Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven

Thomas "Tommy" Angelo

B.August 30, 1900 D.September 25, 1951 (age 51)

Introduced in: Prologue

Killed in: Epilogue/Stairway to Heaven (Mafia II)

Tommy Angelo is the protagonist in the game. Originally a cab driver, but due to a combination of unpleasant circumstances, he is forced to join the Mafia. Tommy is all in all a nice guy, but a tough childhood and life in the 1930s have changed his moral values a little. Thus, he is capable of doing things that a normal person would not understand, but his conscience sometimes haunts him.

Tommy started out as a taxi driver on the streets of Lost Heaven, which is said to be based on New York or/and Chicago during prohibition. He also may served during the First World War due to his excellent proficiency with a wide variety of firearms. While by his cab on September 30, 1930 two mafia gangsters, later to be his partners Paulie and Sam surprise Tommy and tell him to outrun some rival mobsters chasing them. He soon gets involved with Don Salieri and all his criminal operations. He does jobs like murdering other gangsters, collecting money, entering races, stealing property, bootlegging, robbing banks, and damaging people and or property. He rises through the ranks of the family by using his cunning style to overcome obstacles in the family. Like their consigliere ratting on the family, and skill to do any job. He meets contacts all over the city who give him helpful tips as well as help him out during his missions like mechanics and safe crackers. The Salieri family eventually gets its vendetta so high with the Morello's, a rival family that they break out in war. Morello's brother is killed along with many of his partners and associates and Morello's ruthlessness causes him to lose the war. During all of this he becomes involved with Sarah, the daughter of the bartender of Salieri's Bar, Luigi.

Finally, in the year 1938, Paulie and Tommy finds out that Salieri has been fooling them, secretly smuggling diamonds and keeping all the profits. Frustrated over being fooled on money, Paulie suggests that they rob a bank. Sam refuses but doesn't reveal he'll tell Salieri. Tommy first refuses, but once alone Paulie convinces him and they make up a plan. The heist is successful but the very next day Tommy finds Paulie in his apartment lying dead in a pool of blood. Sam calls Tommy and tells him to meet at an art gallery where it is revealed Salieri has ordered the deaths of Paulie and Tommy after their moonlighting (Sam told about Paulie's suggestion, making it of no difficult to guess who did that bank heist). After a shootout Tommy comes out victorious, killing Sam and several of Salieri's men. He quickly flees to Europe with Sarah and his (never named) daughter, but returns the same year (in the intro of the game) where he set up a meeting with a detective called Norman at a restaurant. During the afternoon Tommy tells his story (and thereby narrates the game piece by piece) and agrees to testify against Salieri if he gets a shorter sentence and receives protection, saying "If these people go to jail, or better up - death row - they won't be able to take revenge on me. At least not as easily if they were free." He then goes into the Witness Protection Program with his wife Sarah and daughter, and after the grand trial - in which more than 80 gangsters are sentenced to electrocution or prison for at least eight years, and Salieri to life. After the war, Tommy and his family are moved to the other side of the country under new names where he takes job as a driver "for a respectable company". On September 25, 1951 he stands outside his house, now 51 years old, watering the grass when a car stops by on the sidewalk (12 years after the start of the trial). Two men (confirmed in Mafia II that they are Vito Scaletta and Joe Barbaro) get out, walk to Tommy and asks "Mr Angelo?". Tommy confusedly answers "Yes?" and the hitman answers "Mr. Salieri send his regards", the other lifting a lupara and shoots him in the chest. As a woman screams and the two men get back into their car and hurry away, Tommy lies on the grass with a big hole in his chest, blood running out, the hose lying next to him. Tommy's last narration as the camera rises from his dead body ends with "I think it's important to keep a balance in things. Yeah, balance, that's the right word. Cause the guy who wants too much risks losing absolutely everything. Of course, the one who wants too little from life, might not get anything at all."

The character of Tommy Angelo is probably a reference of Ray Liotta's character from Goodfellas, Henry Hill.

Tommy appears briefly in Mafia II, as Vito Scaletta, the protagonist of the game, is given the assignment from the Falcone Family of putting the hit on him.

Norman

B.December 22, 1890

Introduced in: Prologue

Norman is the Irish detective. He is a typical example of a detective brought up through the school of hard knocks. He is a scruffy, tough guy, who acts like he hates everybody around him. Tom tells him his story, but does not get much sympathy. He really wants to put the family away but agrees to help Tom and his family by giving them new identities and moving them to the western side of the United States. When Tommy meets him, Tommy says; "Detective, Norman, can I join you ?", and then onto saying, "Sorry for the Delay, but I didn't want anyone to see me,..."

Don Ennio Salieri

B.April 30, 1876 D.September 28, 1939 (Age 63)

Introduced in: Molotov Party

Died: Epilogue

The Don is the boss of the Salieri family that Tommy works for and the game's main antagonist. He is a guy who's lived through a lot and doesn't get excited too easily. He is typical of a Mafioso, who has not built up his position just for money and does not always kill to get what he wants. He is friendly, but when he gets tough he can become dangerous. Sometimes business is more important than friendship to him. At the end of the game he is sentenced to life in prison. Salieri is presumed dead during his imprisonment in Late September, 1939.

Don Salieri is most likely a reference to Paul Cicero from the movie Goodfellas, in which Cicero was portrayed by Paul Sorvino, father of Tommy Angelo's voice actor Michael Sorvino.

Paulie

B. July 28, 1898 D.September 23, 1938 (Age 40)

Introduced in: An Offer you Can't Refuse

Killed in: Prior to the Mission The Death of Art

Paulie is Tom's sidekick, and energetic and hot-tempered guy, who sometimes behaves and often work and have fun together. Paulie is very similar in appearance to Joe Pesci.

In the beginning, Paulie and his partner Sam kidnap Tommy and force him to act as a getaway driver. They exchanged fire at the car believed to be Don Morello's men chasing at them. At the end of the game, he was killed by Sam after robbing the First National Bank with Tommy the day before (Sam killed Paulie with a shotgun).

Paulie is most likely a reference to Tommy DeVito, played by Joe Pesci from the film Goodfellas.

Sam

B.April 1, 1899 D.September 23, 1938 (Age 39)

Introduced in: An Offer You Can't Refuse

Killed in: Mission: The Death of Art

Another of Tom's colleagues. He is a big, friendly guy, with a nice smile. In spite of his size, he is timid and a little clumsy, and does not talk much. He often works with Tom and Paulie, and they are good friends. He used to be a mechanic before his career in mafia, as he can repair a car (as seen in "Creme de la Creme").

Though he seems to be a bit actor at the beginning, Sam will play a moderate role in many of the game's most dramatic missions. He also seems to be injured the most of all the people in this game. Later at the end of the game, he and his gang believed to have murdered Paulie after he heard Paulie and Tommy robbed the bank. After that he will make a phone call when Tommy arrives in Paulie's apartment to go to the museum.

Later Sam asks his men to kill Tommy. After a hard fought battle with his men, Sam will have a battle with Tommy when Tommy wins the battle leaving him wounded and then Tommy shooting him to his death.

Sam is most likely a reference to Jimmy Conway, portrayed by Robert De Niro in Goodfellas.

Frank Colletti

B.January 1, 1877 D. October 28, 1933 (fake death), September 16, 1938 (real death) (age 56 (fake death) 61 (real death)

Introduced in: Molotov Party

Killed in: He was believed killed in 'Omertà' but was actually killed prior to 'The Death of Art'.

Frank is Don Salieri's best friend and consigliere. His main concern is family finance and the legal side of business. He is well suited to this. At first sight he does not seem to belong among these criminals, as he is a very quiet inconspicuous nice guy. He does his work mainly because of an attachment to Don Salieri, as well as their mutual past. They grew up together in a poor quarter and thanks to Don he gained most of what he has, Frank betrays the don and a hit was ordered by Salieri but Tommy is unable to do this. If he had grown up in any other place he would certainly be a successful lawyer or businessman.

Frank's family is kidnapped by the police and Morello's thugs and told the only way to free them is to cooperate and hand over incriminating evidence on Salieri family affairs. He cooperates and Salieri orders Tommy to kill him.

After confronting Frank at the airport, Tommy learns about Frank's position and rescues his family from where they are being held captive. Tommy then allows them to escape to Europe and tells Salieri that Frank is dead. Later Sam reveals that Salieri discovered Frank was alive and had him murdered five years after his betrayal.

Vincenzo

B.March 6, 1880

Introduced in: Molotov Party

He has worked for the family for a long time and it means everything to him. It's strange that such a good guy like Vincenzo found his greatest love in guns, but that is why he takes care of Salieri's arsenal of weapons and tries to select the best equipment for a mission. He probably ends up in prison with many other of Salieri's gangsters. Vincenzo can be killed in the Just For Relaxation mission and the game won't end, probably because it's the last time Vincenzo appears in the game.

Ralph

B.November 30, 1901

Introduced in: Molotov Party

Ralph is excellent when it comes to dealing with vehicles. He can take apart, repair, improve and then rebuild whatever he gets his hands on and that is about it. His world revolves around anything on four wheels, and he knows little about anything else. That is why he will only talk about vehicles, though even conversations about vehicles are not easy for him; as he stutters.

Don Morello

B. December 31, 1877 D.October 3, 1935 (Age 57)

Introduced in: Intermezzo 1.

Killed in: Cremé dé la Cremé.

Salieri's main adversary, Don of the Morello family, and the story's secondary antagonist. Where Salieri opts for negotiation, Morello uses an army of men with Thompsons. Where Salieri punishes treachery, Morello indiscriminately shows his might. Because of this he has a big influence in the city, which he is trying to extend into Salieri family territory. He is greatly helped by his brother Sergio. However, he ultimately destroys everything he's involved in through his overly brutal behavior. Him and Salieri used to work for Don Peppone as his right hand men but upon the death of their Don, they split up Lost Heaven and each ruled their sections on their own. There are three alternative death scenes for Morello. One he is shot down in a plane by Tommy; the second his car drives off a bridge and the third one is when he dies on the road.

Lucas Bertone

B.February 14, 1901

Introduced in: Fairplay

Lucas is a pleasant Sicilian of middle age, a car mechanic for the rich. He is very bighearted even though, in view of the services he provides to the Mafia, he is no saint. The player is able to kill him during the mission "The Death Of Art" without any consequences, but there is no reason in the plot to do that.

Luigi

B.December 27, 1875

Introduced in: First seen closing up the bar in 'The Running Man'. From 'Molotov Party' onwards Tommy can interact with him . n who has many a conversation with Tommy. He appears in nearly every mission, behind the bar, waiting for customers. He usually tells Tommy to check back later, when they can have an interesting and informative conversation.

Sarah

B.October 2, 1906

Introduced in: Sarah (though she is first seen working at the bar in 'Fairplay'.

Luigi's daughter. Tommy escorts her home in "Sarah" and protects her from a street gang. Sarah then invites Tommy in to her apartment at the end of the mission, where they have sex. In conversations with Frank and Paulie, Tommy expresses some doubt on whether he will be able to maintain any future relationship with Sarah while he is working for Don Salieri, committing crimes and murdering rivals. However they develop a relationship which evolves throughout the game and eventually they get married and have a daughter. This relationship blossoms in "Sarah," and is touched on in other missions, such as "A Trip To The Country" and in the epilogue. Sarah appears for a moment after the race in the Fairplay mission. Sarah also appears in "The Running man " as a passenger in front of the hospital. Sarah is most likely a reference to Lorraine Bracco's character Karen Hill in the 1990 movie Goodfellas.

Bobby

B.June 14, 1900

Introduced in: Fairplay

The gate guard for the City of Lost Heaven racing track night shift and a friend of Ralph. His assistance is needed in the mission "Fairplay" where Tommy is required to steal a racing car from the track and bring to Bertone, so that he can sabotage it to ensure that the car loses the race.

Michelle

B.October 31, 1909 D.August 27, 1938 (Age 28)

Introduced in: Fairplay

Killed in: Sam mentions in 'The Death of Art' that he has killed her though he does not mention the precise time.

She is a prostitute and a good friend of Tommy's wife Sarah. She congratulates Tommy after his win in "Fairplay" and turns out to be "The Whore" in mission 8, which has the same name. Frank tells Tommy that Michelle has been leaking information to Morello which has cost Salieri money and men. When Tommy finds her having a bath in her room at the brothel, she begs with Tom not to kill her and explains that Morello had threatened to kill her brother and she decided to save his life by providing Morello with information on Salieri (though this explanation is difficult to hear due to an inner monologue by Tommy at exactly the same time). Under Tommy's request, she leaves the city, never to return; however in "The Death of Art" it is revealed that she has returned to the city. Her reappearance makes the Salieri family suspicious of Tommy and leads to their discovery that Tommy let Frank escape.

Big Biff

B.July 1, 1886

Introduced in: Better Get Used To It

An informant for the Salieri Family who usually hangs out in Chinatown. He informs the player of the gang's base of operations in "Better get used to it" and tries to help the player find Frank in "Omerta". In the 'You Lucky Bastard' mission Don Salieri mentions that Biff informed him of Sergio's mistress, who is later killed in a botched assassination attempt to kill Sergio by planting a bomb under his car.

Little Tony

B.December 25, 1899

Introduced in: Omertà

Is always loafing on the Central Island, near the Museum. He's a good stoolie, and he has connections with the cops and in the court. There is also a dog during the mission that hangs around near where Little Tony is .

Billy

B.August 11, 1911 D. June 12, 1932 (Age 21)

Introduced in: Sarah.

Killed in : Better Get Used to It.

A street punk who harasses and sexually assaults Sarah on her way home from working at Salieri's bar. Tommy hunts him down in the mission "Better Get Used To It." However, as he is the son of an important politician, his death creates quite a commotion, and a problem for Tommy. Though Billy was actually shot to death by Paulie, all the other characters accuse Tommy of his murder.

Johnny

B.February 13, 1910 D.June 16, 1932 (Age 22)

Introduced in: Better Get Used To It.

Killed in: "The Priest"

This friend of Billy's somehow lives though his ordeal with Tommy in "Better Get Used To It" and brings the councilor and all of the corrupt politicians down hard on Salieri. He is seen again after Tommy, through pure coincidence, stumbles into the church where Billy's funeral is being held. Though he vanished from the Church after identifying Tommy, his death may have been insinuated in the gun fight that followed as he may have been represented by one of the generic gangsters that Tommy kills in the church. Later when Salieri tells Tommy that the City Counsellor must be killed after "the boy". This may be reference to Salieri wanting Johnny killed.

Joe

B.September 1, 1887

Introduced in: Omertà

A reluctant informant who gives Tommy a ton of snappy backtalk before telling him about Frank and the accounting books in "Omerta." He can be found not far from Lucas Bertone's shop, under the Giuliano Bridge with 2 other men. Shooting him or beating him with a bat will get him to talk.

Salvatore

B.May 1, 1900

Introduced in: Visiting Rich People.

Salvatore is the best lock picker in the city. He aids Tommy in the mission "Visiting Rich People" by opening the gate, the safe in the office, and the Prosecutor's Silver Fletcher. During the mission "Visiting Rich People", Tommy can give "WAIT!" and "FOLLOW ME!" orders to Salvatore. Salvatore is also rarely sometimes slow to follow Tommy around during that mission.

William "Bill" Gates

B.April 5, 1895 D.1933 (age 38)

Introduced / Killed in: A Great Deal.

Whether or not any pun is aimed at Microsoft's multi-billion dollar former CEO is unknown. In this game, Bill is introduced as a whiskey dealer from Kentucky who arranges a deal with Paulie. His part is very minor, as he gets shot almost immediately after Tommy meets him. However, it turns out that he is not from Kentucky. In fact, he is just a small time thief who stole from Morello, which is why the gangsters came to hunt him down.

Pepe

B.Juny 03, 1888

Introduced in: Bon Appetit.

Pepe is the owner of a fine Italian Bar and Pizzeria in New Ark. His restaurant is the personal favorite dining spot of Don Salieri. In the mission "Bon Appetit!" Tommy accompanies the Don for a lunch at Pepe's, though the situation turns rapidly downhill once they finish their meal as Morello's men pull up and destroy the restaurant in an assassination attempt on Don Salieri's life. However, Pepe survives the ordeal, and receives some money from Don Salieri to fix up his restaurant.

Carlo

B.September 14, 1894 D.June 30, 1935 (age 40)

Introduced / Killed in: Bon Appetit.

Salieri's double-crossing driver. He called in sick the day when Morello attempted to assassinate Salieri. Tommy hunts him down for retribution. Again, there is no mention as to whether or not this is the same Carlo as Lucas' friend who wants Tommy to beat up Stan in "Omerta." He is a reference to Paulie Gatto, a character in The Godfather who called in sick the day and informed for a rival family and his Don, Vito Corleone was nearly killed in an assassination attempt. Paulie is later shot three times in the back of the head in a car later in the film

The City Councilor

B.July 14, 1885 D.July 14, 1935 (age 50)

Introduced in: The Priest

Killed in: Happy Birthday

Morello helped him get into politics and is therefore a big supporter and friend of the Morello Family. He is also Billy's father. Frank first mentions the city councilor in mission, "The Whore" and he is later seen attending Billy's funeral in "The Priest".

As a friend of the mayor, the city councilor is a continual thorn in Salieri's side. Later Tommy infiltrates his birthday party on a steamboat and publicly assassinates him as he speaks of his plans to catch the man who murdered his son during a speech before his guests. His death can be referred to the scene in the 1972 hit The Godfather. Micheal retrieves a weapon in the bathroom knowing he would be checked before the dinner, only to come back and shoot the rivals at his table.

This is a major event in the chain of Salieri's attack on those who associate with Morello as the implications of this would mean the general power of the two families were now roughly equal.

Sergio Morello Jr.

B.August 4, 1882 D.August 16, 1935 (age 53)

Introduced in: Bon Appetit.

Killed in: You Lucky Bastard.

Sergio Morello Jr. is the younger brother and right-hand man of Salieri's rival Don. His uncanny ability to avoid death becomes evident in the mission "You Lucky Bastard" where Tommy is sent to kill him. The campaign to kill to Sergio therefore becomes the longest and drawn out series of missions in the game. This is another major event in the chain, as it marks the death of one of Morello's closest accomplices who had control of the unions in the city; his and essentially Don Morrello's biggest assets were the dockers union which of course was a very useful trump card. This liquidation paved the way for a complete Salieri family controlled Lost Heaven.

Yellow Pete

B.September 30, 1870

Introduced in: Moonlighting.

A one-armed gunsmith who, despite being off the beaten path, is helpful to the game. Although the player only has access to his shop in the last few missions, his arsenal of weapons is very helpful when trying to beat said missions. His shop (though not his body) remains in Freeride mode and is a source of purchasing new weaponry. His shop can be found in the parking lot behind the Twister theater in Western Hoboken. Tommy is able to kill Yellow Pete and his bodyguard after getting weapons from him for the last mission. In fact, both Yellow Pete and his bodyguard can be shot already in the Moonlighting mission and remarkably they are both alive and well in the next mission which is The Death Of Art.

Lucas' Friends

Introduced in the following missions: 'A Trip to the Country', 'Omertà', 'You Lucky Bastard', 'Election Campaign' and 'Moonlighting'.

There are a number of side quests that Lucas sends Tommy on, who in return is taught how to break into nicer and more elusive vehicles. Some of these missions involve doing a favor for his friends. The first one requires Tommy to warn one someone that the cops are coming for him. The second requires Tommy to beat up a guy named 'Big Stan' on behalf of Lucas' friend Carlo. Other missions include picking up Lucas' friends, one of them whose been shot, and driving them to the house of a doctor; picking up a friend before he is arrested by police; tailing a woman as she makes her way to a guy that owes Lucas money; dumping a car that is being looked for by police, off a cliff; and delivering a package to a guy named 'Big Dick', who later help to defeat some gangsters.

Doctor

B. February 12, 1900

Introduced in: A Trip to the Country

In this mission Sam is captured by the Morello's men and the police, who have created an alliance to destroy Salieri, and is nearly tortured to death. After Paulie and Tom rescue him he is taken to the house of the Family's doctor. In a sub quest offered by Lucas, Tommy must collect two of Lucas' friends, one of whom has been shot, and drive them to the same doctor.

Priest

B.June 1, 1878

Introduced in: The Priest

After Tommy interrupts Billy's funeral and massacres all the gangsters in the church, he tries to convince the Priest that they were bad people and deserved to die. He gives the Priest money to repair the damage done during the gunfight and asks him to pray for Tommy's soul.

Marge and Alice Colletti

Marge: B. March 25, 1890 Alice: B. January 4, 1925

Introduced in: Omertà

Frank's wife and daughter who have been detained by the police, who promise to release them and relocate them to Europe with Frank if he gives the FBI sensitive information on Salieri. After Tommy rescues them they join Frank on the flight to the Europe.

Louie and Associate

Introduced in / Killed in: The Running Man

Two members of the Morello Family who hunt down Tommy after he saves Paulie and Sam in the first mission. After finding Tommy, one of the gangsters (referred to as Louie by his friend) smashes Tommy's cab up with a bat, while the other (who is unnamed but does all the talking) beats Tommy up. Tommy escapes through back alleys, but they chase him all the way to Salieri's bar. After following Tommy inside they are executed by two Salieri gangsters, and their bodies are later removed in a truck.

The Public Prosecutor

Introduced in: Visiting Rich People

A friend of The City Counsellor who is building up a case against Salieri, who sends Tommy and Salvatore to his villa and steal incriminating evidence. He arrives at the villa as Salvatore is breaking into the safe in his office and will not raise the alarm as long as Tommy hasn't killed anyone. In his bedroom Tommy can meet Mrs. Public Prosecutor, who is wearing a facial mask and therefore cannot see that Tommy is not her husband and call him "darling" and ask how his day was.

Thugs and Dock Workers

Introduced in: Bon Apetit

While Morello and Sergio discuss the failed assassination on Salieri, Sergio's thugs beat a dock worker in the background. The dock worker, who wanted to strike without Sergio's permission, insults Morello to his face. At the end of the scene Sergio tells his thugs to kill him and dump his body in the ocean.

Police Officers

Introduced / Killed in: A Trip to the Country

Now cooperating with Morello to destroy the Salieri Family, two police officers confront Tommy after he finds some of his associates dead. After a few lines of dialogue they open fire.

Don Peppone

B.May 22, 1854 D. September 21, 1920 (age 66)

Introduced in: Intermezzo 4.

The Don under whom both Morello and Salieri served in the early parts of their lives. Tommy mentions him to Norman during "Intermezzo 4". He was the most prominent and influential person before he was killed, when Morello and Salieri stuffed up a deal back in the early 1920s.

Mr. Sewer

B.September 1, 1880 D. September 11, 1938 (age 58) Introduced / Killed in: Election Campaign

A very minor character who is never confronted face-to-face like the other characters and has no dialogue. However, his assassination is the central focus of the 'Election Campaign' level, where Salieri has Tommy snipe the politician during a public speech in the park, from the tower of an old dilapidated jail which has become headquarters to an unknown armed group of thugs.

Money Thief

B.October 27, 1901 D. October 23, 1930 (age 28) Introduced / Killed in: Ordinary Routine

Also a very minor character who appears in only one mission at Clark's Motel, where Tommy, Sam and Paulie come to collect protection money. He works for Morello and tried to steal the money, but is chased and killed by Tommy. There are few deaths for this guy: the one is when Tommy kills him in a drive-by, second is when he flips his car over and dies and third is when his car is very damaged. He will then get out and try to kill Tommy, but player has a choice of either getting out of car and shooting the thief, or driving him over with a car. It is also possible to avoid the car chase by shooting the wheels off his car prior to entering the motel. This will see him stand outside the motel, near his damaged vehicle, shooting at Tommy.

Mafia II

Vito Scaletta

Born: May 2, 1925

Vito Scaletta is the protagonist of the game. He turned to a life of crime after his father, an alcoholic, died leaving his numerous debts unpaid. After being arrested for a botched robbery, Vito avoids incarceration by volunteering for military service in World War II; the opening chapter of the game revolved around his involvement during the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943. He then spent a few more years in service before getting injured and returning to Empire Bay and resuming a life of crime alongside his best friend, Joe Barbaro. It has been confirmed that he is one of the mobsters seen at the end of Mafia: City of Lost Heaven accompanying the fat mobster, confirmed to be Joe Barbaro, in the murder of Tommy Angelo.

Joe Barbaro

Born: November 16, 1924

Introduced in: Home Sweet Home

Possibly killed: Following the last mission 'Per Aspera Ad Astra"

Joe Barbaro is Vito's best friend and accomplice. He was in most ways a polar opposite of Vito, with the latter keeping his friend's wild, rowdy behaviour in check. When Vito returns home on leave from the war, Joe, with the help of his connections to the mob, gives him forged discharge documents to ensure that Vito doesn't have to return. After Vito's father died, Joe helps Vito find work to settle his father's debts before the loan sharks come after his family. Joe and Vito become 'Made Men' in the Falcone crime family at some point in 1951.

It is then revealed that he killed Tommy Angelo at the end of Mafia: City of Lost Heaven. His fate remains uncertain, although it is implied that Leo Galante had him killed, as he wasn't a "part of the deal" he made with Vito in chapter 15 (Per Aspera Ad Astra).

Henry Tomasino

Born: July 15, 1911. Died: September 24, 1951 (40)

Introduced in: Enemy of the State;

Killed in: Exit the Dragon - Savaged brutally by the chinese in the middle of the park.

Henry is a soldato in the Clemente Crime Family, in caporegime Luca Gurino's faction. When Vito and Joe first become involved in the mafia, they do jobs for Clemente through Henry. Henry is a very reserved person who keeps to himself. He has very few friends, and he does not talk much about himself and his life. One of the few times he did mention something about his life, he told Vito and Joe that his father was a high-ranking member of the mafia in Sicily and that he sent Henry as a young man to the States in order to escape Mussolini's regime. There are clues that he fabricated this story, because Vito wonders why Henry speaks English without a trace of a Sicilian accent. It is probable that Henry came to the United States much earlier than he claims (as a young child), or that he was even born in the States, (his parents immigrating from Sicily before his birth). Another thing we know about Henry is that he was married, but his wife died. It is unknown how or when she died and if her death had anything to do with him choosing to become an informant. After his boss, Clemente is killed, Henry persuades Vito to vouch for him so he can enter the Falcone Family. After Henry joins the Falcone Family, he persuades Vito and Joe into making a drug deal with him. He borrows money from a loan shark so he could buy drugs from the Tongs (Chinese criminal organization). Later it's revealed that Henry was an FBI informant/Office of Narcotic (a rat), so the entire drug deal was probably a sting operation, giving Henry the hard evidence he needed to incriminate both the Tongs and the Falcone Family. With the Feds closing in, the Tongs fear arrest and brutually murder Henry at Lincoln Park a few days after the drug deal. It is unclear whether Henry was an undercover federal agent, and therefore never a real mobster at all, or whether he was in fact a mobster who turned into an informant. If he was an informant, it is clear he must have turned into one years before, and had been one since before Vito and Joe first meet him. Various clues such as his sketchy background story, his reluctance to kill during his contracts,Leo Galante claim, and the fact that he knows a great deal of information about the various criminal organizations in Empire Bay, strongly suggest that Henry had been a "rat" since before he ever met Vito and Joe. Henry is a well reserved man and has few friends. His sole motivation is pride

Leo Galante

Born: c.1887

Introduced in: Time Well Spent

Consigliere to Frank Vinci. He helps Vito in prison, teaching him how to fight and cutting four years from his sentence, becoming a father figure to Vito. Marked down for death by Falcone, Vito attempts to warn Leo of his upcoming assassination by Henry. Two different outcomes are possible: If Vito is seen by Henry, he cuts a deal with him to let Leo live, if he's not, they just drive off without Henry knowing it was Vito who came to Leo's rescue.
