• Giulia Romano: Acclaimed concert pianist.

• Historically, the Tagliettis aided the rise of these elites, expecting them to remain beholden. The tables have since turned, with the Five exerting influence over the Tagliettis, steering their operations while maintaining a public facade of legitimacy.

• Employed Toxicity, a metahuman capable of amplifying chemical potencies, specializing in poisons.

• Toxicity, suspected under the Taglietti banner, publicly assassinated the superhero, Bastion, sparking violent reprisals from vigilante John Knight, known as the Cowl.

• The Cowl previously waged a brutal campaign against the Taglietti family, significantly impacting their operations.

• Despite their endeavors, the citizens of Miller Terrace once found a protector in Bastion, a fallen hero whose presence in the area deterred many of the Tagliettis' criminal pursuits.
