'''Salvatore Leone''' is a recurring character in the [[GTA III Era|3D Universe]] who appears as a main character in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], a supporting character in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and a main character in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. He is the [[Gang Leaders|Don]] of the [[Leone Family]], father of [[Joey Leone]] and husband of [[Maria Latore]]. He is voiced by [[Frank Vincent]] in each appearance.<ref name="Frank Vincent"/>

Salvatore Leone was born in Palermo, Sicily and also had a brother<ref name="Mid 1980s"/>, as well as a cousin to whom he was close.<ref name="Cousin Leone"/> He later immigrated to the [[United States of America|United States]] and settled in a [[Salvatore's Gentlemen's Club|mansion]] in [[Saint Mark's]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. He also had a wife and son, [[Joey Leone|Joey]], although it is unknown when he met his wife or when they had their son. It is presumed, however, that she died prior to [[1992]] as Salvatore is seen flirting with his future wife, [[Maria Latore]]. In the mid 1980s he took control of the [[Leone Family]] after a power struggle<ref name="Mid 1980s"/>. During this time he and his [[Uncle Leone|uncle]] began to distrust each other, possibly due to him becoming Don.

===Life in 1992===

During the events leading up to ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', Salvatore meets [[Johnny Sindacco]], of the [[Sindacco Family]], and agrees to give him [[Money|$]]5 million to invest in [[Caligula's Palace]], a casino and hotel in [[Las Venturas]], and takes a one-third ownership alongside the [[Forelli Family]]. He is at first reluctant to give Johnny the money, because a Sindacco previously killed a cousin of his. During the negotiations, Salvatore gains control of the books and also successfully suggests disbarred former lawyer [[Ken Rosenberg|Ken "Rosie" Rosenberg]] as being the man to run the business, knowing that as a recovering drug addict he will be easy to manipulate. He later flies to Las Venturas to run the business, telling Rosie that he wanted his money back quickly, making it clear that he was in charge. While in Las Venturas, he meets and befriends Rosie's affiliate, [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]], who had [[The Introduction|worked for Joey in a car theft ring in Liberty City at some point]] between [[1987]] and [[1992]]. After being vouched for by Rosie, Carl is employed to [[Freefall|kill four Forelli gangsters]] flying into the city to kill Salvatore. Salvatore, satisfied with his abilities, hires Carl to [[Saint Mark's Bistro|perform a hit]] at [[Marco's Bistro]] in Liberty City. During this time, however, Carl is planning to perform a heist at the casino and helps Rosie and his accomplices, record producer [[Kent Paul|Kent "Pablo"]] and British singer-musician [[Maccer]], escape. Carl later [[Breaking the Bank at Caligula's|performs the heist]] with the [[San Fierro Triads]], who run a [[The Four Dragons Casino|rival casino]], resulting in a furious Salvatore [[Mobile Phone|phoning]] him and threatening to kill him and his family.  

During his time in Las Venturas, he also starts a relationship with one of the casino's waitresses, [[Maria Latore]]. They first meet when she delivers a sandwich to him in his office, and she sasses him even though he owns the casino. However, she quickly warms up to him, and they had their first date a few days later - throwing large knives at [[Maccer]] in the same office. They seem mutually attracted to each other, and Salvatore impresses her by smoothly hitting a bull's-eye with his back completely turned, as Maccer is unharmed.

Salvatore Leone, at some point after [[1992]] and presumably shortly after the [[Breaking the Bank at Caligula's|heist]], returns to Liberty City with his girlfriend Maria. The two later get married and she moves in to his [[Salvatore's Gentlemen's Club|mansion]]. The relationship, however, quickly deteriorates and she [[Maria Latore's Apartment|moves out]]. Salvatore's role at Caligula's Palace and the result of his investment remain unknown, as Salvatore never discusses the issue. During this time he also gets to know [[Toni Cipriani]], who performs a hit on a rival made man before going into hiding for four years, and [[Vincenzo Cilli]], who rises up through the gang to take Cipriani's place. He also meets union boss [[Jane Hopper]], who agrees to give Salvatore and his men access to the [[Portland Harbor|harbor]] while the workers strike, and also [[Miguel]] of the [[Colombian Cartel]] who begins supplying drugs to the Leone Family. The Leone Family also lose control of parts of the [[Red Light District]], forcing [[Luigi Goterelli]] to lose his [[Sex Club Seven|club]] to the [[Sindacco Family]].

In late [[1998]] Salvatore welcomes [[Toni Cipriani]] back to [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] and into the gang after four years of hiding. He assigns him to [[Vincenzo Cilli]], who had claimed Toni's place in the gang. The two immediately dislike each other but continue to work together under Salvatore's orders, eventually [[Hot Wheels (GTA LCS)|splitting after Vincenzo attempted to set him up]]. Toni [[The Portland Chainsaw Masquerade|later kills]] Vincenzo, seemingly with Salvatore's approval. Salvatore later begins to work with [[Joseph Daniel O'Toole]], the manager of [[Paulie's Revue Bar]] and a Sindacco Family member, gaining valuable information on the gangs plans, although he is [[Don in 60 Seconds|almost arrested]] by the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|police]] at the club. He later has Toni [[The Offer|meet]] union boss [[Jane Hopper]], [[Ho Selecta!|encouraging her]] [[Frighteners|and her associates]] to [[Rollercoaster Ride|give them access]] to the harbor, allowing Toni to meet [[Miguel]] to [[Contra-Banned|purchase drugs]], although the deal is ambushed by the police.

 

The Leone Family, having [[The Guns of Leone|gained more control]] of the Red Light District when Salvatore personally led an attack to kill the Sindacco mobsters in the neighbourhood, are later [[Sindacco Sabotage|attacked]] by the [[Diablos]] but with help from Toni maintain control of the neighbourhood and [[Hepburn Heights]]. Toni, however, concedes that they will lose control of Hepburn Heights, which [[2001|subsequently]] happens. The Diablos, working with the Sicilian Mafia, are joined by the [[Portland Triads|Triads]] in attacking Leone interests, as the Triads [[The Trouble With Triads|destroy]] a Leone controlled warehouse in [[Callahan Point]]. Salvatore, realising that [[Mayoralty of Liberty City in GTA III Era|Mayor]] [[Roger C. Hole]] wants to blame him for all the crime in the city, [[Driving Mr. Leone|flees his mansion and evades the police]], living on [[Staunton Island]], despite threatening Toni with a gun for allegedly insulting Salvatore. Salvatore, angry at the Mayor's actions, has Toni [[A Walk in the Park|kill the Mayor]] on his morning run in [[Belleville Park]] and steals his [[Mobile Phone|phone]], learning that the [[Forelli Family]] had [[Caught in the Act|controlled the Mayor]]. After this, helping him escape arrest twice and rescuing him after being kidnapped, Salvatore [[Making Toni|makes Toni a made man]], which also results in [[Ma Cipriani|Toni's mother]] calling off a hit she [[No Son of Mine|placed on her son]].

 

Shortly afterwards, Salvatore sends Toni to work for [[Donald Love]], who Salvatore's wants to become Mayor in order to gain more control in the political world of the city. Toni [[Steering the Vote|attempts to help]], [[Cam-Pain|Donald Love's campaign]], including [[Friggin' the Riggin'|an attempt to]] [[Counterfeit Count|rig the election]], although their attempts fail and [[Miles O'Donovan]] is elected after Love's [[Love on the Rocks|connections to Toni and Salvatore are discovered]] by the press. Salvatore continues to deploy, especially after Love becomes bankrupt, and [[Search and Rescue|rescues him]] from a Sindacco hit on a Forelli mobster in [[Fort Staunton]]. The Forelli and Sindacco families later attempt to reconcile but their meeting is [[Taking the Peace|disrupted]] by Toni on Salvatore's orders, quickly followed by [[Shoot the Messenger|killing a wiseguy]] about to expose the Sicilian Mafia to [[Franco Forelli]], the [[Gang Leaders|Don]] of the Forelli Family.

 

Toni also begins to work for [[Leon McAffrey]], a corrupt police officer, on Salvatore's orders and helps [[Sayonara Sindaccos|weaken the Sindaccos]] and [[Crazy '69'|Forellis]] hold on the island, including the [[Uptown Yardies]] [[The Whole 9 Yardies|gaining]] and [[Night of the Livid Dreads|maintaining]] control of [[Newport]]. During this time Salvatore is arrested and moved to the police station in [[Shoreside Vale]] but continues meeting Toni, [[Lawyer Outfit|disguised]] as Salvatore's lawyer Lionel, and has him use the [[Southside Hoods]] to [[Rough Justice|remove the Forelli's]] from [[Wichita Gardens]]. [[Paulie Sindacco]], the [[Gang Leaders|Don]] of the [[Sindacco Family]], is also killed by Toni on orders from Salvatore, and the [[Yakuza]], an emerging threat on Staunton Island, have their [[Rhino|tank]] [[Shogun Showdown|stolen]] by Toni. Toni begins working for [[Toshiko Kasen]], seemingly without Salvatore's knowledge, and helps weaken the Yakuza, and again with Donald Love, [[Bringing the House Down|destroying]] the [[Fort Staunton]] neighbourhood and weakening the Forelli Family. Salvatore is later taken for trial, is [[The Shoreside Redemption|protected by Toni]] on the way, and is later freed by the court.

 

Salvatore returns to his mansion and decides to take out [[Massimo Torini]], the right-hand man of the gangs leader [[Uncle Leone]]. Salvatore and Toni [[The Sicilian Gambit|successfully manage]] to kill Torini and rescue the Mayor who had been kidnapped, reminding the Mayor that he now worked for the Leone Family. Salvatore, having successfully defeated the Forelli and Sindacco Families and the Sicilian Mafia, discusses the position of the [[Mafia|mafia]] in the city, realising that they had thrown control of the city away to a number of new gangs. Salvatore and Toni, however, celebrate their success at [[Momma's Restaurante]] and meet Salvatore's uncle, who tells Salvatore that "Every dog has his day", a comment ignored by Salvatore.

Between [[1998]], when he was in court before being freed, and [[2001]] he had been tried on four separate occasions, winning each of the cases. He was later put on trial again in April 2001, being accused of tax evasion with [[Money|$]]450,000 in undeclared income, although he wins the case after lawyer [[Maurice Goldberg]] successfully convinces the court that Salvatore is dyslexic and struggled with taxes. He was, however, found guilty of illegally important food stuffs from Sicily without a license, and was fined, as well as having to pay the owed taxes.<ref name="Mid 1980s"/> The [[Liberty Tree]], in July 2001, published articles on [[Joey Leone]], [[Toni Cipriani]] and [[Luigi Goterelli]], publicly suggesting their links to the criminal underworld. The Leone Family also gain full control of the [[Red Light District]] and re-open [[Sex Club Seven]], although the gang do lose their interests on Staunton Island and in Shoreside Vale, as well as [[Hepburn Heights]] to the [[Diablos]]. During this time Maria also moves back in to [[Salvatore's Gentlemen's Club|Salatore's mansion]].

 

The [[Leone Family]], by October [[2001]], were struggling to maintain their control of [[Portland]] due to increased pressure from the [[Portland Triads|Triads]], [[Diablos]] and primarily the [[Colombian Cartel]], who established a secret drug manufacturing plant on a freighter in [[Portland Harbor]]. Despite the problems, Salvatore continues to run the gang from his mansion and is introduced to [[Claude]], a convict who [[Introduction (GTA III)|escaped in a police convoy ambushed by the Cartel]]. Claude attracts the interest of Salvatore's wife [[Maria Latore|Maria]] who he [[Chaperone|escorts to an illegal club before returning her to Salvatore's mansion]]. Salvatore, happy with his work, has him [[Cutting the Grass|follow and kill]] [[Curly Bob]], a bartender at Sex Club Seven, after Claude discovered that he had been selling secrets to the Cartel in return for the drug [[SPANK]].

 

Salvatore later has Claude and [[8-Ball]], who Claude had escaped the convoy with, [[Bomb Da Base Act II|destroy]] the freighter used by the Cartel to manufacture SPANK, which had seemingly gained Claude the respect of Salvatore. Maria, however, had told Salvatore that she had become involved with Claude.<ref name="Claude and Maria">'''Maria Latore''': "Listen Salvatore, thinks that we're going behind his back. So he was offering you to the Cartel, in order to make a deal. I couldn't let him do that, I mean the worst thing is... it's my fault. I told him we were an item, don't ask me why I don't know. Look you're a marked man on Mafia turf and I've got to get out of here to. I've seen too much killing. Too much blood. This is a friend of mine ok, she's an old friend... it's Asuka, she's someone we can trust." (from the [[Last Requests]] mission)</ref> Maria's story, a lie, later led Salvatore to meet and agree to a truce with the Cartel, and to kill Claude with a [[Last Requests|booby trapped car]]. Maria discovers the plot and informs Claude, with the pair fleeing to Staunton Island with [[Yakuza]] co-leader [[Asuka Kasen]], an old friend of Maria's. Asuka, looking for Claude to prove his loyalty to her, has him return to Portland and [[Sayonara Salvatore|kill Salvatore]] after leaving Sex Club Seven.

==Personality==

Salvatore Leone was a very ruthless mob boss and was quick to anger. He had little tolerance for competition and often used hired goons to damage rival gangs. His relationship with his son Joey was not great since he cared more about cars and his auto shop than his father's legacy. He instead favoured Toni Cipriani, a high ranking member of his gang and trusted him more than his son. One of Salvatore's most prominent traits was his extreme paranoia, which was most likely caused by the betrayal of [[Carl Johnson]], a formerly trusted associate. His paranoia was so great that he even pointed a gun at Toni, his most loyal friend.

*Salvatore Leone is credited first in both [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], despite not being the protagonist in either of the games.

*Salvatore Leone is extremely paranoid, even admitting so to [[Toni Cipriani]] during the mission [[Driving Mr. Leone]].<ref name="DML">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Don't play dumb with me, kid. I was playing dumb when your mother was still turning tricks."<br>'''Toni Cipriani''': "What's your problem?"<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "I know what you've been saying about me. You think I'm an idiot? Huh? Is that what you think?" (from the [[Driving Mr. Leone]] mission)</ref><ref name="DML2">'''Salvatore Leone''': "I'm getting paranoid Toni. Really fucking paranoid. Just because I think everyone hates me doesn't mean that they don't, know what I mean? Someone is out to get me. It's that fucking mayor! He's gonna blame me for all the shit that's been going down in the neighbourhood. All of it. Not just the shit I did but all of it." (from the [[Driving Mr. Leone]] mission)</ref>

*Salvatore's relationship with [[Maria Latore]] is volatile, with the two frequently arguing, yet they stay together due to money, with Maria enjoying the luxury of purchasing items with his money. She attempts to start relationships with both [[Toni Cipriani]] and [[Claude]], despite a lack of interest from both of them, resulting in Salvatore becoming more paranoid.
