Tony Mecacci

Tony Mecacci was a hitman/serial killer who appeared in Season Five of Criminal Minds.

History
Tony was a hitman working for the mob and apparently also an avid golf player. At some point in his career, one of his murders resulted in a murder charge, which was deemed a mistrial. After that, he started living more secluded and adopted the alias "Bosola" after a character in the 17th century play The Duchess of Malfi. Shortly before Reckoner, he was hired by Judge Schuller, the judge presiding his case who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, to kill a number of people involved in crimes against children. After successfully killing Ray Finnegan, a mobster who aided Rossi, he proceeded to kill Dan Patton, the drunk driver who killed Schuller's wife. After he was found, Schuller, who had turned himself in, was shot by Tony as he was brought out of the police building. After that, the BAU left, since there was nothing else they could do. Tony was then shot and killed by one of Finnegan's mobsters, Sean, after attempting to make the Irishman laugh.

Modus Operandi
Tony used a .22 zip gun to kill his victims. He fired one shot into the heart and one into the brain. There were some variations with each murder in Reckoner. As the victims were all in some way involved in child abuse, Tony would mutilate or torture them in some way appropriate to their crimes. Tony also took pictures as a proof of death, and occasionally took precautions, like cutting the power and covering himself in plastic before killing Ben Vanderwaal. Each hit cost $50,000, which clients would send to a Caymen Islands bank account in five installments of $9,999 (to avoid suspicion from the IRS, which kept track of transfers of $10,000 or higher).

Profile
The offender who planned Tony's murders and hired him was profiled as being in his late 50s or 60s, working in the justice system, having recently suffered a personal tragedy and having access to a lot of money. Tony himself was profiled as "armed and extremely dangerous". When the mobster held a gun to him, he took it very lightly and actually started making a joke.
