Simon "The Songbird" Finch was a soldato of the Barzini family, working under Pietro Testa.

Biography[]

A top-notch diamond and jewellery racketeer, Simon Finch was known in his younger years to be a viciously effective enforcer, who took insults to his family incredibly seriously, in a similar role to Luca Brasi of the Corleones. He served as a soldato under Pietro Testa and was also a savvy businessman and racketeer, earning him ownership over the Palermo Warehouse in Midtown.

However, from 1948 to 1955, the Barzini family began to fall on hard times and Finch was hard-pressed to continue his racket, due to the extortion of Gregor Reisdorfiev and Sonny-Boy Granzella. He was eventually bought over soon after.
