==Character History== | |||
===Life until 1998=== | |||
[[File:SalvatoreLeone&MariaLatoreGTASA.jpg|left|thumb|Maria and [[Salvatore Leone]] at [[Caligula's Palace]], [[Las Venturas]].]] | |||
Maria Latore was born in an unknown location, quite possibly in [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], and later moved to [[Las Venturas]] and became a waitress at the [[Sindacco Family]] run [[Caligula's Palace]] casino. Later, after the [[Leone Family|Leone]] and [[Forelli Family|Forelli]] families invest money into the casino, she meets and begins a relationship with Leone [[Boss|Don]] [[Salvatore Leone]]. At some point between [[1992]] and [[1998]] she marries Salvatore and moves into his [[Salvatore's Gentlemen's Club|home]] in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]], before moving out into her own [[Maria Latore's Apartment|apartment]] in the same [[Saint Mark's|district]]. | |||
She also | ===1998=== | ||
In 1998 Maria and Salvatore's marriage is at rock bottom with the two not getting along and living separately, whilst Maria has become addicted to drugs. She has also began to cheat on Salvatore, including with [[Liberty City Bikers|Biker]] leader [[Cedric Fotheringay|Cedric "Wayne" Fotheringay]], something that Salvatore is well aware of and often uses in arguments. She attempts to sell Leone Family secrets to [[Ned Burner]] through e-mails, although the two never reach an agreement on a price. [[Toni Cipriani]] is assigned to chaperone her, often resulting in him rescuing her from trouble, including when she [[Shop 'Til You Strop|robs some stores]], 'winning' Maria in a [[Booby Prize|street race]], [[Biker Heat]] killing Wayne after he had attacked her, and saving her life to [[Overdose of Trouble|stop her overdosing]]. She shows romantic feelings toward Toni, who constantly declines her requests, although it takes her to realise that he has no money before she decides to stay with Salvatore: "I'm Salvatore's girl! He's loaded!" | |||
=== | ===Life until 2001=== | ||
In [[2001]] | In [[2001]] she remains married to Salvatore Leone and has seemingly moved back in with him, although their relationship is still at rock bottom, with Maria only remaining with Salvatore for his money. She is introduced to [[Claude]], who she calls "Fido" by Salvatore who asks him to chaperone her for an evening. Maria, still addicted to drugs, has Claude take her to drug dealer [[Chico]], who informs her of an illegal party at a warehouse in [[Atlantic Quays]]. Claude takes her to the party and successfully manages to return her to Salvatore's home after being chased by the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|Liberty City Police Department]]. Maria later tells Salvatore that she and Claude have entered into a relationship, resulting in Salvatore attempting to [[Last Requests|kill]] Claude with a bomb-laden [[Mafia Sentinel]]. Maria, however, pages Claude and has him meet her at a small dock in [[Callahan Point]]. She introduces Claude to her old friend [[Asuka Kasen]] and the three flee to [[Staunton Island]]. | ||

Asuka later hires Claude to kill Salvatore, resulting in Maria becoming a widow. Maria and Asuka later go on a holiday to avoid a [[Paparazzi Purge|paparazzi]] following Asuka, whilst Asuka also [[Payday For Ray|ties Maria up]]. Maria and Asuka later begin to torture [[Miguel]] to extract information about the [[Colombian Cartel|Colombian Cartels]] operations. [[Catalina]], however, kills Asuka and Miguel, kidnapping Maria and taking her to [[Shoreside Vale]], demanding Claude pay a [[Dollar|$]]500,000 [[Ransom (GTA III)|ransom]]. Claude pays the ransom at the [[Cartel Mansion|Cartels headquarters]] but is ambushed by the Cartel. Claude kills the Cartel members and follows Catalina to [[Cochrane Dam]], destroying her [[Helicopter (GTA III)|helicopter]] with a [[Rocket Launcher|rocket launcher]] and rescuing Maria. The two begin to walk away from the scene with Maria talking continuously as the screen fades to black, at which point a gunshot is heard. | |||
== Personality == | ==Personality== | ||
Maria is secure about her looks, although she has no control over herself, using drugs (and at one point almost overdosing) and spending a lot of Salvatore's money. Despite her ability to get money, she also [[Shop 'Til You Strop|shoplifts]], leaving the trouble to either Salvatore or Toni Cipriani. She is also very dominating, a nymphomaniac, and perceives Salvatore's most trusted henchmen as lapdogs, calling them "fido" (as is the case with [[Claude]] in GTA III and [[Toni Cipriani]] in GTA Liberty City Stories<!--Cellphone call when player is first introduced to Maria's missions-->). | Maria is secure about her looks, although she has no control over herself, using drugs (and at one point almost [[Overdose of Trouble|overdosing]]) and spending a lot of Salvatore's money.

Maria holds an interest in leopard skin furniture, which she references on Chatterbox FM in GTA III and is evident in her clothing in GTA Liberty City Stories. | ==Trivia== | ||
[[File:MariaLatoreGTALCS.jpg|right|thumb|Maria Latore, in her leopard skin outfit, in [[GTA Liberty City Stories]].]] | |||
*Maria's fate is left ambiguous by [[Rockstar Games]], who refuse to state whether the gunshot from Claude was to kill Maria or to simply silence her. | |||
*Maria can be heard of [[Chatterbox FM]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] discussing [[Claude]], stating that "he don't talk too much". This appearance appears throughout the game, including before she meets Claude and after her possible death, due to the radio stations being played on a loop. | |||
