From a penniless lad at the age of thirteen to a mafia boss in his early youth and a successful businessman as well as a venerated pillar of society in his later life, B.C. Mishra, like the mob boss Corleone, never let his values of dignity and ethics be compromised. Through all his lifealtering decisions, he remained steadfast and courageous. His fairness, generosity, and sincerity, plus an unwillingness to let vengefulness cloud his judgment bought him the loyalty and support of lawbreakers and lawmen alike, while his business acumen and great foresight helped him to forge the life he always wanted for himself. And, like Corleone, he stayed loyal and devoted to his family, especially his wife and partner of many years, thus becoming the revered patriarch to a large number of people and an inspirational figure to all.
