Sonny's Right-Hand Man, also known as The Forelli Capo, is a character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. He is a prominent member of the Forelli Family and serves as Sonny Forelli's main assistant.
History[]
The Forelli Capo is introduced during the beginning of the game, during the discussion about introducing drugs into the Forelli Crime Family with it's leader, Sonny Forelli, and company. The Capo talked about the feasibility of the families backing off from drug deals due to the traditional honor attached to their family, restricting them to murders and crimes such as larceny. However, Sonny objected, stating that they couldn't watch as their enemies profited from business involving narcotics. A drug deal between the Vance Crime Family and the Forelli Family was then set up in Vice City, which was ambushed by Ricardo Diaz's assassins, ending in Peter Vance's death, destroying the deal and forcing Tommy Vercetti, Sonny's henchman, to lock horns with Forelli and the mafia.
The Forelli Capo then accompanied Sonny at the end of the game, to the Vercetti Estate where they ambushed Tommy Vercetti by revealing that Lance Vance was working for them and that Lance had betrayed Tommy. A massive gunfight ensued, eventually ending in the deaths of Sonny and all of his gang members present in the mansion.
Myth[]
During the final clash between Sonny and Tommy, the fate of the Forelli Capo lies in the player's hands, as they must make the decision whether to kill him or not. Players have claimed that leaving the Capo alive will let him loose in the city to assume Sonny's position, playing a major role in the remaining Vice City chapter of the Forelli Crime Family. Some hunters have claimed that the Capo utilized the Family's supplies and assets ported to Vice City as a means of starting his own criminal empire in the area, while others believe he simply returned to Liberty City.
