Title(s) | Consigliere |
Luciano "The Fat Man" Fabbri was the Consigliere of the Cuneo crime family from 1923 to 1955 and particpating in the war against the Westies gang. He was a devious man for his enemies, knowing everything about mob warfare, and was a key member of the Cuneos. His hit was thus sanctioned by Corleone Capo Peter Clemenza in 1950 during the Five Families War. He was a war genius and a cunning Consigliere, and was known as "The Fat Man", not only for his girth, but also because of his status.
Biography[]
Fabbri was born in the Sicilian town of Misilmeri. He was raised in New York City, however, when his family immigrated from Sicily, and Fabbri was fluent in both Sicilian and English. Fabbri was a smart thinker and studied law, practicing the lives of a gangster as well as a lawyer. Fabbri was a gunman for Carmine Cuneo in the 1920s in his rise to power, working as his counselor as well. With the thinking of Fabbri and the trigger of Mario DeBellis, the Cuneos destroyed the Westies gang and took over Hell's Kitchen from the rival gangs. Fabbri became known as "The Fat Man" for his heavy weight as well as his high status in the family.
Fabbri worked well with the other families, but was always ready to conduct mob warfare. In the Five Families War, he planned out most of the hit contracts against the Corleone crime family and the other gangs, and in 1950, with most of the fighting over, he planned renewed warfare against the Corleone family.
Death[]
Fabbri was whacked while buying some food from a hot dog vendor. Corleone Underboss Aldo Trapani, equipped with several weapons and lots of ammunition, shot his way through Fabbri's guards and reached Fabbri, taunting him before executing him. Fabbri attempted to fire back with a shotgun but fell victim to a headshot by an Assassin's Pistol. His body was thrown into the East River afterwards.
His death weakened the Cuneos, who in turn killed several Corleone soldati.
