Capone 2 by Jahquel J. Character Map
And we’re back…
Here’s your latest installment of my favorite Delgato Deep Dive Character Map! Unfortunately, we can’t experience our favorite books for the first time again, but I live for playing detective with these character maps, connecting every major and minor player across the DelFerno Universe.
In Capone 2, Jahquel J. continues to expand and expound on the world she’s building. This installment introduces fresh faces while reviving familiar ones from previous series, and you know I love some interconnectivity!

Touching Back Down in the DelFerno Universe
…and here’s what’s going down. 👇🏾
Synopsis:
Erin (our FMC) is reeling after a close relative is shot, forcing her to relive the horrific murder-suicide of her parents while navigating her current tragedy. She’s also struggling to trust Capone (our MMC) to be both a man of his word and the protector he promises to be.
Meanwhile, Capone is painting every borough of NYC red in search of the man responsible for her pain. Somewhere between being a lover and a leader, he finds time to move Erin and her family into his home, further blending their worlds and deepening their bond.
Per usual, Jahquel J. leaves us hanging on a cliff, this time with Capone’s little sister Capri and his acting second-in-command Nahiem, whose marriage takes an impossible turn for the worst.
Let’s look into the characters we met in Capone.
Old and New Faces
Messiah Garibaldi – First introduced in Crack Money with Cocaine Dreams, Messiah is the daughter of a mob boss, groomed to be a leader from the age of seven. She later appears in A Staten Island Love Letter and gets a shout-out in Capone 2 as the woman who taught Tasha’s mother how to “cook”—who, in turn, passed that skill to Tasha.
Alaia – While visiting his brother Cappadonna in prison, Capone notices his brother’s eyes on a woman in the visitation room. Later, Erin meets her—and we learn her name is Alaia. Keep an eye out for her; she’ll be our FMC in Cappadonna’s season.
Location Highlight
Willshire Hotel Bar – A favorite private meetup spot for Capri and Kincaid. This hotel chain was first mentioned in I’m Fine...Thanks from The Lennox Hills series, owned by the Willshire family. Jahquel J. loves to keep her worlds connected, and I love catching every breadcrumb she drops.

This post alone makes me want to go back and read The Delgatos again. 🤍
I need to get into this author’s books. Is this a good place to start from?
