Tommy Vercetti

The FBI say 200. The street gives 300. But the street marks up everything by half, so figure around 150 for the real number. From the mid 1960s to early 1970s, Tommy Vercetti violently rearranges the New York City underworld, orchestrating an ambitious Mafia scheme to regain control of the American drug trade. He is initiated into a group of killers kept in the reach of rising mob soldier Sonny Forelli, the principal figure behind an attempt to flood the United States with cheap Asian heroin and undercut the organized blacks, Cubans and Puerto Ricans who, in the exile of the Mafia from the drug business, have seized control of it themselves. To gain a market for his heroin, Forelli demands that the chief gang bosses throughout Brooklyn, the Bronx and uptown are killed -- and extends this to Jersey City, when the figureheads there refuse to buy into his deal. Across a three day period, Vercetti guns down each; a violent spree of public, high profile murders that sends shockwaves through every stronghold. It is in the aftermath that Sonny Forelli appears and makes the name for himself that endows him with the credentials needed to become New York's most infamous mafia boss -- he promises an end to the violence and carefully knits back together the fabric of the city's underworld, having been torn apart at the slight of his own hand.

The plan hits an early and near fatal snag during the first month -- collecting drug profits in Bed-Stuy, gunmen strike from a passing car as Forelli and Vercetti are counting their take. Vercetti absorbs the damage -- he takes two bullets in the face -- and enters gangland folklore by allegedly spitting the slugs out into the gutter. He walks away unscathed, but the shooting changes him. The violence with which Tommy approaches his future missions shocks Sonny Forelli, and the ambitious mobster realizes their partnership has to come to a conclusion -- when the time is right, he will offer up Vercetti to his rivals and have him killed.

At first, the Mafia are reluctant to back Forelli's plan to reenter them into the drug trade. They're scared by the recent violence and, with the passage of the RICO act of 1969, fearful of the prison time. They decide to convene a meeting to discuss the proposal. This isn't good enough for Forelli, who by now has spent thousands setting up connections in Asia and South America. He secretly meets with Santo Trafficante, head of the Florida based Trafficante Crime Family, along with the major powers invested in the New Orleans Crime Family. Together, they bring in the Sicilians -- the Cuntrera-Caruna Clan -- and from their base in Venezuela, they give the green light: the New York Mafia can go. They walk into their meeting and are met with a volley of gunfire launched by the waiting Tommy Vercetti. The old families are no more.

From the ensuing power struggle, new organizations emerge -- the Leones, headed by brothers Paolo and Salvatore Leone; the Sindaccos, who control a stake in the heroin trade from their base on the West Coast, and at the head of them all, the Forelli Crime Family, led by its namesake, Sonny Forelli. They align among the big players of the day -- the Ancelottis, Gambettis, Lupisellas, Messinas and Pavanos -- all of whom are hungry for a taste of drug profits. Those who refuse to enter the drug trade are fed to the Murder Machine -- chewed up, spat out, and dismembered according to a routine perfected by Vercetti and his crew of budding killers. By the end of 1970, the families are fully submerged in the narcotics trade. Sonny Forelli sits on the throne, and to stay there, he knows he has to get rid of Vercetti.

Tommy has grown ambitious -- connections from his street gang days heading the Charlotte St. Cheetahs have fanned out across the Big Apple, now staking major claims on drug turf and always looking for opportunities to expand their territory. They collude with Tommy on a large drug trafficking scheme outside of the Forelli's orbit -- they will recruit willing couriers from their neighborhoods and fly direct to the mafia's connection in Caracas, swallowing balloons of cocaine and sewing packages of heroin into their suitcases. It makes everyone involved street rich -- and Forelli is angered when Vercetti withholds his taste. Furthermore, he is outraged to learn Vercetti has been acquiring machine guns from Irish gangs in Hell's Kitchen and selling them on to radical feminists and liberation groups, a scheme that has the potential to place all of them firmly in the cross-hairs of the government. Sonny decides that Tommy has to go -- he feigns peace with a rival gangster, Bruno Del Monte, and conspires with him to lure Vercetti to his death.

Bruno Del Monte works 'The Deuce' -- the 42nd Street and 8th Avenue section of Times Square, known for its strip of peep shows and pornography theaters. He first crosses paths with Forelli as rivals in the winter of 1967, when disputes over revenue from the theaters spill over into street violence. Then, Vercetti essentially ruined Bruno's business; he is keen to partner up with Forelli to led him to his death. On a slate grey New York City morning in the last days of winter 1971, Bruno watches Vercetti's vehicle fall into his rear view mirror as he departs The Deuce for a quieter location on the West Side -- an old warehouse where ten of his men lay in ambush, armed to the teeth. He slips inside -- but not before beckoning Vercetti to come ahead -- make your move, lets settle this like men. It remains unknown exactly how the sequence of events that followed unfolded, but the NYPD maintain that Vercetti likely followed Bruno inside the warehouse with the intention of robbing and killing him, only to find himself confronted by ten armed men and his victim. At some point Vercetti returned to his vehicle, or possibly disarmed one of the men, and gained control of a shotgun. The eleven were found violently executed, and when Vercetti attempted to flee officers responding to the sound of gunfire, he engaged them in a running gun battle that ended only when he was felled by a volley of gunfire in Hell's Kitchen.

Taken into custody, handcuffed to a gurney at Riker's Island, Vercetti appears in court and is promptly sentenced to death by electric chair at age 20 -- the punishment demanded by an outraged city, bankrupt, headed for doom, and looking for someone to condemn. Sonny Forelli, meanwhile, finds the fruits of his labor are short-lived. Greed and misfortune tear apart his drug conspiracy, and control of the narcotics trade is soon absorbed by the Cubans and Blacks once again: Frank Matthews of Brooklyn and Nicky Barnes of Harlem, public enemies of the highest order, their organizations annihilating the Mafia in every way possible. His rise, however, remains unfazed -- he goes on to reign as the American Mafia's most powerful crime boss since it's foremost father Lucky Luciano -- sewing up control of every illicit industry New York City has to offer. But the drug trade continues to elude him.

When one day in 1986, Tommy Vercetti unexpectedly emerges from prison after serving fifteen years of a life sentence, Sonny decides to put him to work -- send him to Miami, provide him with $3 million in cash to soften any hard feelings, and let him run loose down there, sew up a piece of the action for us. It seems like the perfect plan for both men -- until it isn't.
