**Louie** is a small-time gangster and associate of the Dark Don, along with his partner-in-crime Tony, serving as a minor antagonist in *Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2*. A middle-ranking member of the Dark Don Gang, he is one of the mobsters who kidnapped Vinnie Cannoli on the Dark Don's orders, inadvertently causing his own death, as well as his partner's, also leading to the demise of the gang.

## Biography

Little is known about Louie, other than that he is a middle-aged wise guy living in Syndicate City. Seeing as he's visibly well into his 40s, likely going 50s, and enjoys a trusted status in the mob, he has likely been a career criminal since the Prohibition Years (1920-1933).

Sometime before 1944, Louie and his colleague and friend Tony took up work as operatives for the Dark Don Gang, following direct commands from the Dark Don himself. One day, they are tasked with tracking down and kidnapping a wanted fugitive, with a promised reward of over 10 million dollars for whoever brings him to the Don first. The duo find the man, manage to incapacitate him and bring him to The Warehouse for safe keeping.

## Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2

Louie is seen with Tony when they arrive at their hideout after capturing Vinnie. Louie asks about the origin of Vinnie's nickname, "The Tyrant of Thugtown", also questioning why Vinnie is so important anyway, prompting Tony to ask, in disbelief, if he had heard of the Thugtown Incident before. Louie replies that he hadn't heard of it nor the town before, so Tony retells the events of the first game, now known as the "Thugtown Incident of '28". He vividly describes how supposedly, a contaminated batch of alcohol caused the entire town to turn into rotting flesh-eating monsters and how there was only a sole survivor of the massacre, escaping completely unscathed. Louie asks who the survivor was, leading Tony to finally point out the obvious and tells him that it was Vinnie, who made it out alive.

Louie makes fun of Vinnie in his current predicament, saying that he doesn't seem so tough tied-up, only causing their prisoner to ominously threaten him with violence. Louie, not intimated by the incapacitated mobster, intends to use a chainsaw on Vinnie before delivering him to their boss, jokingly claiming he wanted to make it a "Night to Dismember". Tony laughs at the joke, but reminds his friend that "The Dark Don" wants Vinnie alive. Tony still assures him that they get away with battering him and as the duo prepares to beat up Vinnie, he tells them the knots they made weren't strong enough and unexpectedly breaks the ropes binding him. The terror-stricken gangsters back away, as Vinnie charges at them, hitting Tony in the face, sending him flying into a wall. Vinnie throws a petrified, but slightly amazed Louie into some shipping crates and as he recovers from the impact, his former target of mockery starts up his chainsaw, tauntingly stating that the weather forecast predicts it to be "bloody, with a chance of body parts" and rushes him, gruesomely ending their short-lived triumph.

## Personality

Louie is shown to be an easygoing and fun guy, telling jokes and fooling around during an assignment. He is comes off as rather unintelligent, as he couldn't come to the quite obvious conclusion that the survivor Tony was describing was in fact Vinnie, as well as somewhat unfocused, as he seems to forget the danger he's in for just a second, amazed at Vinnie's sheer strength when he knocks Tony against the wall. He seems to be not be well-informed for a mobster, as he never heard of the Thugtown Incident nor infamous gangster Vinnie Cannoli. Beneath his dim witted exterior, however, is a sadistic torturer, who seems to take childish joy out of inflicting pain onto his victims. He is also rather fond of chainsaws
