Story Role
The role of the Mafia in Ghost Master is very minor, with them only appearing in one level in the finished game, Deadfellas.
Deadfellas
Don Bartholemew has been denying the existence of ghosts, which has caused the Haunting Committee to send in the player to make Don believe. He and his men are currently on a yacht named Rosenkava that is floating in the waters of Gravenville. The yacht was taken over by the mafia, with the crew remaining for unspecified reasons, likely fear.
With the exception of Don who's the Ghost Master's main target, the mobsters mainly serve as sources of plasm and ways to free the restless spirits, in particular being very helpful in freeing Knuckles as many of the mobsters will instantly go play the roulette if they are inflicted with the Charmed status from either Charm or Luckstorm.
Cut Content
Field of Nightmares
The Mafia was intended to appear in a version of the cut level Field of Nightmares, where for unknown reasons they would have tried to stop the Hamner Familly from building a baseball field on their land.
In addition, Ray Hill would have appeared during the mission as the new boss of the Mafia. This implies that Don Bartholemew either had a breakdown or retired after the events of Deadfellas.
