Vito Corleone's eldest son and right-hand man. He is seen as the heir to the family, but his hot-headed and impulsive nature is his greatest enemy. Although he is extremely fearless and skilled in street fights and war management, he lacks strategic patience and cunning. After his father is shot, he takes over the leadership of the family and, acting with a thirst for revenge, turns the streets of New York into a bloodbath. He is overly fond of his sister Connie, who is his weakness. As a result of Carlo Rizzi using this weakness to provoke him, he sets out alone and unprotected, and is tragically killed, riddled with bullets in the crossfire set up at the toll booth.
In his childhood, he witnessed the aftermath of his father killing Fanucci and took his first step into the dark world. From his adolescence, with his size and audacity, he was trained by the family's hitmen (Clemenza, Tessio) and became known for his ruthlessness.
He is tall, large-framed, and has a very powerful physique. He has curly hair, full, arched lips, and a sensual yet crude facial expression. He has a body that resembles Roman statues.
