Tommy Vercetti was born around 1951 and is 35 during the events of the game (according to the Vice City official strategy guide). He was born in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] and, at a young age, began helping his father at a printing shop cleaning rollers. Vercetti had wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, but "lived a different life", at some point joining the [[Forelli Family]]. He continued to work with the Forelli Family until [[1971]], when he was convicted of eleven counts of manslaughter in [[Harwood]], later gaining the name "The Harwood Butcher". This was an attempted ambush, planned by Sonny Forelli, although Tommy survived. His connections with the Forelli Family ensured he was spared the death penalty and a life sentence. Tommy remained in prison for fifteen years, not informing the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|LCPD]] of any Forelli Family secrets. | Tommy Vercetti was born around [[1951]] and is 35 during the events of the game (according to the Vice City official strategy guide).

Tommy Vercetti continued to run the criminal underworld of Vice City until at least [[1992]], although his relationship with Ken Rosenberg became increasingly strained due to Rosenberg's cocaine addiction. Tommy eventually sends Ken into rehab at the [[Fort Carson Medical Center]] in [[Fort Carson]], [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], later refusing to answer his telephone calls. Thus nobody knows his later fate. | ;1992 | ||

Tommy is also mentioned in by Kent Paul on his website in [[2002]] stating "see, Tom, I didn't mention your name, nowhere. Maybe you won't get us killed now, okay?" Since this sentence is apparently directed at Tommy himself, it can be easily determined he is still alive in 2002. | |||

*An Easter Egg in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] suggests that Tommy Vercetti, along with the other GTA III Era protagonists, are dead as of 2008. However, GTA IV does not share a canon with the GTA III Era. The egg likely refers to the fact that they will not be featured in any future games. | *An Easter Egg in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] suggests that Tommy Vercetti, along with the other GTA III Era protagonists, are dead as of 2008.
