Underboss

An underboss is a key leader within an organized crime group or a structured criminal organization. They typically serve as the second-in-command, reporting directly to the boss or leader. The underboss oversees daily operations, manages lieutenants or crew leaders, and ensures that the organization's activities run smoothly. They often act as a bridge between the boss and lower-ranking members, handling task delegation, discipline, and strategy implementation. Essentially, the underboss is a trusted deputy responsible for maintaining the organization's order and efficiency, stepping in to lead when the boss is unavailable.
