== Biography ==
=== History ===
Antonio Rossi became a hitman and caporegime sometime in his past for Enzo Romano, the head of the Los Santos Italian Mob. He eventually met and married a fellow Italian woman named Maria and had a son named Marco. Unfortunately, while Tony was able to afford all of the fancy and comfortable things in his life as well as his family's, his consistent time at work caused his wife to become more alienated from, deeming him to be a no-good murderer and presumed him cheating. As a result, she in return began to cheat on him, which he remained unaware of until 2013.
=== The Final Hits & Suicide ===
In an abandoned construction project, Tony was called upon by his boss, Enzo, who needed him to take out four targets: Dean, a homosexual contact who gave them leeway into the gay clubs in Los Santos for profit, but threatened to call the cops unless he got a bigger cut, "Footlong" Frank, who was the messenger to the Ballas to allow drug deals across the city free of problems in exchange for a cut, but he decided to go freelance with the Ballas and the Mob needed to send a message, "Tubby" Tyrone, who ran several popular diners across the city that served as decent fronts for secret rackets, but refused to be taken advantage of further, and "Twitching" Tina, who was the Mob's most trusted dealer in East Los Santos, but have begun to save the money for herself to buy her own product. Tony was dispatched to take care of each one.
Tony went after Dean, who was driving home in the rainy night with his lover, but Tony was able to intercept him when he stopped at a red light in Strawberry, proceeding to shoot him and his gay lover as both witnesses. He then went after Footlong Frank, who was walking back to his hood, but Tony pulled over next to him, got out, and proceeded to shoot Frank multiple times on the sidewalk. He went after Tubby Tyrone, but he refused to go down without a fight, and the two engaged in a fistfight in a bank while it was closed. After a dangerous fight, Tony was able to overpower Tyrone and shot him in the head. He finally went after Twitching Tina, who was walking near Mission Row, apologizing for betraying the Mob and promised to do better, causing Tony to admit that she broke his heart in doing what she did and he emotionally put her down.
After a night of carrying out the final four hits, Tony returned home to find that Maria was having sex with a tennis coach, presumably Kyle Chavis and tried to call her out, but she only responded with moans of pleasure, and the door locks were changed, prohibiting Tony from accessing his own home. Tony ultimately suffered a silent mental breakdown and got back in his car, resolving to commit suicide.
As a result, Tony drove onto Interstate 2 Del Perro Freeway and drove straight into oncoming traffic, hitting a car but surviving the collision. Tony regained consciousness and although he had time to get out and save himself, he only muttered "Maria" as the car exploded, instantly killing Antonio Rossi.
=== Legacy ===
Antonio Rossi was laid to rest by Enzo, Maria, and their son, Marco in the Vinewood Cemetery in Pacific Bluffs. Maria was not mournful of Antonio's death, while Enzo despised her for causing his breakdown, but he refused to kill her as he knew that Tony did not want that.
A week after Tony's death, Enzo hired criminal and part-time vigilante, Joel Wallace, aka the Scythe, to take his place as hitman momentarily, but Joel turned on him and assassinated him in a car explosion while he was tending to business in Harmony. The Italian Mob of Los Santos fell apart quickly.
