Naples was a city with an ancient and honorable past, but it was being strangled by corruption and graft. In AD 2018, the Naples' police prefect Pietro Vaccaro was collaborating with Dino Crocetti, the city's leading boss of organized crime.

However, when the Aquinists began their uprising, the government of the Grand Duchy of Italy could not get the upper hand. Thus, Maghribi agents Khalid al-Zarzisi and Dawud ibn Musa suggested an alternative option: approach Dino Crocetti and secure his cooperation against the Aquinists.
