What has gone Before:

Bernie Santorelli is the youngest son of a catholic family containing 14 siblings. Among his siblings, There are 2 mobsters, 1 cop, 1 district attorney, 1 nun, 1 priest, 1 bona fide movie star, 1 restaurant owner, 1 english professor, 1 kindergarten teacher, 1 political activist, 1 career second story man, 1 CPA, and 1 circus acrobat. Needless to say, holidays at the Santorelli house can be interesting.

Bernie knows people. Growing up in that house, he had to learn. He became a cab driver and it's a job he genuinely enjoys. He also has a way with the ladies, and he has contacts in just about any field you could name.

The most interesting of these is in Branch 9. During the war, Bernie ended up working as driver (what a shock) when it became known that he spoke italian with no trace of brooklyn accent. He sort of got drafted into working in counter intelligence. Turns out he was pretty good at it and created his own spy network entirely out of relatives. Branch 9 notices these things. To this day, he stills gets the odd letter asking him to transport a person or package with no questions asked. Sometimes these little errands get a little hairy.

Bernie even has friends he doesn't know about, who have benefitted from his driving prowess. These include Sarah Gettel and even Whitley Styles.

Bernie is a genuinely nice guy with a streak of gab a mile long. He knows how to handle himself and he can mix it up too if it comes down to that. His main gift is that he can drive anything with wheels on it as if it were growing out of his waist. More than one interesting evening has resulted from the simple phrase "...Ya know. I couldn't help over hearing...and I may know somebody who can help."
