A made man, also known as wiseguy, made guy, or man of honor, was someone who had been official inducted into a crime family in either the Galactic Mafia or the Human Mafia. Made men could either be a soldato (soldier), caporegime (captain), underboss, or the Don.

RequirementsEdit

In most crime families in both the Galactic and Human Mafias, a candidate for "made man-ship" had to be male, hold the rank of enforcer in a family, and be "unwaveringly loyal" to that family. In the Human Mafia alone, all made men had to be Human.^[1]

PrivilegesEdit

After the ceremony the inductee was then a made man and a full member of the Mafia hierarchy. Inducted as a soldato (or soldier), he was given certain responsibilities and privileges. The made man enjoyed the full protection and backing of the Mafia establishment as long as he remained in favor and earned enough money, of which a percentage of his earnings were passed further up the hierarchy. To attack, let alone kill, a made man for any reason without the permission of those made men higher up in the organization was seen as disregard for the Mafia's rules, which would normally be met with severe retaliation. The made man was traditionally seen as "untouchable" by the law as well as by his fellow criminals, a man to be respected and feared.^[1]

On most occasions, killing a made man would be met with one of two potential outcomes, either a sure death to the person who killed the made man, or a mob war. A war would ensue if the Don, or boss, of the soldier who killed the made man refused to surrender his subordinate for retaliation.^[1]
