History: (100 Bullets #25) - Augustus Medici called a meeting of the Trust in Atlantic City after learning from Mr. Shepherd that in addition to Agent Graves, Cole Burns of the Minutemen was still alive. Once the 13 families arrived Augustus began the meeting, reminding everyone of how the Minutemen was created to keep them in check, to make sure no family turned against the other. He said they once they started trusting each other the Minutemen became obsolete, and an impediment to their success. Javier Vasco felt the Minutemen had been necessary, and Augustus knew he felt that way because the group once settled a bloody dispute between his family and that of Axe Nagal, but assured him they were no longer needed. He denied that Graves and any other surviving Minutemen were a threat, and Daniel Peres told him Graves would come after him first because they'd once been close friends.

(100 Bullets #41) - Javier Vasco, Helena Kotis and Fulvio Carlito, heads of their respective families in the Trust, brokered a meeting with Agent Graves through Mr. Shepherd. They met at the Seattle Space Needle, and Javier wondered what their bright lights looked like to the people below, and decided the little people's lives were filled with big dreams but even bigger disappointments. The families made it clear to Graves that the elimination of the Minutemen was nothing personal, although he disagreed, and they said they were in a position to give him what he wanted most. Augustus had promised that the elimination of the Minutemen would lead to even greater success for the Trust, but things were getting hairy without the Minutemen as peacekeepers. After Peres' assassination his family was removed from the Trust, and his assets were parsed out among the remaining families, despite Javier's objections. They disliked there being only 12 families, because an even number meant no deciding vote, so one more family had to go, and the Medicis were becoming too powerful. They intended to eliminate Augustus, and asked Graves to pick up the pieces afterwards, promising to reinstate the Minutemen. They made it clear they would rule the nation no matter what Graves did, but he could be part of their vision of the future.

(100 Bullets #65) - Lono, the Trust's new wrarlord, kidnapped Fulvio Carlito, learning he was behind the botched hit on Augustus and Benito Medici in Miami. He decided to torture him, and take his time with it, so he sent Victor and Ray to enjoy themselves at a strip club. Lono started cutting pieces off of Carlito until he admitted his fellow conspirators were the houses of Kotias and Vasco. He said they made a deal with Agent Graves, and Lono said Graves would have to answer to him before dumping out a bag containing the severed heads of Carlito's two sons. Lono finished him off.
