+'''Joey Leone''' is a character in the [[3D Universe]] who appears as a supporting character in [[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''.
-'''Joey Leone''' is a member of the [[Leone Family|Leone family]] and the son of Don [[Salvatore Leone]]. Known for his lack of ambition, Joey works as a mechanic with criminal side-dealings in [[Portland Island]]. In cut scenes he is constantly seen restoring a [[BF Injection]] dune buggy, and spending time with his favorite prostitute, [[Misty]]. The buggy can be seen (after completing the Portland mission string) parked in certain hours outside the apartment where Misty is picked up in the "Drive Misty For Me" mission). Joey's tasks intended for [[Claude]] include theft, assassinations and body disposal.
+==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]], Liberty City. He eventually loses the services of Johnson who returns to [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|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 the process, Joey introduces his father's "Capo", [[Toni Cipriani]], allowing Claude to perform further jobs with the Leone family. Joey is also mentioned in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]] when [[Carl Johnson]] meets Salvatore Leone in [[Las Venturas]], stating that he had the pleasure of working with Joey while residing in [[Liberty City]]. Joey is referenced again in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|Liberty City Stories]] when Salvatore Leone states that he wasn't as involved in the mob family ("What more could a family guy ask for? Even my son don't got it so good").
+===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 [[Portland 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]] Leone 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.
-Joey is also believed to have been responsible for the killing of several [[Forelli Family]] members, which had in turn results in a Mafia war between the Leones and the Forellis. It is debatable whether he becomes Don following his father's death. Toni Cipriani would conceivably be next in line if Joey continued with his auto business.
+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.
-Joey Leone was voiced by [[Wikipedia:Michael Rapaport|Michael Rapaport]]
+==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.
+*The only time Joey and his father are seen interacting in person is the GTA III mission [[Salvatore's Called a Meeting]], where Salvatore berates him for not yet finding a wife.
