Paulie Lombardo

Personality:   Paulie Lombardo is a soldato of the Salieri Crime Family, and the best friend and partner of Tommy Angelo and Sam Trapani. Early Life According to dialogue in Ordinary Routine, Paulie's initiation into the Salieri Crime Family took place sometime in 1920, making him a veteran member of the family of 10 years by then. Largely amiable and friendly, he possesses a fiery temper that, under the right conditions, can trigger bouts of explosive and unpredictable violence. Paulie is shown to be fond of alcohol, particularly getting inebriated frequently during the story, much the chagrin of Don Salieri and Sam. Meeting Tommy Angelo While escaping from Morello's soldiers in 1930, Paulie and Sam encountered Tommy Angelo while he was taking a break from taxi driving. Wounded and on the run, Paulie and Sam coerced Tommy into helping them escape. Paulie later assisted Tommy in exacting revenge on Morello's goons for trashing his taxi cab and this spurred Tommy into joining the Salieri Crime Family. During a supposedly routine revenue collection at Clark's Motel, the trio are ambushed by Morello's men (seeking revenge for their vehicles being wrecked by Tommy). A wounded Paulie nearly escapes the motel. Trouble With The Law In 1932, Paulie was among the crowd when they watch Tommy win the race in place of Mikey Dunne, and later got drunk, prompting Tommy to either take him home, or take him to the Blue Tropics gentleman's club like he requested. Paulie is later tasked with Tommy to deal with a small time gang of hoodlums who were sexually harassing Sarah and accosting other Little Italy residents. Despite initially using only fists, knives, and blunt instruments, the hoodlums start firing, prompting both Tommy and Paulie to shoot back. They severely injure a gang member named Johnny with a gunshot, and unwittingly shoot and kill the gang's leader, Billy Ghilotti, the son of an influential city councillor, Roberto Ghillotti. The elder Ghillotti vows to seek revenge, aiming to eliminate the Salieri Crime Family within Lost Heaven for their role in his son's murder by any means necessary. In 1933, Paulie and Tommy are sent by Don Salieri to meet up with Sam at a remote farm to collect a Canadian whiskey shipment. Once arriving there, they realize the meeting had been intercepted by the Lost Heaven Border Patrol and following a shootout and chase by both police cars and an armored van, the trio manage to escape with the whiskey shipment. Sam, gravely wounded, is taken to a doctor and the shipment deposited at Salieri's warehouse. Paulie later brokers a deal with whiskey dealer William Gates to purchase Kentucky whiskey for Salieri, instead of the original deal for Morello, under the pretense that this shipment was hijacked and stolen by Salieri. Morello's men intercept the deal, wounding William in the process but the whiskey was successfully delivered by the trio. Going After Morello In 1935, Paulie and Sam assist Tommy in escaping from the Lost Heaven Queen, a steamboat, following the successful assassination of Roberto Ghillotti who was celebrating his birthday. Paulie later took part in the second assassination attempt on Sergio Morello, however, Paulie, Sam and Tommy initially fail. Despite their initial failure, Tommy successfully manages to corner and kill Sergio, severely weakening the Morello Crime Family. This was followed by a subsequent attempt on Don Morello. The initial plan involved gunning down Don Morello in front of a theater, but ended up becoming a chase, with Morello not only escaping to the Lost Heaven Airport but boarding a private plane. The plane was shot down by Tommy Angelo and after the crash, the mortally Marcu Morello was finally gunned down by Tommy, putting an end to his crime family and operations, and giving the Salieri Crime Family nearly unopposed control of Lost Heaven's criminal underworld.
