History: (100 Bullets #24, 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. Mia Simone arrived, and took Trust members Daniel Peres, Benito Medici and Megan Dietrich out to dinner. 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 Axel Nagel, 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 #70) - The Trust attended the funeral of Axel Nagel, killed by Javier Vasco, and his children Anna and Lars were none too happy that the house of Nagel was to be absorbed by the rest of the Trust. Mia Simone told them not to fret, because they'd always be rich, and the politics of running a family in the Trust had a way of getting to people. Augustus, accompanied by Lono, said he regretted the death of Fulvio Carlito, but he knew the Trust had enemies within. He said he would forgive the past if the conspirators stopped, and told them they had to stick together to survive Agent Graves. He decided the house of Nagel would stand, and told Anna and Lars to decided between themselves who would lead it.
(100 Bullets #76) - The Saint Remi Rome killed Mia Simone, tossing her out a window and destroying another house of the Trust.
