the consigliere has always been a position i didnt really understand what there role was in the family??? at first i thought he was always a older mafioso who was more or less retired and just acted as a advisor to the boss but over time i have learned thats not what it is at all and it is a very powerful position. Could some1 please give me a accurate description of a consigliere and what they r responsible for?? do they run there own crew?? Are they under or equal in power to the underboss?? And when te money goes up the ladder from solier to capo to u underboss and then boss where is the consigliere. Thanks
