Danny O'Bannion
The boss is 33, six feet tall, and heavily built; he remembers and tells jokes well, and can talk about anything for hours. Compared to Joe Potrello, O’Bannion is well-educated; he can move in circles that Potrello could not penetrate. Born and raised in Boston, he is third-generation Irish. He wears tailored suits, owns his own automobile (the traditional gangster black Packard). O’Bannion’s charming facade conceals a cold and brutal personality which relishes humiliating or destroying those who cross him.
O'Bannion is the undisputed boss of all crime that matters in Arkham since taking over all of Joe Potrello's interests. O'Bannion is bankrolled by the Irish mob in Boston and while he is a big fish in Arkham, he knows he is no match for his superiors in Boston and is thus very deliberate in showing them proper deference and not attempting to expand into any areas they may perceive as threatening their organizations - at least not yet.
He is often out of town, usually on business in Boston, negotiating with and delivering money to the mob bosses who financed the move into the Miskatonic Valley. They trust him enough to use his boats to dump unseemly corpses at sea. O’Bannion keeps his hands clean. He directly manages only the trucking company. He implicates himself only when delicate crimes (such as bribing important officials) need his skills. Henchmen and hirelings handle the actual racketeering.
