Cosette didn't know much about Maxen's affairs. She knew the general details, such as his illegal dealings and criminal activities, but she didn't get a lot of information regarding the people surrounding Maxen.
It was better for Cosette to know less about Maxen's dealings, since knowing more would put her in danger; Maxen and Cosette knew that, and thus, they rarely discuss Maxen's affairs. Still, Cosette had heard a few short stories about the Underboss of the Don (Maxen.)
One of them was that this said Underboss was the only person Maxen had trusted. This person would even cut his own limb if Maxen asked for it. He also played out a huge role in Maxen's torture of Mia, "the female lead."
However, never did it ever cross Cosette that Maxen and his right-hand man had this sort of relationship at first. A bully and the bullied.
RIIIIING!
