the Siracusans. In order to expel their common enemies, the Siracusans swore their allegiance to the nine tribes of Leithanien through negotiation, and the agreement led to the drafting of the Güldenesgesatz. For the remaining millennium, Siracusa became a district of Leithanien under political autonomy of the famiglie.

   For a long period of time, the Kreis of Siracusa was treated unequally by the remaining nine Kreise both politically and socially. Despite being granted strong autonomy, the Kreis of Siracusa was forbidden to elect their own Kurfürst or Kaiser. Even though the Siracusans slowly adapted to modern civilization and integrated to Leithanian culture, they were still perceived as primitive barbarians who did not weld musical instruments but swords and butchered trophies. Most importantly, Leithanien treated Siracusa as mere a frontline barrage against the Sarkaz, and they had been neglecting the Siracusans' suffering and distancing themselves from their political affairs.

   The grand crusade of Kazdel in the year 898 prompted the Siracusans to rebel against Leithanien as Leithanien suffered heavy casualties from the campaign. Calls for independence became louder in Siracusa throughout the remaining century. The climax reached in the year 967 when several large famiglie deemed Siracusa's independence from Leithanien was inevitable. It began with a public demonstration at Montelupe's capital square. As a sign of its declaration of independence, the Leithanian flag and the tenth copy of the Güldenesgesatz stored in Siracusa were torn apart by a nameless, mentally-ill scavenger captured by a lumberjack. Despite the scavenger's odd-looking appearance resembling a lupine Beastkin, he was seen as the legendary Wolf-man who lived with the wolves and was praised by the public as a symbol of wilderness and a call of bloodline, though this scavenger no longer appeared in later history after the demonstration

   The demonstration was seen as a provocation against Leithanian sovereignty, so the Kurfürsten dispatched troops to crush the separatists. To their demise, a larger-scale civil war quickly broke out that dragged the remaining nine Kreise to suppress other rebellions across the land. The civil war not only exhausted the Kurfürsten's resources and political ideology, but also, it almost resulted in the disintegration of the confederation as it violated the harmony provided by the Güldenesgesatz.

   The civil war lasted until the coronation of Herkunftshorn the Witch King in the year 979 who personally amended the Güldenesgesatz by removing the name of Siracusa from the constitution. After the amendment, the Witch King formally recognized Siracusa's independence, and stability finally returned to both Leithanien and Siracusa.

5. #5Anarchy period

   The celebration for independence was however short-lived. Two days after the victory, Siracusa immediately became embroiled into chaos. The Confederate Capitol that remained unharmed for centuries during the Leithanian era was suddenly destroyed by a suicide bomber, killing every government minister in the building on spot. Following suit, several hitmen appeared with their crossbows to halt the firefighters' rescue mission. The bombing incident was seen as a declaration of war between the famiglie.

   Without a legitimate government, Siracusa fell into an era of anarchy that lasted for seventy years. The Dodici Famiglie openly conducted sabotages against each other as well as forced annexation of their respective cities. The anarchy lasted until the year 1039 when Signora Sicilia, the Donna of the once glorious Famiglia Sicilia, returned from Laterano after finishing her studies abroad and unified the Dodici under the Grey Hall to end such chaotic period through the religion of the Lateran Church and a new legal system called the "Pistole e Ordine," the "Guns and Order." In the unification process, Sicilia seldom used violence to subjugate the rebelling famiglia, but she could go ruthless if the situation required. Being fearful of her wrath, the Dodici finally humbled themselves and negotiated peace and balance of power at the Grey Hall. Aside from ending the feud of the Dodici, Sicilia established a functional government under the Confederation Council that could protect the civilians from the mafia's affairs.

   For the next sixty years to the present days, Siracusa has enjoyed temporary social stability. The Grey Hall is checked by both the Siracusan Confederate Council and the Confederate Supreme Court, both of which are perceived as the extension of Sicilia's political power. There is a separation of power between the famiglie and the civilians in city administration when the famiglie are forced to hand in their power back to the people. However, such peace remains extremely fragile because there are some who question the legitimacy of Sicilia's system due to her lack of political position as well as Siracusa's famiglia culture born from its ancient tribal tradition.[10] Conspiracies and political schemes remain prominent behind the scenes despite Sicilia's iron-fist control. Nevertheless, there are newer generations who rebel against such unfair tradition, aiming to rebuild Siracusa without the famiglie.

   As Siracusa's famiglie expands, their presence could be found across every corner of Terra. Notably, they found a strong foothold in Columbia since the Revolutionary War by establishing smuggling networks that brought wealth back to Siracusa.

7. #7Signora Sicilia

   Entry settings

   Signora Sicilia, or better known as Miss Sicily, is the Capo dei capi of the Siracusan Mafia, hence being the Godmother of the mafias. She is the current head of state of Siracusa who unified the Dodici Famiglie under the Grey Hall sixty years ago, in the year 1039, to end its sixty-years long chaotic period following its independence from Leithanien.

   The Signora can be both a kind lady and a ruthless woman in times. She rarely relies on force, even at the slightest acts of flattery. But if necessary, she could rely on all sorts of aggressive and cruel tactics in order to impose her power. However, she cannot treat any challenger that usurps her "game of order" with any semblance of Clemency, including the mafiosi; anyone who dares to challenge her will face consequences. Some of the worst offenses against her include blaspheming the legal system which she sees as her extension of her authority and attempting to overthrow the current famiglia system. To this end, she can employ the Bocca al Lupo —Her personal guards— to eliminate anyone that could impose a threat to Siracusa's interests if they dare to ignore her warnings. Nevertheless, the Signora sees herself as the guardian of the old days who waits for anyone who could provide a better solution to run the country.

8. #8Zaaro

   Entry settings

   One of the "Signori dei Lupi", of Siracusa, Zaaro made Bernardo Bellone as his Fang over sixty years before Il Siracusano takes place, allowing him to rise into becoming the don of the Bellone famiglia, and Zaaro has since backed them from behind the scenes to overthrow Signora Sicilia, claim Siracusa for himself, and then winning the "great game" between il Signori.He also considered to make Bernardo's son, Leontuzzo, his successor Fang.

   Due to his involvement in human affairs for a long time, Zaaro's personality had become human-like, yet having nearly all the worst traits of humanity with none of the best. Ambitious, greedy, and manipulative, Zaaro will do anything and everything to achieve his goal; in fact, his schemes kickstarted much of Il Siracusano's story:

   Zaaro's body is formless and covered by heavy fog, allowing him to warp himself anywhere he wants, although he can physically manifest himself as a werewolf, albeit moving on all fours like a regular wolf would. Zaaro can instill fear onto his enemies and his howl can incite the vendetta of his allies, and he can stand upright on his rear legs when necessary, unleashing quick, short-reaching swipes at his foes with his front legs.
