## Biography

### Early Life

Antonio grew up in Sicily, Italy and learned everything about the business under his father, Vito. Antonio grew up during the great depression, and the prohibition era, a time where business was very successful. However when Vito died, and alcohol became legal again, Antonio had to improvise and begin selling something else for profit. So after loan sharking, racketeering, and gambling, illegal drugs were added to the list of things the Families' would take advantage of.

### 80's

During the 80's Antonio would divorce his wife Anna Maria over an argument. Anna Maria would take the kids and move to Spain to stay away from Antonio, but this didn't stop Marius from moving back to Italy when he turned 18. Antonio was excited to learn that Marius returned, and began to teach him everything about the business. As the years went by, Marius would be promoted to caporegime, a high rank in the mob.

### The Homie Families

During this time in 2020, Marius would anger the Cuban Cartel, and trigger a war between the two rivalling syndicates. Antonio tries to fix relations between the two groups, he would do so unsuccessfully. Antonio did shake hands with the Cartel leader, Don Salvador, but the two groups would forever keep an eye on each other, and tensions would never cease. Antonio tried to make peace again during another sit-down with Don Salvador, however Don Salvador promised to make peace, but only if Marius was no longer in the business. Antonio knew what he had to do. At first Antonio thought he could just make him disappear, however with the amount of knowledge Marius knew about the gang, Antonio had to kill him, to make sure Marius wouldn't go to law enforcement. The Homie Families' underboss, and Antonio's brother, Arnaldo D'Grasso, felt bad for Marius, and decided to tell him about Antonio's plan to kill him. This caused Marius to stage a coup against Antonio, with Arnaldo's support. Marius persuaded most of the gang to help him in the coup, and assassinate all of the loyalists dedicated to Antonio. Marius successfully does this, and confronts his father Antonio. With Marius becoming the de facto boss, Antonio knew that his end was near, however instead of killing him, Marius puts Antonio in a retirement home, where he still is to this day.

### Memelads Highschool

In the events of Memelads highschool, Antonio would be stuck in a Stonkstown retirement community, where he spends ever day hating his family for betraying him. However when the police question Antonio, he would never rat them out. Marius would occasionally stop by to say hello to his father, however the two would just end up bickering, and Marius would be removed from the premises.
