He gets Made in the Moreno family through Ganzo Alari. He serves under the Morenos for years,which have Lawless district and West Chicago on their palms,but the Morenos and the Galassias do not get along with each other,and Vincent takes the opportunity to increase his own power by dealing with the Galassias in secrecy with Alari's help,but Don Moreno's accountant,Testa Lagusa finds out about it. In April 1925,Vincent kills Don Moreno and the Lagusas to keep the knowledge from being leaked out. After Moreno's demise,the Vanettis become the most feared and respected family alongside the Galassias,but with Vincent getting ill,the Orcos begin to gain power,and that makes the Vanetti organization begin to fail.
Don Orco is a former executive of the Moreno family. He split from them to found his own organization. Since then he became another Mafia boss that made the streets of Lawless a bloody path. Not only they are rich but their name makes people afraid for their lives.
The Chicago Outfit that controls Chicago's underworld and tries to grab hold of Lawless. Their feud with the Moreno family led to the conspiracy that murdered Don Moreno and the Lagusas and created the Vanetti criminal empire that ruled Lawless for 7 years.
