Rocco Pelosi: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:36, 8 November 2009

Rocco Pelosi (b. ?) is a member of the Ancelotti crime family, in Liberty City. Rocco is often seen with an older gangster, named Vince.

During the course of the game, it is revealed that "Gay" Tony Prince is in debt to Rocco (or possibly a higher figure), which results in Luis Lopez and Tony doing criminal favours for Rocco, to lessen the debt. Instead, Rocco allows only a little of the debt to be erased and continues to pressure Tony. This drives Tony to purchase smuggled diamonds, in the hopes of paying off the Ancelottis, but instead only attracts unwanted attention from other criminals, which leads to Gracie Ancelotti's kidnapping. Giovanni Ancelotti, boss of the Ancelotti crime family, blames Rocco for coming down too hard on Tony, and he is further angered when powerful Russian mobster Rodislav Bulgarin claims the diamonds are rightfully his and that he plans to eliminate whoever was involved in the circumstances leading to their purchase. A desperate Rocco contacts Luis and asks him to kill Tony, as presenting Ancelotti with a body would appease everyone and would give Luis control of the clubs. Luis ultimately sides with Tony and kills Vince, who was with Rocco during the supposed execution of Tony. Rocco is spared because he is a made man.

He is voiced by Greg Siff.

-'''Rocco Pelosi''' was a low level mafioso working for the [[Ancelotti Family]] and [[Gay Tony]] owed him money. He told [[Triad Boss|a Chinese gangster]] about [[Luis Lopez]] and Tony during [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] and he asked them to get a drinking license for a club the Triads were about to open. They refused and a shootout occured between Luis and the triads. The second job was at the [[Algonquin]] golf club where a union official was being interrogated by Rocco, who ordered Luis to hit golf balls at him from a certain distance. The interrogation was interrupted by several [[Cavalcade]]'s full of [[Messina Family]] enforcers and Tony, Rocco and Luis escaped on golf caddies, one with the union official strapped to the front. [[Bang Bang|One job]] involved Luis travelling the city, planting sticky bombs on cranes, subway trains and planes.
+During the course of the game, it is revealed that [[Tony Prince|"Gay" Tony Prince]] is in debt to Rocco (or possibly a higher figure), which results in [[Luis Lopez]] and Tony doing criminal favours for Rocco, to lessen the debt. Instead, Rocco allows only a little of the debt to be erased and continues to pressure Tony. This drives Tony to purchase smuggled diamonds, in the hopes of paying off the Ancelottis, but instead only attracts unwanted attention from other criminals, which leads to [[Gracie Ancelotti]]'s kidnapping. [[Giovanni Ancelotti]], boss of the Ancelotti crime family, blames Rocco for coming down too hard on Tony, and he is further angered when powerful Russian mobster [[Rodislav Bulgarin]] claims the diamonds are rightfully his and that he plans to eliminate whoever was involved in the circumstances leading to their purchase. A desperate Rocco contacts Luis and asks him to kill Tony, as presenting Ancelotti with a body would appease everyone and would give Luis control of the clubs. Luis ultimately sides with Tony and kills Vince, who was with Rocco during the supposed execution of Tony. Rocco is spared because he is a made man.
-He and his friend [[Uncle Vince]] were talking with [[Giovanni Ancelotti]] after the [[Diamonds]] case and so did [[Ray Bulgarin]], therefore Rocco was forced to make a decision. Kill Gay Tony or Luis. He and Vince met with Luis and persuaded him to kill Tony, telling him that it would be better and they could run the clubs. Rocco and Vince got to Tony before Luis and were eager for him to kill Tony. Luis was passed a handgun and apologised to his close friend and mentor before pulling the trigger-on Vince. Rocco wasn't killed by Luis due to the fact he was a made man, and he escaped alive however he is killed soon after this as he tries to escape on a plane with Bulgarin.
