Glad to hear this is more what you were looking for!
1. Since you're down with this idea, we're thinking that the corporation that the Mancetti family once had ties with some centuries ago was Giles Bell, particularly because of the Jimmy connection (since Nate will have a direct tie to him starting in March). That is, part of the reason the mob got forced out is because of Jimmy not approving of their methods back then. Now it's nothing but bad blood between Riverside and Giles Bell, it seems. In the process of earning Rose's trust, Nate could eventually learn about some of the specifics of this grudge and its history. As for how it comes out that Nate was responsible for revealing Rose's identity, we figure that can happen later down the line.
2. The setup with his thieving work for the mob would be that once it was brought to their attention (via Langley) that he'd managed to sneak into the home of someone that rich and powerful and steal something, they'd decide that was the sort of skill set they could put to some actual good use. They would run him through the basics of how to get around the surveillance systems of this world (which isn't foolproof, but they've mapped out a good chunk of the surveillance in the city to know where the blind spots are), and then start to send him on jobs to test him. Nothing too difficult at first, but he'd be primarily sent out to steal black market goods, such as illegal prosthetics, then eventually drugs, weapons, etc. A lot of this would also be about them testing his loyalty to the organization as well. Eventually, once he's really trusted, they might assign him to steal things from Giles Bell itself, because they really do want to stick it to them however they can. But that won't be until later on.
3 & 4. That sounds good to us! For now Nate can work on earning Mancetti's trust, along with the rest of Riverside, and we can circle back to this whenever it seems to make sense.
5. Roughing up Langley and intimidating him to get him to back off and realize that he's trying to pick a fight with the wrong criminal works for us! We can leave it at that and always bring him back in as an element if it makes sense for any future plots here.
Definitely feel free to have Nate start to bring other Displaced in on this, as would make sense! We're totally down for it and imagine these plots will be more fun to engage with if other PCs are involved.
