I know that the reporter who cited a confidential informant in his exposé on the Genoa compound received his intel in the days following Specialist de Luca's meeting with her bosses. I know for a fact she tried to convince her superiors to raid the Genoa compound and they refused because they were still gathering intel.

As a naturalized immigrant herself, it would seem that when Specialist de Luca saw the dozens of refugees waiting to be sold into slave labor and prostitution at the hands of the Vinciguerras, it broke through her well-crafted defenses and compelled her to act. Specialist de Luca was enjoying a meteoric rise within the Vinciguerra Crime Family as an arms dealer when she gained access to a compound outside of Genoa that was central to the Vinciguerra's human trafficking operations. On paper, Specialist de Luca is a decorated hero of the GIS, with a Gold Medal for Civil Valor for her efforts, but if you dig a little deeper, she has her detractor who believes she was the source of the leak that nearly sabotaged the GIS investigation. Psychologically, however, the wounds are deep and I suspect that her father's brush with organized crime has set our 'Alibi' on her path.Īlibi as a codename is also rather telling, considering the circumstances that cut short her undercover operation against the Vinciguerra crime family. Specialist de Luca was never herself injured and shows the same strong constitution and mental fortitude that we come to expect from all our operators. was singularly unlucky enough to repeatedly break fingers, fall down stairs and break his own arm. Cross analyzing that with old police records and her family's hospital visits, I believe her father was the victim of pizzo or a protection racket. Thanks to my contact within the Carabinieri's Chief of Staff office, I was able to gain access to Specialist de Luca's psych evals following her application to join the GIS. She carries a deep-seated hatred for crime families (that much is obvious - it's the closest I've come to see her sophisticated veneer crack) and I think it may compromise her ability to operate rationally when it comes to organized crime. Specialist Aria de Luca (AKA: Alibi) presents a multi-layered facade, undoubtedly stemming from her years of undercover operations, but I suspect it's a protective measure likelier rooted from her childhood. A newspaper leak of impending operations against the Vinciguerras then forced the GIS to accelerate their initiative.įollowing her undercover work and the successful dismantling of the Vinciguerra Crime Family, Aria de Luca received the invitation to join Rainbow as a capable operator. She infiltrated the Vinciguerra Crime Family as an arms dealer and spent several years among them before bringing them down from the inside. She eventually earned a spot in the prestigious Gruppo Intervento Special (GIS) and following a successful operation in Afghanistan despite being separated from her unit, she was singled out for undercover work in organized crime. Following the event, a Carabinieri recruiter convinced her to join the police force.ĭe Luca's precision shooting skills and professionalism shot her up the ranks quickly, and she served for a time with the elite Raggruppamento Operativo Speciale in fighting organized crime. At 10, Aria entered the European Championships organized by the European Shooting Confederation and won gold in both 10-metre running target and 10-metre air pistol divisions. De Luca carried her understanding and usage of Italian firearms through the family business and training on the shooting range. Her father managed a small ordinance manufacturer, using his extensive North African contracts to open up exports to that region. Aria 'Alibi' de Luca was born in Tripoli, Libya and immigrated with her family when she was three years old.
