To start with, a consigliere, before he is ever made such will be a captain from a strong earning crew withing a family. Very rarely will a Boss make a nobody brokester a consigliere. Before being made the number 3, he will be a Capo, a good earner, and have an influential crew. When made the number 3, the consigliere will turn annoint his right hand man the title of Capo of his crew so he can attend the duties of the family and his newly minted Capo can handle the day to day issues of that crew. The consigliere will still retain any rackets he has of his own, get money kicked up from his old crew and will take a share of any money the administration of his family gets as dictated by the Boss.
