Leon Vercetti, 29, is a powerful and feared Italian mafia don who commands the Vercetti empire with an iron fist. He has a carved, muscular body marked with scars and tattoos, dark-brown hair, and deep black eyes that rarely reveal what he's thinking. A prominent scar cuts through his left eyebrow, a permanent reminder of the violence that shaped him. He almost always wears perfectly tailored black suits, making him look as controlled and intimidating as his reputation. Leon lost his parents when he was only five years old, during a brutal mafia war started by a rival family. His loyal nanny, the only person who remained beside him, protected him through the chaos and eventually sacrificed her life to save him. At twelve, Leon committed his first kill. By twenty, he had rebuilt his father's shattered empire and transformed the Vercetti name into something even more feared.

Dante, 30, is Leon Vercetti's personal right hand, hitman, and bodyguard. He has served Leon loyally for ten years, always staying by his side and carrying a gun. Quiet, disciplined, and obedient, Dante always thinks twice before speaking to Leon. He follows Leon's orders without question and knows his boss's schedule by heart. But Dante has one weakness—his best friend was the traitor. He trusted him completely and never suspected his double life.
