Christopher Moltisanti, played by Michael Imperioli, is a fictional character on the HBO TV series The Sopranos. He was Tony Soprano's protégé and a Capo in the Soprano crime family.

Christopher is introduced as the heir apparent to DiMeo crime family capo (later de facto boss) Tony Soprano, who has been a father figure to Christopher since the death of his father Dickie Moltisanti. Tony affectionately refers to Christopher as his "nephew", though in fact he is a cousin of Tony's wife Carmela. His long-term girlfriend is Adriana La Cerva, with whom he shares a tumultuous and abusive relationship.

Christopher is a volatile, impulsive young man, perennially frustrated by his apparent lack of progression in the business. Early on, he overstepped the mark when he hijacked trucks under the protection of family boss Junior Soprano. To teach him a lesson, Junior ordered a mock execution on him. He also shot a bakery clerk in the foot for not serving him quick enough, for which he was scolded by Tony. Nonetheless, Tony entrusted him with sensitive tasks, such as disposing of the bodies of murdered capos Richie Aprile and Ralph Cifaretto, and arranging the assassination of New York boss Carmine Lupertazzi. In season three Christopher was finally granted his wish of becoming a made man, though this led to friction with his new capo Paulie Gaultieri, whom he was now obligated to make regular tribute payments to. His feud with Paulie culminated in the Pine Barrens incident and though they made an uneasy truce, they would clash again on several occasions. By the sixth season, Christopher had been promoted to capo and had been told by Tony that he would lead the family into the 21st century.

Silvio Manfred Dante, often referred to as "Sil", played by Steven Van Zandt, is a fictional character on the HBO TV series The Sopranos. He is the consigliere to Tony Soprano in the Soprano crime family. Silvio has one of the lowest profiles on the show. He is usually a behind the scenes figure and tries not to draw much attention to himself. He does very well at maintaining a legitimate business image as the manager and owner of the Bada Bing strip club. Silvio usually keeps his cool in even the worst situations but has been known to unleash his terrible fury and excessive anger when necessary (or when playing poker), revealing a temper comparable to his peers'. Silvio is a movie and film connoisseur and has an encyclopedic mind for movie lines. Throughout the series, he entertains the other members of the crew by getting into character and mimicking Michael Corleone's remark in the The Godfather Part III: "Just when I thought I was out...they pulled me back in." Silvio is one of the most loyal mobsters in the Soprano crime family. He is notorious on the show for executing F.B.I. informants and traitors.
