By [[1992]] Salvatore and his son Joey had moved to Liberty City, with Salvatore residing in his mansion in Saint Mark's. Salvatore agrees to give the Sindacco Family [[Money|$]]5 million to invest in [[Caligula's Palace]], a casino in [[Las Venturas]], although he only agrees to invest if he gets control of the books.<ref name="Caligula's Palace">'''Salvatore Leone''': "You
Salvatore agrees to give the Sindacco Family $5 million to invest in [[Caligula's Palace]], a mega-resort in [[Las Venturas]], one third owned by each of them and the [[Forelli Family]]<ref name="Caligula's Palace2">'''Salvatore Leone''': "So, let me understand it. I go in on your casino, take a third stake along with your organization, and the Forelli's..." (from [[The Introduction]] DVD)</ref>. Salvatore negotiates control beyond his share, such as control of the books<ref name="Caligula's Palace">'''Salvatore Leone''': "You can have the money."<br>'''Johnny Sindacco''': "We can?"<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "If you give me control of the books." (from [[The Introduction]] DVD)</ref> and his choice of a supposedly neutral manager, lawyer [[Ken Rosenberg]], that Salvatore could control<ref name="Ken Rosenberg">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Hey, we're gonna need a real idiot. A guy we can all push around. There's this lawyer, used to work for the Forellis down in Florida. I heard he's sniffing around for a job. Just got out of rehab or something." (from [[The Introduction]] DVD)</ref>.
can have the money."<br>'''Johnny Sindacco''': "We can?"<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "If you give me control of the books." (from [[The Introduction]] DVD)</ref> This gives the two families, and the [[Forelli Family]], a third of the casino.<ref name="Caligula's Palace2">'''Salvatore Leone''': "So, let me understand it. I go in on your casino, take a third stake along with your organization, and the Forelli's..." (from [[The Introduction]] DVD)</ref> Salvatore then nominates [[Ken Rosenberg]], a former Forelli Family associate, to run the casino as the three families can push him around.<ref name="Ken Rosenberg">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Hey, we're gonna need a real idiot. A guy we can all push around. There's this lawyer, used to work for the Forellis
down in Florida. I heard he's sniffing around for a job. Just got out of rehab or something." (from [[The Introduction]] DVD)</ref> However, upon arriving at the casino he tells Rosenberg he wants his money back quickly.<ref name="Money Back">'''Salvatore Leone''': "I'm the job! Me and my money. And I want it back, and I want it back fast... You find a way to get me my money and fast. Understood?" (from [[The Introduction]] DVD)</ref>


While in Las Venturas, Salvatore befriends [[Carl Johnson]], who had worked for his Joey<ref name="Carl and Joey">'''Carl Johnson''': I had the pleasure of doing business with your son, Joey, back in Liberty City."<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "You know my Joey? I like that. So, kid, what can I do for you?" (from the [[Freefall]] mission)</ref>, and his future wife Maria Latore.<ref name="Salvatore and Maria">'''Maria Latore''': "Here's your sandwich."<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Who's this pretty thing?" (from the [[Freefall]] mission)</ref> Salvatore first employs Carl to [[Freefall|stop]] a crew of Forelli hitmen, going to Las Venturas to kill him.<ref name="Forelli hitmen">'''Salvatore Leone''': "You know, the Forelli's are sending over a crew to hit me. Their flight gets in soon - traveling as a string quartet. I was going to send some of the boys over as a little welcoming committee, but, uh, maybe you can take care of it." (from the [[Freefall]] mission)</ref> Following this, Salvatore has Carl [[Saint Mark's Bistro|perform a hit]] at [[Marco's Bistro]] in the Saint Mark's district in Liberty City.<ref name="Marco's Bistro">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Now, it's time the Forelli's found out what it means to screw with Salvatore Leone! How would you like to hit the St. Mark's Bistro?"<br>'''Carl Johnson''': "A hit in Liberty City? Cool..." (from the [[Saint Mark's Bistro]] mission)</ref> Carl, however, had been working for the [[San Fierro Triads]] and they pull off a [[Breaking the Bank at Caligula's|heist]] at the casino, taking a large amount of money. Salvatore then phones Carl, threatening him, his family and his friends, although it is unknown whether he carried out these threats.
While in Las Venturas, Salvatore befriends [[Carl Johnson]], who had worked in a car theft ring for his son Joey in Liberty City sometime between 1987 and 1992<ref name="Carl and Joey">'''Carl Johnson''': I had the pleasure of doing business with your son, Joey, back in Liberty City."<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "You know my Joey? I like that. So, kid, what can I do for you?" (from the [[Freefall]] mission)</ref>. He slowly trusts Carl with bigger and bigger tasks, leading up to him taking a flight to Liberty City to [[Saint Mark's Bistro|kill]] someone at the Forelli-owned [[Marco's Bistro]]. However, Carl was a partner in the rivaling [[San Fierro Triads|Triad]] resort, and [[Breaking the Bank at Caligula's|robbed]] Caligula's. Salvatore then threatens to kill Carl and anyone close to him, although it is unknown whether he carried out these threats. The future of Caligula's and his share is also unknown, as he does not discuss the casino at all in later appearances.
 
During this time he also met Maria Latore<ref name="Salvatore and Maria">'''Maria Latore''': "Here's your sandwich."<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Who's this pretty thing?" (from the [[Freefall]] mission)</ref>, who (despite having a foul attitude with him from day one) quickly became his girlfriend and married him in the next six years, almost definitely for his money. [[Toni Cipriani]] became a well-ranked Leone member by [[1994]], when he killed a rival made man and went into hiding for the next 4 years.

After 1992, he returns to Liberty City. In [[1998]] welcomes [[Toni Cipriani]] back to the city, after years of hiding, but assigns him to [[Vincenzo Cilli]].<ref name="Toni Back">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Toni,  know what you did, and no one is more grateful than me, honestly... So when you need something, give Vincenzo a call down at the [[Atlantic Quays|Atlantic Quay]]." (from the [[Introduction (GTA LCS)|opening cutscene]] of [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]])</ref>. After Toni helps Salvatore escape from [[Paulie's Revue Bar]], which is raided by the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|Liberty City Police Department]],<ref name="DI60S">'''Joseph Daniel O'Toole''': "I just had a tip off that the cops are gonna raid us!"<br>'''Toni Cipriani''': "So? You've got a license."<br>'''Joseph Daniel O'Toole''': "Not for the shit that goes on here! Salvatore is here, paying my girls a... 'Special' visit... you know? We gotta get him out of here before the cops arrive!" (from the [[Don in 60 Seconds]] mission)</ref> Salvatore begins to employ Toni and has him first deal with [[Jane Hopper]], the leader of the union heading the dock strikes.<ref name="Hopper">'''Salvatore Leone''': "I got a union boss - a broad no less - that I need to do me a favor, and she asks for money? All I wanted was 24 hours access to the docks, while the strike was going on, strikes that I helped organize, so my boys could offload some drugs..." (from the [[The Offer]] mission)</ref><ref name="Hopper2">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Listen, these union guys - they're getting me pissed. It looks some of them are starting to see things my way ...but we just need to turn up the heat on some of the 'less than receptive' union big shots." (from the [[Frighteners]] mission)</ref><ref name="Hopper3">'''Salvatore Leone''': "I should call a hit on this bitch. She's taking me for a ride! ...well two can play that game Toni, you're gonna deliver a message for me!" (from the [[Rollercoaster Ride]] mission)</ref> Salvatore then sends Toni to a drugs trade between the Leone Family and the [[Colombian Cartel]] at [[Portland Harbor]], to ensure the deal goes to plan.<ref name="CB">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Anyway, I got a shipment of you know what coming in. This is going to put us - you and me - on the map big time. Everything should run smooth. I just need someone - someone I trust - to take care of things for me." (from the [[Contra-Banned]] mission)</ref> Toni ends up killing the Cartel dealers, with the exception of [[Miguel]] who survives, and evades the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|Liberty City Police Department]] to get away with the drugs. After this, Salvatore visits the Sindacco-run [[Paulie's Revue Bar]], run by now Leone-informant [[Joseph Daniel O'Toole]]. However, he is kidnapped by Sindacco Family gang members,<ref name="Sals Salvation">'''Joseph Daniel O'Toole''': "It's Salvatore. He was kidnapped while leaving the club." (from the [[Salvatore's Salvation]] mission)</ref> with Toni rescuing him<ref name="Sals Salvation2">'''Salvatore Leone''': "...for Christ sakes Toni - you saved my ass - call me Sal!" (from the [[Salvatore's Salvation]] mission)</ref> and later providing covering fire as Salvatore personally launches an attack against the Sindacco Family at Paulie's Revue Bar.<ref name="TGOL">'''Joseph Daniel O'Toole''': "I know. I saw you go in. I've been praying you'd turn up! Salvatore's gone ape-shit! He's coming down here personally, to kill every Sindacco he can find. ...so I took a hike. Look, I've put a sniper rifle on the roof across the street. Make sure no harm comes to Salvatore." (from [[The Guns of Leone]] mission)</ref> Salvatore then has Toni follow [[Sicilian Mafia]] representative [[Massimo Torini]], who is trying to broker a peace between the three families, although Salvatore smells a rat.<ref name="CBTS">'''Joseph Daniel O'Toole''': "Listen, I hear the Sicilians are trying to broker peace between the families. Sal's got some heavy up at his place right now. The thing is; he smells a rat. He wants someone to get up there and follow this guy, see where he goes." (from [[The Guns of Leone]] mission)</ref> Following this, Salvatore convinces O'Toole that he is to become a made man,<ref name="JDOMM">'''Joseph Daniel O'Toole''': "Toni... it's all happening today! I'm gonna be a 'Made Man', me!" (from [[The Made Man]] mission)</ref> however, Salvatore has [[Mickey Hamfists]] kill him for ratting out the Sindacco Family.<ref name="JDOMM2">'''Mickey Hamfists''': "Hey, the guy was a FUCKING RAT! He screwed over his own boss! Disgrazia'. Salvatore could never have trusted that mother fucker." (from [[The Made Man]] mission)</ref> During this time, his relationship with his wife, Maria Latore, continues to sour, with the two continuously arguing.<ref name="Sal/Maria argue">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Salvatore Leone: Shut up, you ungrateful bitch. I'll knock you into next week if I hear another word from you."<br>'''Maria Latore''': "Oh, that's right, big dick. What are you going to do? Hit me?"<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Why I outta..."<br>'''Maria Latore''': "That's the only time you touch me these days."<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Why the fuck would I wanna touch you? I don't like used goods. You revolt me."<br>'''Maria Latore''': "Me? Revolt you? What?"<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Yeah! Revolt!"<br>'''Maria Latore''': "Oh please. You know what? My daddy was right when he said you were nothing but a fat slob..."<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..."<br>'''Maria Latore''': "Hey, Toni... I want my money, old man!"<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Get outta here, you tramp."...<br>'''Maria Latore''': "You can't even get it up you old bastard."<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Not for you. I don't like using public toilets, you slut!"...<br>'''Maria Latore''': "How would you know? You're more interested in hanging out with men!"<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': And you're only happy when you've got your drawers round your ankles and your back against a wall! Christ - I've met rabbits who like to fuck less than you!"...<br>'''Maria Latore''': "Fuck you, Salvatore Leone, you no dick bullying wife beating piece of Italian shit."<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Fuck me? Fuck you? In fact, everyone has!" (from the [[Contra-Banned]] mission)</ref>
After 1992, he returns to Liberty City. In [[1998]] he welcomes [[Toni Cipriani]] back to the city, after years of hiding, but assigns him to [[Vincenzo Cilli]], a much younger and newer Leone member.<ref name="Toni Back">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Toni,  know what you did, and no one is more grateful than me, honestly... So when you need something, give Vincenzo a call down at the [[Atlantic Quays|Atlantic Quay]]." (from the [[Introduction (GTA LCS)|opening cutscene]] of [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]])</ref>. Toni and Vincenzo immediately dislike each other, and after Vincenzo betrays Toni, Toni kills him with Salvatore's apparent approval. In due time, Toni earned his current level of appreciation from Salvatore<ref name="Sals Salvation2">'''Salvatore Leone''': "...for Christ sakes Toni - you saved my ass - call me Sal!" (from the [[Salvatore's Salvation]] mission)</ref> by helping him with wrestling [[Paulie's Revue Bar]] away from [[Paulie Sindacco]] by assisting his discontent manager, [[Joseph Daniel O'Toole]], extorting dock worker union boss [[Jane Hopper]] (Salvatore personally working with Toni at this point) <ref name="Hopper">'''Salvatore Leone''': "I got a union boss - a broad no less - that I need to do me a favor, and she asks for money? All I wanted was 24 hours access to the docks, while the strike was going on, strikes that I helped organize, so my boys could offload some drugs..." (from the [[The Offer]] mission)</ref>, and after the union troubles were sorted out, attending an [[LCPD in GTA III Era|LCPD]]-ambushed meeting with the [[Colombian Cartel]], escaping alive<ref name="CB">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Anyway, I got a shipment of you know what coming in. This is going to put us - you and me - on the map big time. Everything should run smooth. I just need someone - someone I trust - to take care of things for me." (from the [[Contra-Banned]] mission)</ref>. Toni ends up killing the Cartel dealers, with the exception of [[Miguel]] who survives, and evades the to get away with the drugs.
 
After the earlier mob war is supposedly finished, Toni follows [[Sicilian Mafia]] representative [[Massimo Torini]], who is trying to broker a peace between the three families, but really organizing the families as well as street gangs against the Leones<ref name="CBTS">'''Joseph Daniel O'Toole''': "Listen, I hear the Sicilians are trying to broker peace between the families. Sal's got some heavy up at his place right now. The thing is; he smells a rat. He wants someone to get up there and follow this guy, see where he goes." (from [[The Guns of Leone]] mission)</ref>. After this, Salvatore kills JD O'Toole for control of the Revue Bar, renamed [[Sex Club 7]], by tricking him into thinking he'd be a made man<ref name="JDOMM2">'''Mickey Hamfists''': "Hey, the guy was a FUCKING RAT! He screwed over his own boss! Disgrazia'. Salvatore could never have trusted that mother fucker." (from [[The Made Man]] mission)</ref>.

Salvatore, having forced the Sindacco and Forelli families out of Portland Island, begins to feel the pressure from the [[Diablos]] in [[Hepburn Heights]] and the [[Liberty City Triads|Triads]] in [[Callahan Point]]. He sends Toni to first kill the the attacking Diablos<ref name="Sindacco Sabotage">'''Salvatore Leone''': "We got the Diablos crawling all over us in Hepburn! They're kicking our asses!..."<br>'''Toni Cipriani''': "Hey! Don't worry about a thing boss! I'll deal with this." (from the [[Sindacco Sabotage]] mission)</ref> and then to collect money from a destroyed Leone factory, which was blown up by the Triads.<ref name="TTWT">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Shut up! Toni listen. I got a shit load of money that need to be picked up from my warehouse down at Callahan Point. I don't trust anyone else to do this." (from the [[Sindacco Sabotage]] mission)</ref> A paranoid Salvatore then turns on Toni, believing him to be talking behind his back.<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> Salvatore, realising his mistake, admits he is under pressure from Forelli controlled<ref name="HoleForelli">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Listen, the Forellis had Mayor Hole in their pocket." (from the [[Making Toni]] mission)</ref> Mayor [[Roger Hole]], who is trying to pin all of Portland's problems on him.<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 and Toni then escape to [[Staunton Island]], using the unfinished [[Callahan Bridge]],<ref name="DML3">'''Toni Cipriani''': "Where we going?"<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Callahan Bridge!"<br>'''Toni Cipriani''': "Callahan Bridge ain't finished yet!"<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "We're both gonna be finished if you don't drive! Now move it!" (from the [[Driving Mr. Leone]] mission)</ref> and hideout in a [[Staunton Island Safehouse (GTA LCS)|safehouse]] in [[Newport]].
Salvatore is slowly forced out of Portland by the [[Sindacco]] and [[Forelli]] families, as well as the up-and-coming [[Diablos]] and [[Liberty City Triads]]. His paranoia briefly causes him to threaten Toni with a gun, before he comes to his senses <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>. Trusting in Tony again, he explains that the Forellis control mayor [[R.C. Hole]] <ref name="HoleForelli">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Listen, the Forellis had Mayor Hole in their pocket." (from the [[Making Toni]] mission)</ref> who is pinning the entire city's crime on him<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>, before escaping to a [[Staunton Island Safehouse (GTA LCS)|luxury condo]] Salvatore owns in [[Newport]], [[Staunton Island]].
 
Salvatore's first move is to [[A Walk in the Park|kill]] Mayor Hole<ref name="AWITP">'''Salvatore Leone''': "You're a good boy, Toni. That fat fuck [Roger Hole] should be taking his daily run in the [[Belleville Park|park]]. Make sure he's out of breath. Permanently! Oh yeah, get his phone! We can see who he's been talking to..." (from the [[A Walk in the Park]] mission)</ref> and try to replace him with [[Donald Love]], a business mogul in their pocket who's running for Mayor<ref name="NewMayor">'''Salvatore Leone''': "But, we're gonna take control of City Hall. I know a big shot businessman who'd do anything to get into office. He's a complete asshole, so he's qualified for the position. I told him you'd make sure he wins the election... for us!" (from the phone call conversation after the [[Making Toni]] mission)</ref>. Toni also becomes a made man<ref name="ToniMade">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Toni, my boy, that's the day you're being made!" (from the [[Making Toni]] mission)</ref> before helping Donald Love with his campaign.
 
<ref name="DLM">'''Toni Cipriani''': "How's the campaign?"<br>'''Donald Love''': "It's down to the wire amd every last vote's gonna count! O'Donovan's campaigners are working those marginal seats hard. Well we've got our own bandwagon, so get out there and spread the word!" (from the [[Steering the Vote]] mission)</ref><ref name="DLM2">'''Donald Love''': "This guy has a lot of people canvassing for him, all kinds of deluded 'people' people, if you know what I mean. I think we have to have their faith in democracy shaken, if you understand me." (from the [[Cam-Pain]] mission)</ref><ref name="DLM3">'''Donald Love''': "Antonio, good to see you! Now, I'm no Democrat, but even I draw the line at vote rigging. Did you know the Forellis own a silent share in a company making the new voting machines?... Well, we certainly can't trust them. No, it's best if they all have a MAJOR malfunction, if you catch my drift." (from the [[Friggin' the Riggin']] mission)</ref><ref name="DLM4">'''Donald Love''': "The Forellis are going to take me out, aren't they?"<br>'''Toni Cipriani''': Don't worry, I'm going to be riding shotgun." (from the [[Love & Bullets]] mission)</ref><ref name="DLM5">'''Donald Love''': "The exit polls are neck and neck. Time for plan B. We steal some of the uncounted votes, and replace them with some of our own." (from the [[Love & Bullets]] mission)</ref>


After fleeing to Staunton Island, Salvatore has Toni [[A Walk in the Park|kill]] Mayor Hole and steal his cell phone, so they can find out who he is talking to.<ref name="AWITP">'''Salvatore Leone''': "You're a good boy, Toni. That fat fuck [Roger Hole] should be taking his daily run in the [[Belleville Park|park]]. Make sure he's out of breath. Permanently! Oh yeah, get his phone! We can see who he's been talking to..." (from the [[A Walk in the Park]] mission)</ref> After this, Salvatore decides to make Toni<ref name="ToniMade">'''Salvatore Leone''': "Toni, my boy, that's the day you're being made!" (from the [[Making Toni]] mission)</ref> and sends him to businessman [[Donald Love]], who he wants to become Mayor.<ref name="NewMayor">'''Salvatore Leone''': "But, we're gonna take control of City Hall.

(from the phone call conversation after the [[Making Toni]] mission)</ref> Toni then works for Donald Love, on Salvatore's orders, performing various tasks in a quest to help him become Mayor.<ref name="DLM">'''Toni Cipriani''': "How's the campaign?"<br>'''Donald Love''': "It's down to the wire amd every last vote's gonna count!

We steal some of the uncounted votes, and replace them with some of our own." (from the [[Love & Bullets]] mission)</ref> Eventually, Love loses the contest to [[Miles O'Donovan]], due to his connections with Salvatore and Toni.<ref name="Result">'''Leon McAffrey''': "Although no links can be proved between Love and Liberty City's organized crime, it seems his friendship with mobsters including Toni Cipriani, have counted heavily against his voters' eyes. The past few hours have seen his popularity plummet. He is deemed, it seems, unfit for office... " (from the [[Love on the Rocks]] mission)</ref>
To try to win the three-way mob war, Salvatore recruits help from a crooked LCPD officer, [[Leon McAffrey]]. Aside from Toni's work with Donald Love, Salvatore also personally digs up information about [[Franco Forelli]] and their connections to the Mayoral office, often risking his life to do so <ref name="Assistant">'''Salvatore Leone''': "We're going to have a little chat with the mayor's assistant about Franco Forelli."

The Sindaccos have gone to war with the Forellis, and I'm stuck here in the middle of a hit!" (from the [[Search and Rescue]] mission)</ref>. When [[Paulie Sindacco]] attempts a truce with the Forelli family, Salvatore very cleverly makes an attempt on Paulie's life while making his rivals go to war with each other again <ref name="Truce">'''Salvatore Leone''': "We've messed around with Paulie Sindacco's car."<br>'''Toni Cipriani''': "So what do you want me to do?"<br>'''Salvatore Leone''': "Paulie's going to a meet with the Forellis - he's trying to broker a truce. Use the gear in the van to take control of Paulie's car and mess up the meet." (from the [[Taking the Peace]] mission)</ref>.
Toni, on orders from Salvatore,<ref name="Leon">'''Leon McAffrey''': "On the way, I want you see an associate of mine in Aspatria. He's gonna help us pile on pressure on the Sindaccos and Forellis." (from the [[Caught in the Act]] mission)</ref>, also begins to work for corrupt LCPD police officer [[Leon McAffrey]], attacking both the Forelli and Sindacco Families with McAffrey's help.<ref name="LM1">'''Leon McAffrey''': "Now c'mon, Toni, take a drive with me... we're gonna meet your old friends, the Sindaccos...

Salvatore Leone (? - October 2001) is the Sicilian[1]Don of the Leone Family, a major Mafia family based in Liberty City.

Background

Salvatore was born in Palermo, Sicily, once had a brother[1] and was also close to one of his cousins (later killed by the Sindacco Family)[5]. He immigrated to Liberty City and with his first wife (who died, presumably by 1992), had a son named Joey[3]. It is unknown whether Joey was born in Sicily or the US.

He took over the Leone crime family after a power struggle in the mid 1980s[1], likely against his Uncle Leone[4] (as of 1998, they were supposedly at peace but heavily distrusted each other in secret). By 1992, he had purchased and moved into a mansion in the Saint Mark's district of Portland Island, Liberty City.

He is also married to Maria Latore.[2] He resides in

He appears in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, being voiced by Frank Vincent on all three occasions.[6]

GTA San Andreas (1992)

Salvatore Leone in 1992.

Salvatore agrees to give the Sindacco Family $5 million to invest in Caligula's Palace, a mega-resort in Las Venturas, one third owned by each of them and the Forelli Family[7]. Salvatore negotiates control beyond his share, such as control of the books[8] and his choice of a supposedly neutral manager, lawyer Ken Rosenberg, that Salvatore could control[9].

While in Las Venturas, Salvatore befriends Carl Johnson, who had worked in a car theft ring for his son Joey in Liberty City sometime between 1987 and 1992[10]. He slowly trusts Carl with bigger and bigger tasks, leading up to him taking a flight to Liberty City to kill someone at the Forelli-owned Marco's Bistro. However, Carl was a partner in the rivaling Triad resort, and robbed Caligula's. Salvatore then threatens to kill Carl and anyone close to him, although it is unknown whether he carried out these threats. The future of Caligula's and his share is also unknown, as he does not discuss the casino at all in later appearances.

During this time he also met Maria Latore[11], who (despite having a foul attitude with him from day one) quickly became his girlfriend and married him in the next six years, almost definitely for his money. Toni Cipriani became a well-ranked Leone member by 1994, when he killed a rival made man and went into hiding for the next 4 years.

GTA Liberty City Stories (1998)

After 1992, he returns to Liberty City. In 1998 he welcomes Toni Cipriani back to the city, after years of hiding, but assigns him to Vincenzo Cilli, a much younger and newer Leone member.[12]. Toni and Vincenzo immediately dislike each other, and after Vincenzo betrays Toni, Toni kills him with Salvatore's apparent approval. In due time, Toni earned his current level of appreciation from Salvatore[13] by helping him with wrestling Paulie's Revue Bar away from Paulie Sindacco by assisting his discontent manager, Joseph Daniel O'Toole, extorting dock worker union boss Jane Hopper (Salvatore personally working with Toni at this point) [14], and after the union troubles were sorted out, attending an LCPD-ambushed meeting with the Colombian Cartel, escaping alive[15]. Toni ends up killing the Cartel dealers, with the exception of Miguel who survives, and evades the to get away with the drugs.

After the earlier mob war is supposedly finished, Toni follows Sicilian Mafia representative Massimo Torini, who is trying to broker a peace between the three families, but really organizing the families as well as street gangs against the Leones[16]. After this, Salvatore kills JD O'Toole for control of the Revue Bar, renamed Sex Club 7, by tricking him into thinking he'd be a made man[17].

Salvatore Leone in 1998.

Salvatore is slowly forced out of Portland by the Sindacco and Forelli families, as well as the up-and-coming Diablos and Liberty City Triads. His paranoia briefly causes him to threaten Toni with a gun, before he comes to his senses [18]. Trusting in Tony again, he explains that the Forellis control mayor R.C. Hole [19] who is pinning the entire city's crime on him[20], before escaping to a luxury condo Salvatore owns in Newport, Staunton Island.

Salvatore's first move is to kill Mayor Hole[21] and try to replace him with Donald Love, a business mogul in their pocket who's running for Mayor[22]. Toni also becomes a made man[23] before helping Donald Love with his campaign.

[24][25][26][27][28]

To try to win the three-way mob war, Salvatore recruits help from a crooked LCPD officer, Leon McAffrey. Aside from Toni's work with Donald Love, Salvatore also personally digs up information about Franco Forelli and their connections to the Mayoral office, often risking his life to do so [29][30][31]. When Paulie Sindacco attempts a truce with the Forelli family, Salvatore very cleverly makes an attempt on Paulie's life while making his rivals go to war with each other again [32].

Eventually, Love loses the election to Miles O'Donovan because he is linked to Toni and Salvatore[33]. He blames Toni, goes bankrupt as he'd spent his entire $200 million fortune, and the two don't speak for a short while. To further damage the family's status, Salvatore is arrested and put on trial for all the crime in the city[34]. Posing as a lawyer, Toni receives orders from Salvatore [35], such ass allying with the Southside Hoods[36], finally killing Don Paulie Sindacco as he attempts to flee Liberty City,[37] and working to subdue their new Yakuza enemies.[38]

Salvatore is eventually found not guilty in court, after Massimo Torini's mobsters try to kill him [39]. Afterward, they actually try to negotiate peace when Salvatore insists on having his way[40]. Massimo Torini personally kidnaps Mayor O'Donovan, bringing him to the lighthouse on Portland Rock[41][42], where they kill Torini, rescue the mayor and force him to work for the Leones [43]. Salvatore then makes peace with his uncle and the old country,[44] before thanking Toni for his hard work and loyalty.[45]

GTA III (2001)

Salvatore Leone in 2001.

In April 2001 Salvatore walks free from court after a case against him collapsed. He had been on trial for tax evasion, with the Inland Revenue finding irregularities in his finances and $450,000 of undeclared income. The case of tax evasion collapsed, however, he was found guilty of illegally importing tomato sauce without a licence and fined. He had been put on trial various times between 1998 and 2001, believed to be three times prior to his April trial, due to his five trials consisting of the events of his 1998 arrest and the 2001 court case. Salvatore's lawyer, Maurice Goldberg, stated after the trial that Salvatore is dyslexic, which is why his accounts were in a mess.[1]

In October 2001, Salvatore remains married to Maria Latore and leads the Leone Family in their wars with the Triads, Diablos and Colombian Cartel. Claude is first introduced to Salvatore by Toni Cipriani at a meeting at Salvatore's mansion.[46] Salvatore pulls Claude aside and tells him that he has a bright future in the family.[47] Salvatore has Claude take Maria out for the evening,[48] although the couple continue to show their disliking of each other.[49] Salvatore, trusting Claude more, has him follow Curly Bob, who he believes is selling Leone Family secrets to the Colombian Cartel, telling Claude to kill him if he is selling the family out.[50]

After discovering the Colombian Cartel had a rat, Salvatore decides their SPANK factory at Portland Harbor needs to be destroyed and assigns the task to Claude and explosives expert 8-Ball.[51] The SPANK factory is destroyed and Salvatore tells Claude he has one last job for him before he becomes a made man. He wants a car in Chinatown destroyed as it contains evidence of a murder. Salvatore sends Claude to the car,[52] with Maria warning him that Salvatore has rigged the car with explosives. She explains that she told Salvatore they were an item and that they need to flee to Staunton Island with Yakuza co-leader Asuka Kasen.[53] Claude then begins to work for Asuka, who to prove his loyalty, has Claude return to Portland Island to kill Salvatore as he leaves Luigi's Sex Club 7 in the Red Light District.[54] After Claude murders Salvatore, the Leone Family attempt to kill Claude by sending hitmen after him[55] and later shoot at him on sight when Claude enters Leone Family turf.

    Toni Cipriani: "We'll see about that." (from the Shogun Showdown mission)
  39. ↑ Salvatore Leone: "It's good to be a free man again." (from The Shoreside Redemption mission)

    Miles O'Donovan: "Oh yeah, that I work for you." (from The Sicilian Gambit mission)
  44. ↑ Uncle Leone: "Ahhhh, Salvatore. All we really wanted was clarity."
    Salvatore Leone: "Yes, uncle. I appreciate that."
    Uncle Leone: "So, we are at peace now - you and the old country?"
    Salvatore Leone: "Of course. Me and all my people." (from The Sicilian Gambit mission)
  45. ↑ Salvatore Leone: "Yeah, we cleaned up. You did good Toni, you did real good. I always thought you was a good kid. You saved my ass a few times. And I appreciate that kind of loyalty... A good worker. I like that. Respectful." (from The Sicilian Gambit mission)
  46. ↑ Salvatore Leone: "You did good back there kid, real good. C'mon let's introduce you to the Don." (from the Salvatore's Called A Meeting mission)
  47. ↑ Salvatore Leone: "Now listen you guys [Joey Leone, Luigi Goterelli and Toni Cipriani], you go inside while I talk to our new friend here [Claude]. I have nothing but good things for you my boy..." (from the Salvatore's Called A Meeting mission)
  48. ↑ Salvatore Leone: "Me and the fellas need to talk business, so you're gonna look after my girl for the evening." (from the Chaperone mission)

  50. ↑ Salvatore Leone: "The Colombian Cartel is making SPANK somewhere in Liberty. But we don't know where, and they seem to know everything we're doing, before we do. We got us a rat! There is a guy named Curly Bob, who works the bar at Luigis. He's been throwing more money around than he's earning. He ain't pimpin' or pushin' so he must be talking. He usually gets a taxi home after work. So follow him. And if he's rattin' us out kill him." (from the Cutting the Grass mission)
  51. ↑ Salvatore Leone: "I'm asking you to destroy that SPANK factory as a personal favor to me, Salvatore Leone. If you do this for me, you will be a made man, anything you want. Go and see 8-Ball, you'll need his expertise to blow-up that boat." (from the Bomb Da Base Act I mission)
  52. ↑ Salvatore Leone: "I've got just one little job for you before we can all celebrate. There is a car around the block from Luigi's club. The inside is covered in brains. We had to help some guy make up his mind and it proved a little messy. Take it to the crusher before the cops find it." (from the Last Requests mission)
  53. ↑ Maria Latore: "Listen Salvatore, think 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)
  54. ↑ Asuka Kasen: "We have certain issues to clear up before we can continue any form of relationship, business or otherwise. Let's lay our cards or the table, I am Yakuza and I know you worked for Salvatore Leone's family. I can give you work with our organization, but first you must prove to me that your ties with the Mafia are truly broken. Salvatore Leone will be leaving Luigi's in about three hours time. Make sure he doesn't reach his club alive." (from the Sayonara Salvatore mission)
  55. ↑ Asuka Kasen: "My police source indicates that the Mafia are watching our interests around the city in a bid to track you down. We cannot continue our operation until they are dealt with. Take out these spying fools and end this vendetta once and for all." (from the Under Surveillance mission)
