'Whom he looked up to and seen as a role model. When Moses was one year old his mother would once again be pregnant with another child, this was also a shock due to again, his father's advanced age. His mother gave birth to a little girl named 'Francesca Harlow. 'Moses throughout his childhood was suprisingly always very close to Francesca.

The older Moses got, the more of a troublemaker he was. Aways getting into fights at school, destroying things, while Adam was a good behaved child who took care of Francesca and helped his parents. When Moses was seven years old he met Jack Yutanglos, A gurmaian immigrant to Saint Denis, they instantly connected and Moses's knowledge of spanish from his mother helped them grow a quick friendship. Moses taught Jack english and they would start scamming and stealing across Saint Denis.

Moses was twelve when his father announced they were moving to 'Empire Bay. 'A city up north that had an job oppurtunity. The Harlow Family packed up everything into their runned down old Car and hit the road. Jack and Moses wouldn't speak again until 1945. The Harlow Family got a home much smaller than their one back in Saint Denis and the residents of Little Italy weren't so welcoming to the family. Red began work at the docks and Adam would go to school for financing. Moses would meet Joe Barbaro, a young italian bully, both of them would connect and begin robbing in Empire Bay. Though the money Moses brought home was helping his family, his family members would disapprove of how it was aquired.

Joe taught Vito Italian and they would begin doing loansharking jobs in little Italy at age eighteen. Moses returned home one night and found out his father drowned at his job and was dead. Moses kept a stern face and attitude, but he was heart-broken. He held his crying sister in his arms. The next week, Red's funeral would be held at Empire Bay Catholic Church. Halfway through the ceremony, Joe would tap Moses on the shoulder and tell him the Jewelery Store they were planning to rob was closed. Moses and Joe left in the middle of the funeral, something Moses would come to regret later on in life.

They attempted to rob the jewelry store; however, a police officer caught them in the act. The two attempted to run away, but, while Joe escaped, Moses was caught. Seeing that Moses had an understanding of Italian, the police gave him the option of staying in jail or serving in the U.S. Army in the Italian campaigns. Deciding that he didn't want to serve a sentence in jail, he chose the army. He was drafted into the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment that served in the liberation of Sicily. He would be put on operation white cross, where Moses and his squad attempt to save a prisoner from the Fascists in Italy. After eliminating a majority of enemy soldiers, Moses and the surviving members of his squadron witnessed an old mafia godfather, piloting a tank, the facist soldiers put down their weapons out of fear and respect for the mafia. He would be sent to infirmary after being shot in the arm, where he was awarded a purple heart and sent home for a month.

After having dinner with his mother and sister he would sleep. He met his stepfather the next day, Antonio Scaletta, Moses respected him and seen him as a good man.

While in prison he was told by Francesca that their mother passed away in her sleep and their stepfather was holding a funeral service. Moses cried in his cell all night that night. He wasn't able to say goodbye. He would get involved with an underground fighting ring in prison and be involved with Leon Galente, an aged Vici Crime Family associate.
