 The Cartel: The main one initially named is the Greci family, who stole the Italian mafia drug business back to Sicily from the 'Ndrangheta of Calabria. They have a somewhat lockjaw deal with the Latin American cocaine companies. The mysterious Russians didn't care when Salvatore Greco was killing other mafioso to get his way (committing genocide against entire families), but do take issue when he gets trigger happy and starts killing important Italian and Sicilian legal figures. And a pregnant journalist.

 Asshole Victim: It's implied that just before she turned seventeen, Villanelle vivi-castrated the man who raped the woman she'd fallen in love with. It's hard to feel sorry for him.

 Academic Athlete: Strangely enough, Villanelle. Since childhood she has been enormously gifted and highly intelligent, attending one of the best universities in Russia to study French and Linguistics, and also won the gold medal for pistol shooting in the Russian University Games when she was only a freshman.
