The Giovanni are like the Al Capones of the Kindred world. They made a deal a long time ago to stay out of the affairs of the kindred ways. Instead they fill their time with corprate take overs and mergers. Kinda boring, until one day you wake up and find that you are surrounded by Giovanni and everything is run by them. The world will be theirs and then no one cans top them from whatever it is they have planned.....
