There are many cult computer games. But among them the action movie "Mafia", which is loved by all gamers, stands out especially. The game deservedly received the title of one of the best. Good graphics, a plot that even films can not boast of - it conquered users around the world. And they really liked the colorful characters. One of the most beloved for many was Thomas Angelo. His biography will be described in this article.
Start
In the past, Thomas was an ordinary taxi driver in the city of Lost Haven. But after some time, unexpectedly for himself, he began to build a career in the mafia. He worked for the Salieri criminal clan - one of a couple of the largest associations dominating the city. The family of don Morello, who is an unprincipled and cruel man, confronts this syndicate. At first glance, he is far from sophisticated and intelligent Salieri.
Joining a clan
It all starts in the fall of 1930 with the fact that Thomas Angelo saved two Salieri people from persecution. In the future, they become his partners. After the rescue, Thomas Angelo receives a good reward. A decent amount was put in his envelope, which exceeded the amount that was needed to repair the car. After some time, Morello’s people tracked down the hero and beat him, but he managed to escape. After the incident, he turned to Salieri for help and joined the clan, having no other options.
As the first test of loyalty was the deterioration of Morello cars. After Tom successfully dealt with the matter, he was accepted into the clan. Gradually, the hero receives more and more responsible and difficult tasks. Once he managed to save his partners from death during an unsuccessful collection of money for protection. Over time, Thomas begins to understand the difference between Salieri and Morello. The first is a businessman who attacks only in response to insults, and the second is just a scoundrel.
Development
In 1932, the character fell in love with the bartender's daughter, Sarah. He protected her from the street bullies who harassed her. A year later, they played a wedding, and after two more they had a daughter. It was at this time that the war of the two clans began. The reason was the betrayal of one of the members of the Salieri family. Thomas receives the task to deal with the traitor in the brothel, where it was also necessary to eliminate the prostitute who spreads unnecessary information. But in it, Tom recognizes his wife's girlfriend and lets her go.
At the same time, a war breaks out between the clans. And Tommy kills the city councilor, who brought a lot of problems to Salieri, and then to Brother Morello. After them, the leader himself was killed, who was taken by surprise. Thus, the Salieri family became the most powerful criminal organization in the city. In the late 30s, a political campaign was launched, which was directed against the mafia, but even it was suppressed by murder.
Thomas and his companions become friends. Once they suspected their boss of underpayment. They opened a box of cigars and found diamonds there. To compensate for the damage, Tom and Paul rob a bank located in Salieri. A day later, Paulie is killed, and the money disappears. Thomas learns that they must kill him too. Sam offers help, but betrays him. After a lengthy shootout, Tom gets to Sam. He warns him of problems. Thomas cannot forgive him and kills him.
Crucial moment
After everything that happened, Tom leaves the country, taking his family with him. But, not wanting to repeat the fate of Frank, after a while he secretly went back and told his story to the detective. So, he became a member of the witness protection program.
For some time he was in a safe place and described in detail his life, as well as his work for the mafia. After that, having changed his name, Thomas moves with his family to another city, where he hopes for a quiet life. He gets a job as a driver in a large company. Many of the Salieri clan, due to his testimony, went to prison, and some were executed.
Death
Many years later, two people drove up to the house of an elderly Thomas Angelo, who later became the heroes of the game "Mafia 2" - Vito Scaletto and Joe Barbaro. After making sure that they have the right person in front of them, they send him greetings from Salieri and kill him.
Despite the inconsistency of the character, fans of the game liked him. By the way, the murder scene not only ends the first part. Mafia 2 also begins with her. Only in the second part is it made in a more beautiful schedule.
That was the character of Thomas Angelo. Quotes of it are still used by gamers around the world. For example: “You know, this world is not governed by laws written on paper. It is controlled by people ”or“ Anyone who wants too much risks losing absolutely everything. ” The words of this hero are popular. And this means that it was invented not in vain.
