Carmine Sessa was a weak leader in the Persico faction. He was more of a proxy role as the war went on. I don't see him lasting long in the Consigliere role. If Orena won the war; Think Bendetto Aloi or Vincenzo Aloi would have taken it over officially. They were elder statesmen and respected at that point.
