Nostrade Family

The Nostrade Family is a mafia family headed by Light Nostrade, and according to its head bodyguard Dalzollene, is a subordinate to the Ritz Family. The Nostrade Family was originally a minor provincial mafia family of little importance, but by shrewdly using the fortune telling ability of his daughter Neon Nostrade, Light Nostrade managed to greatly increase his position in the Mafia Community, to the point where even the Ten Dons seek his daughter's advice.

Light Nostrade always has a team of hired bodyguards to protect Neon. Kurapika joins the team in order to find information about his people's stolen Scarlet Eyes. During the Phantom Troupe's first attack on the Mafia's Underground Auction in Yorknew City, several of the bodyguards are killed, including Dalzollene, allowing Kurapika to become the lead bodyguard. Shortly after his promotion, Neon's divination is stolen by Chrollo Lucilfer, the leader of the Troupe. It appears that after the loss of his daughter's ability, Light Nostrade is no longer able to maintain the influence of his family within the Mafia Community.
