Caporegime: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:26, 18 December 2009

A Caporegime is a captain of a mafia family that runs a crew of soldiers. The caporegime is only outranked by the Underboss and the [[[Boss|Don]], the leader of the family.

GTA III Era

Toni Cipriani and Vincenzo Cilli are notable caporegimes in the GTA III Era, each for the Leone Family in Liberty City. Vincenzo was made at some point before 1998 but was killed by Cipriani in the same year on a freighter ship. Cipriani, meanwhile, was made and became a caporegime in 1998 and remained in the position in 2001, although his ranking following the death of Salvatore Leone is unknown.

GTA IV Era

Ray Boccino, Mark Volpe and Fredo Volpe are notable caporegimes in the GTA IV Era, Boccino for the Pegorino Family and the Volpe brothers for the Messina Family. Boccino was appointed caporegime at some point before 2008 and remained in the position until his death at the hands of Niko Bellic on orders from the family's Don, James Pegorino. Mark Volpe was a caporegime for the Messina Family before disappearing, as the family suspected him to be a Liberty City Police Department informant, which turned out to be his brother Fredo.

-Notable caporegimes in the [[GTA III Era]] include [[Toni Cipriani]] and [[Vincenzo Cilli]] of the [[Leone Family]]. Toni Cipriani was a capo sometime before 1994 when he was called out by Don [[Salvatore Leone]] to kill a made man (unknown from which family but has to be either the [[Forelli Family]] or [[Sindacco Family]]). After Toni killed him he was told to lay low which made Cilli to climb up the ranks and take over Cipriani's regime. By the time Cipriani came back to [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] he was put back as a low level goon working at Cilli's regime. Another known capo was [[Ray Boccino]] (appearing in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]) of the [[Pegorino Family]] until he was suspected of being a rat by Don [[Jimmy Pegorino]] and ordered [[Niko Bellic]] to kill Boccino.

+[[Toni Cipriani]] and [[Vincenzo Cilli]] are notable caporegimes in the [[GTA III Era]], each for the [[Leone Family]] in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]].

Cipriani, meanwhile, was [[Making Toni|made]] and became a caporegime in 1998 and remained in the position in [[2001]], although his ranking following the [[Sayonara Salvatore|death]] of [[Salvatore Leone]] is unknown.
+==GTA IV Era==
+[[Ray Boccino]], [[Mark Volpe]] and [[Fredo Volpe]] are notable caporegimes in the [[GTA IV Era]], Boccino for the [[Pegorino Family]] and the Volpe brothers for the [[Messina Family]].
