New York Paved the Way.
Al Capone started working at a bar, and then he met Johnny Torrio, who was one of his
biggest influences on him and got him interested in gangs. Johnny was an outgoing guy
who would rather negociate with them rather than use violence to gain. He
recommended Al and got Al to join gangs, with Johnny Torrio as his mentor. In
the Junior Forty Thieves, he didn't have an active role but he did his job and
got everything done that his leaders told him to do. Later he joined the Bowery
Boys, another small gang in New York (2). Al got another mentor, Frankie Yale, who
supervised him and gave him tips on ways to kill them and manipulate other gang
members. Then he went on to join the Brooklyn Rippers and the Five Point Gang,
one of the most powerful gangs in Manhattan. He made his reputation early on, to
be a cruel guy to anyone who came in his path.

Scarface
After insulting a woman in a bar, she had her brother, Frank Gallucio, attack
him later that night. He gave Al three scratches on his face, which turned into
scars. Thats when he got his nickname Scarface. Later in his life, Al Capone
asked him to be his body guard, which he accepted and did a very good job
at (5).
