Who is Don Fortunato?

Kingpin (Wilson Fisk) once targeted Don Rigoletto and Don Fortunato for assassination when he was attempting complete his leadership of the criminal underworld in New York City . He succeeded in killing Rigoletto, but Fortunato was saved by Jacob Conover . When the Kingpin was absent from New York for a long period of time, Fortunato stepped into the power vacuum and, using his Hydra ties, was able to force the other crimelords, such as the Slug and Hammerhead , into accepting him as the new kingpin. His elder son, Giacomo (better known as Jimmy-6 ) was present at the meeting where Fortunato portrayed his power. Don brought out the killer Tombstone to be executed. He then brought out random civilians from each of the crimelord's territories. His plan was to have each crime-lord kill a civilian, showcasing how Fortunato would punish disobedience by civilian massacres. Jimmy 6, horrified, pulled a gun on his father in front of the crowd of people.
