godfather's

Christening sponsor's possession

Godfather's is the possessive form of godfather—a man who sponsors a child at baptism, or a powerful figure in an organization, especially criminal.

The possessive marks ownership or association: my godfather's house, the godfather's blessing, the godfather's orders.

The Mafia sense comes from the novel and film *The Godfather*.
