'''Jon Gravelli''' | '''Jon Gravelli''' is a character in the [[HD Universe]], born in [[1923]], he is an old school and well connected [[Mafia]] boss in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. | ||
== Biography == | == Biography == | ||
Gravelli | Jon Gravelli was born in [[Meadow Hills]], [[Dukes]]. His criminal record dates back to [[1940]], when he was first arrested for running a gambling operation at only 17-18 years old. Rigorous criminal activity continued through his twenties, including car theft, attempted murder and bribery, though his [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] record states that he had never been in prison his whole life. A bribery charge in [[1949]] would be his last run-in with the law for over 40 years, and 1968 saw the birth of his son [[Jon Gravelli, Jr.]] | ||
Gravelli took charge of the as the Boss of [[The Commission]] ("Boss of Bosses") and Don of the [[Gambetti Family|Gambetti Crime Family]] in 1978 after the death of his uncle [[Sonny Cangelosi]], when Gravelli was 55. The Gambetti Family became the most powerful of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]'s [[Mafia]] families under Gravelli's leadership. In his late sixties, during the early 1990s, he was arrested twice again and beat both cases. Jon Gravelli Jr. developed a cocaine addiction, which got him arrested twice (1995 and 1998) and disowned by his father. However, Gravelli continued using his underworld influence to protect his son from loan sharks. | |||
Starting in 2005, Jon Gravelli Sr. was a patient in [[Schottler Medical Center]]. He was charged with racketeering in 2006 and was awaiting trial - as many other organized crime figures had done, people believed Gravelli was faking his illnesses to avoid trial, but were proven wrong when he stayed hospitalized for his remaining years. In 2008, Gravelli was introduced to [[Niko Bellic]] via cellphone through his contact at [[United Liberty Paper]] who is referred to as a "mutual friend". It was through his and U.L Paper's assistance that Niko is able to have [[Darko Brevic]] delivered to him. After Niko has taken his revenge on [[Dimitri Rascalov]] and/or [[Jimmy Pegorino]], Gravelli passes away peacefully in his sleep, prior to standing trial. | |||
