Sonny Forelli: Difference between revisions

Sonny Forelli was born in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. He became the [[Boss|Don]] of the [[Forelli Family]] at a young age according to the [[Vice City Police Department]] criminal files. By [[1971]] Sonny had at least a prominent role in the Forelli Family, leading [[Tommy Vercetti]] in an ambush in [[Harwood]] (located in Liberty City), telling Tommy he was to assassinate a key mobster. Tommy survived the ambush but was arrested by the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|Liberty City Police Department]] and imprisoned. Sonny continued in his various illegal activities, which by [[1986]] are believed to be rackeetering, gambling, unions, corruption and prostitution, making the Forelli family the most powerful Mafia family at that time.  

Sonny also begins to make connections to people in other cities around the world, including [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] based lawyer [[Ken Rosenberg]], who he uses to set up a narcotics deal between his representatives and the [[Vance Crime Family]], wanting his family to enter the very profitable drugs trade in Vice City. Sonny decides to send Tommy Vercetti, as he is too well known in Liberty City, and pulls strings to free him from prison. Tommy, who is suspicious of Sonny's actions, decides to go along with Sonny's plans.

Sonny, in sending Tommy to Vice City, hopes that he will establish a drugs trading business in the city, which he and the Forelli Family could later take over. Sonny sends [[Harry]] and [[Lee]] with Tommy to do the deal in [[Viceport]], which is ambushed by [[Ricardo Diaz|Ricardo Diaz']] [[Diaz's Gang|men]], resulting in Tommy losing Sonny's money, the drugs and the deaths of Harry and Lee, as well as [[Victor Vance]]. Tommy later [[An Old Friend|informs]] Sonny of the ambush, with Sonny reacting angrily, seemingly holding Tommy responsible for the recovery of the money regardless of whose fault it was.

 

 

Tommy, expecting Sonny to arrive after his collectors were killed, prepares to give Sonny counterfeit money printed at his [[Vice City Print Works|print works]]. Sonny, however, reveals that [[Lance Vance]], Tommy's friend, has joined forces with him and informed him of Tommy and Ken Rosenberg's plan. Being forwarned about Tommy's deception, Sonny came to the Vercetti estate prepared with a large number of gunmen to take over the business for the Forelli Family.

 

A [[Keep Your Friends Close...|huge gun fight erupts]], during which Sonny finally confirms the Tommy's suspicions that he was set up in 1971. The shoootout concludes with the deaths of Lance and Sonny, alongside countless Forelli Family mobsters.
