Jannish Riordan is a major crime lord, well known in Porto Liure for his attachment to legitimate authority, and his civilized veneer. But, he's an old mercenary captain before turning overtly to crime, and dark rumors have surrounded him his entire career in the city. The Pretty Man is his mouthpiece, his herald, the one who speaks in his behalf. Not that Riordan can't speak for himself, but on the illegal side of the street, he prefers to keep a buffer between himself and that side of the business.
Needless to say, he is not allied with the Castiadas family (although alliances between the crime groups can switch on a dime) and has been allied in the past as a client of the Fuzeta da Ponte family.
