I can see Vito bringing Genco into the organization out of loyalty and so forth, but along the way Genco got really smart. What's the backstory there? How did he get from grocer's son, and brother figure to Vito, all the way to the greatest consigliere who ever lived?
Good question. I never thought of Genco as being so intelligent and cunning. If he was, he would have understood better about Fanucci being a free-lancer (as Vito figured it out). Instead, Genco was scared shitless of Fanucci.
