Vince Torelli

Vincent James Torelli is an American gangster and former associate of the Martorano crime family. He was also a member of the anarchist terrorist Underground Syndicate during late 2021 and much of 2022.

Some investigators also consider Vince Torelli to be part of the Torelli crime family, by virtue of past association and his blood.

## Early History

Vince Torelli was an accountant in Faraday Securities Corporation, an investment firm on Wall Street in Liberty City. In 2014, following near bankruptcy, his company outsourced most of the accounting positions to cheaper labor overseas, and Vince was unemployed. He turned to alcoholism, and his wife Abigail left him in 2016 with the divorce finalized a year later. He spent the next four years working odd jobs and security for shopping malls. As his alcoholism worsened, he took a twelve step program in late 2020. In July 2021, his sponsor, a wealthy man, gave him enough money to go to Los Santos in order to attend a special rehab clinic.

While in Los Santos, Vince worked as a garbage man and would frequently be robbed by local gangs. Eventually, he began to grow marijuana with a man named David The Angel. This endeavor turned mostly fruitless, as Vince would repeatedly get robbed at the farms. He returned to being a garbage man.

## The Underground

In October 2021, unsatisfied with his current career, he turned to a contact he had in the underworld and was recruited into the Underground Syndicate by Melody Frey, during a cancer awareness event on the Del Perro Pier.

In early December, Vince Torelli witnessed the near fatal attack of then Underground commander Charlie Bankshot, during a money laundering mission in west Los Santos. Following this, Underground leader Melody Frey supposedly violently attacked other members Sean O'Malley and Edward King. When this happened, a rift occurred in the gang, and Vince de facto left the Underground to join the "Israeli Crew" of the East Side Vagos, led by Lansley Seid and David Levine. Vince also created association with the mafia in Los Santos, but also angered the Changretta crime family when members of East Side Vagos shot at them. Vince was tortured for information, with his left hand's pointer finger cut off and fed to him. It was later replaced by prosthetic surgery in Liberty City.

Following an altercation and subsequent non-fatal shooting of Elijah Taylor, Vince was hunted down by the Changrettas and Underground. He was later shot by Melody Frey, Elijah and several members of the Changrettas, including their leader Marcus Falcone. He recuperated at a hospital, but with serious injuries. In late December 2021, the Israeli Crew fell apart due to increased attacks from the Changretta family, Underground and police investigators. Vince turned free agent and hid in various places across Los Santos.

In early January 2022, Vince made amends with Melody by promising to hunt down and torture David Levine for betraying Underground and threatening to gang-rape Melody. Vince was admitted back into the organization without any friction from its members, and continued to commit robberies with them. On January 22, Vince lured David Levine into a mock-up store robbery job off the Palomino Freeway, where him and his friend were ambushed. David was tortured and brought up to the top of Mount Chiliad in upstate San Andreas where a propaganda video was filmed. He was later forced to walk blind down the mountain.

In late January 2022, Vince began a relationship with Grace Adams, a car mechanic from Arizona. They were later engaged, though complications related to financial issues caused the couple to disengage and distance themselves. They were totally separated by late June.

Throughout February, Vince maintained high relations with the Underground, before an FBI probe into the murder of a prison guard forced Vince and Grace to disassociate from the syndicate. In the meantime, Vince went on to briefly become de facto leader of the Torelli's Los Santos faction, leading a crew of Italian heist men in late February and early March 2022, with Grace Adams serving as an accountant. Eventually, with the permission of James Jr., the crew was essentially absorbed into the Underground and dissolved, though Vince continued to maintain connections on behalf of Alderney.

## The Martorano crime family

Following the rocky end of engagement between Vince and Grace, the pair began to distance themselves from each other and the Underground. In early May, Vince became associated with the Martorano crime family, being inducted by Ben Ruggieri.

Following Ben Ruggieri's death, Vince became more independent within the faction, but worked very closely with then-enforcer John Aparo, and Samuel Marotta. In August 2022, Vince was put "on record" within the organization.

Following several indictments, deaths and retirements in September 2022, Vince's status rose within the family. Aparo was made boss, and Marotta was promoted to caporegime of the downtown crew, following the consolidation of the entire family into the Mission Row neighborhood.

## Personal Life

Vince Torelli was married to Liberty City artist Abigail Torelli from 2007 to 2016. Together they had two children, Ryan and Josephine.

In early 2022, Vince was engaged to anarchist-terrorist bank robber Grace Frey.

In May and June 2022, Vince Torelli was in a relationship Melora Studheart and Alejandra Garza.

In late July 2022, Vince began a relationship with ex-prostitute Chloe Hill. They later engaged.
