**Tony** is a small-time gangster and associate of the Dark Don, along with his partner-in-crime Louie, 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.

## Physical description

### Gender

Male

Little is known about Tony, other than that he is a middle-aged mafioso 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, Tony and his colleague and friend Louie took up work as operatives for the Dark Don Gang, following direct commands from the Dark Don himself. Around summer time, 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

Tony is seen with Louie in their hideout to check back on their latest exploit, the succeeded abduction of feared mobster Vinnie Cannoli. Tony offers some information on Vinnie to Louie, mentioning his nickname "The Tyrant of Thugtown". Louie curiously states that he's never heard of him nor Thugtown, leading Tony to ask if he was kidding and whether or not he was aware of the story of the "Thugtown Incident of '28". Upon his inquiry, Tony retold the events that made Vinnie the enigma he is now, from his feats of brutality to his miraculous survival. When Louie fails to make the connection between his story and the kidnapping, he finally tells him directly that Vinnie was the survivor he just described.

Louie, not very impressed with the story, simply mocks Vinnie's plight and suggests they torture him with a chainsaw he brought for the occasion, remarking that it would be a "Night to Dismember". Tony laughs at Louie's wisecrack, but reminds him that their boss, The Dark Don, wants Vinnie alive. Not wanting to be a complete spoilsport, against his better judgement, he decides to break protocol for a bit and allows Louie to have some fun with Vinnie in a less lethal fashion, gladly proclaiming that he'll take part in the pummeling as well. As they prepare to rough him up with Tony's bat, Vinnie comments that the two are "freaking hilarious" in an oddly derisive tone. Tony sternly demands he elaborate, threateningly pointing the bat in his general direction in response. Vinnie says that they "really stink at tying ropes" and quickly breaks his restraints, before also into a fit of laughter. Vinnie rushes at the terrified gangsters, punching Tony with all his might, sending him flying against the brick wall, breaking his neck on impact.

## Personality

Tony is a lot less jovial and more glum and up-tight about his work than his buddy Louie is, acting as something of a foil to the immature and easily excited Louie, playing the straight man to Louie's funny man. He seems to have be rather knowledgable, being informed about an officially classified government operation and being well aware of how dangerous Vinnie is. Nevertheless, he did seem to mellow around his friend Louie, laughing at a joke during an important mission and even going as far as to disregard an order by his boss, showing that he could easily become overconfident in his abilities when in company, despite knowing better, which ended up being his downfall.

## Trivia

* This is the third instance, of someone named Tony. This is something of a running joke, as Tony is a typical name to be associated with the American Mafia, popularized with fictional mobsters like Tony Soprano or Tony Montana.
* Tony's model appears to utilize an early model of the Tommy Gun Gangster.
