The Boss or Don is the leader of a mafia or gang who makes the important decisions for their gang or organisation, with some decisions made on the advice of their Consigliere, or adviser. This word doesn't always mean a mafia boss, but also other bosses from criminal families, gangs and other criminal organizations.
