'''Joey Leone''' is a | '''Joey Leone''' is a character in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series who appears in a prominent role [[Grand Theft Auto III]] (set in [[2001]]). He is also mentioned in [[The Introduction]] (set in [[1992]]), a prequel to [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. He is the son of the [[Boss|Don]] of the [[Leone Family]], [[Salvatore Leone]] and owns his own business, [[Joey's Garage]]. He is voiced by [[Michael Rapaport]], who has starred in such television programs as ''Prison Break'' and ''Boston Public''. | ||
==Character History== | |||
===Before 2001=== | |||
Joey Leone was born in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] and grew up around his [[Salvatore Leone|father]], who in the late 1980s became the [[Boss|Don]] of the [[Leone Family]]. He, however, had no ambitions of becoming a made man in the family, deciding to concentrate on small time crime. In between [[1987]] and [[1992]] he employed [[Carl Johnson]] to steal cars for his [[Joey's Garage|garage]], which he had established in the [[Trenton]] district of [[Portland Island]], Liberty City. He eventually loses the services of Johnson who returns to [[Los Santos]] for the funeral of his [[Beverly Johnson|mother]], although he continues with his work as a mechanic. His business continues to be successful throughout the 1990s, appearing again in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], set in [[1998]]. His father, however, does not appear to be pleased with his son, claiming in 1998 that [[Toni Cipriani]], who was promoted as Capo, to be like a son and that Joey wasn't as involved in the family. | |||
In | ===2001=== | ||
In 2001 he is introduced to [[Claude]] who [[Drive Misty For Me|drives]] his favourite prostitute, [[Misty]], to his garage from [[Luigi Goterelli|Luigi's]] [[Luigi's Sex Club 7|Sex Club 7]]. Joey then begins to employ Claude, initially having him [[Mike Lips Last Lunch|murder]] [[Mike Forelli]], a prominent member of the rival [[Forelli Family]], and "Chunky" [[Lee Chong]], a [[Liberty City Triads|Triad]] [[Farewell "Chunky" Lee Chong|selling]] the drug [[SPANK]] through a noodle stand. Joey continues to employ Claude, having him [[Van Heist|steal]] a [[Securicar]], [[Cipriani's Chauffeur|chauffeur]] Loene Family Capo Toni Cipriani, [[Dead Skunk in the Trunk|dispose of the body]] of a deceased Forelli Family mobster and act as a [[The Getaway|getaway driver]] in a bank heist. Joey meets Claude again when Claude [[Salvatore's Called A Meeting|drives]] Joey, Toni and Luigi to [[Salvatore's Gentlemen's Club]]. Joey also has a long standing rivalry with the Forelli Family, having reportedly killed a number of the Forelli mobsters. | |||
Claude continues to work with the Leone Family until a paranoid Salvatore decides to [[Last Requests|try and kill]] Claude, resulting in Claude and [[Maria Latore]] fleeing to [[Staunton Island]]. Claude was then charged with killing Salvatore by [[Asuka Kasen]], co-leader of the [[Yakuza]], who was looking to employ Claude. Claude carried out his orders, [[Sayonara Salvatore|killing]] Joey's father. It is unknown who succeeded Salvatore as Don of the Leone Family. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
Early concept art from the [[Rockstar North]] [http://www.rockstarnorth.com/ website] label Joey as "Joey Corvino", which may have been an early name for the Leone Family. | |||
