no offense but that sounds a lot more ridiculous man, no way a stranger is gonna walk up to a boss and just be accepted. they clearly had a history.

if you had a real tough guy like this napoleon, that had already worked for you on the street and has proven himself, why wouldn't you take him as a bodyguard? this guy was big as hell and knew how to use his hands. this isn't the first time guys have used a non-italian as an enforcer, i don't see why it's so hard to believe.
