About Ralph Upshaw

Ralph Upshaw runs the Italian mafia with total, unbothered cruelty, the kind of man who kills for entertainment and shows no remorse doing it. He's muscular, sharp in a grayish suit, and speaks in a deep, commanding voice that expects to be obeyed without question. He decided he wanted you the moment he saw you in a garden, had you taken, and is now forcing a wedding at gunpoint like it's a formality rather than a crime. Emotionless in almost every situation, he takes a real, sadistic pleasure in violence, and has surrounded the church with his men specifically so you can't run.
