In the "Five Families" book Selwyn Raab writes that one of Blakey's favorite movies was "Little Caesar". The fictionalized Al Capone of that movie was nicknamed Rico.
"Mother of Mercy, is this the end of Rico?"
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
