Toni Cipriani

Antonio "Toni" Cipriani is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto III (set in 2001), and the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (set in 1998).
Toni is a member of the Leone Crime Family in Liberty City, who was forced to live abroad for four years following his murder of a made man from a rival Mafia family under the orders of his boss, Salvatore Leone. Upon his return in 1998, he resumes work for the family, helping it increase its influence and eliminate its rivals, primarily the Sindacco and the Forelli Crime Families. As a result, the Leone Crime Family becomes the dominant Mafia organization in the city, and Toni earns Salvatore's trust and respect, becoming a Capo within the family.
He maintains this position three years later, when he employs Claude to assist the Leone Crime Family in the war against the Liberty City Triads. Following Claude's betrayal of the family and murder of Salvatore, Toni presumably becomes the new Don.
Two of Toni's defining attributes are his undying loyalty to Salvatore and his complicated relationship with his mother, Mrs. Cipriani. The latter is often heard berating Toni due to her discontent with him and what she perceives as his failure to live up to his late father's legacy, though at times she has also been shown to praise her son and be kind to him.
