Son of the Mob/YMMV


 * The Scrappy: Vince's best friend Alex. He's mostly only Vince's friend since he's the only one not scared of the whole "mob boss as a dad" thing, but he can also be very unsympathetic to his friend and cowardly, which is made worse by his whiny "poor me" nature.
 * Vince's roommate in the second book, intentionally. He was supposed to seem annoying for his trivial problems in comparison to Vince's (he did have problems though-- politician's son used mainly for photo ops), and Vince could never actually say what his own issues were, which made the roommate think he didn't have any).
