In “Grand Theft Auto 3,” mob boss Salvatore Leone serves as an early antagonist. At first, things between Salvatore and protagonist Claude are good, with the latter enjoying the approval of the Leone family due to completing past tasks for associate Luigi Goterelli, caporegime Toni Cipriani, and Salvatore’s son, Joey. However, the relationship sours when Salvatore’s wife, Maria, says that she and Claude began an affair. A marked man by the Leone Family, Claude joins up with the rival Yakuza organization, which orders Claude to kill Salvatore as a sign of loyalty.
