Originally posted by Lollygagers12: My question here is, who do you think would be vito's consigilere (after Genco) if Tom Hagen had not been adopted? I mean if Sonny had not found Hagen on the streets and brough him in, then who would have taken over as consigilere??? Excellent question! I don't really see any of the other characters that Vito was surrounded by becoming a consigliere to him. Sonny... too hot headed. Fredo...well, you know. Clemenza...a loyal worker who only follows orders. Luca....no way. The only two other people that could have qualified as Vito's consigliere's would be Michael or Tessio. But at the time of Genco's death, Mike wanted nothing to do with the family business. Tessio is more of a thinker and a calculating person next to the other characters mentioned above, so I would say that he would be best qualified ( next to Micahel ) out of all the characters listed above. Maybe I forgot someone else. Don Cardi

Just my $.02 How do you think that he would have done that? By taking an add out in the papaer? J/J. Good point! Actually Vito wound up being Mike's consigliere, and then Tom really still played a major part for Mike. But yes, when Genco became ill, I am sure that Vito would have searched for someone within the family and groomed the best one for the job, the way he did Tom. Don Cardi

I think there would be no consigliere at first. Or there would be somebody written into the storyline, a sicilian lawyer or something.
