Underboss

Underboss is the second most powerful position in a criminal organization directly beneath the boss themselves. The underboss is often a relative of the boss and is appointed by the boss. The underboss is typically in charge of all the capos and is usually the first in line to becoming acting boss should the boss die or be imprisoned. There are normally no more than two underbosses in an organization, if there's more than one at all.
