Bio
Upbringing & Fictionalizing
Carlo grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where he spent his first 20 years. After his brother Sonny's mysterious disappearance in 1973, he used his family’s name by writing novels about fictionalized events from his life. In one of his books, he described his older brothers locking him in the basement for days and torturing him with stories of murder and death.
Growing Popularity
On his rise to the top, Carlo betrayed many to get what he wanted, including most of his friends. Often, he would never follow through on his end of an agreement, which only angered those he worked with more.
In 1980, Carlo moved into a high-rise apartment in Manhattan, where he proceeded to write two novels a year, most of which became instant bestsellers.
Death
In 1987, Sonny made a single trip to New York, specifically to ask his brother to stop writing the stories. The two got into a heated argument, and Sonny stormed out. A few minutes later, Harrison Braski, a hitman sent to "collect on broken promises," arrived at Carlo's penthouse and shot him point-blank in the chest. Carlo's body was discovered a few days later, and a private ceremony was held, one which no one, including his own family, attended.
Alternate Universe
In an alternate universe, Carlo is actually the one behind the New Prairie stories series. The characters in the story are based on real people in his life but may or may not be the same as the ones portrayed in the stories themselves. The revelation that Carlo is behind them isn't revealed until the final story of the entire New Prairie series.
