Captain Birdseye

Captain Birdseye was a celebrity and part-time crime boss  who often associated with Bruno Tattaglia

Background
Birdseye was born in London during the 1930's, and attended school with Mr Crane a future member of the Corleone Family. By 1950, Birdseye had gotten into advertising after his father Captain Birdseye Sr suggested it to him. Birdseye Sr had been a radio jockey, and actor during the 1930's and 40's. Birdseye got his first big break when he began advertising Coleman's fishfingers, and after his commercials gained a large cult following, he was made an offer by Richard Coleman the chairman of Polar Bear Ice Company. Coleman offered to not only make Birdseye his offical spoke person but also change the name of the company to Birdseye's and making Birdseye the offical new chairman of the company as Coleman had been planning to retire since there was nothing left for him in London since his wife passed.

Running The Company And Connections To Organised Crime
Following his takeover of the company. Birdseye made it more money than ever. He continued to appear in all advertising as well as it's billboards. By 1971, he had appeared in more than 500 commercials. His company even began to branch worldwide. In the 1960's, Birdseye opened up a Birdseye factory in Kingston in Empire Bay. The shop also sold heavy weaponary in the downstairs basement. In the winter of 1971, Birdseye met Vito Scaletta who bought a machine gun off him which was filled with pink custard. Vito planned on using this to help his friends kill Kideny Wen a big chungus looking crime boss. Birdseye began making contacts in the Empire Bay Criminal Underworld associating with high up crime bosses such as Carlo Falcone, Mr Felly, and even Frank Vinci whose son had gone to school with Birdseye. Felly in particular began plotting with Birdseye to take over Empire Bay by lacing his pink custard with heorin. They did so that people would become addicted to it, and buy buckets of it thus making Felly and Birdseye loads of sweet muns. However in 1978, Felly was assassinated by members of the Falcone Family for smelling like poo. Birdseye being emotionally drained by Felly's death decided to discontinue their plot to respect his memory. However sevearl years later in 2003. Birdseye began an association with the Tattaglia Crime Family providing them with 45% of his company's profits in exchange for protection from the cops as his weapon dealing business was beginning to extract addention. In 2009, Birdseye had his picture taken with Moe Greene while visiting him in Las Vegas. In December 2009, he was one of the people who Luca Brasi hung out with at Bruno Tattaglia's nightclub when he was trying to infilrate the rival gang. Birdseye was also the one to call Luca's bluff to Virgil Sollozzo who then ordered his execution. These days, Birdseye no longer appears in commercials due to sickness, and prefers to use his friend Grahem who was transformed into an anthropomorphic white teddy bear by the evil wizard Poppa Smurf. Grahem has since become the company's mascot, and has replaced Birdseye with his popularity. There are rumours however that Don Bruno Tattaglia plans on removing him but so far none of these have been confirmed. There are also rumours that Birdseye is talking to the Corleone's but no info has come out..... YET!

Birdseye is however ultimately corrupt working for the Tattaglia Family, as well as having connections to all the major crime gangs in Empire Bay and Las Vegas. He is quite emotionally senstiive being unable to handle it if people don't like his food.
