Tony Camonte

The Shame of the Nation

About Me


I'm going to run the whole works. There's only one law - do it first, do it yourself, and keep doing it.
The names Tony "Scarface" Camonte i was a bodyguard for old-fashioned twenties bootlegger Big Louis Costillo, but i "bumped" him off as you all seen me do it in the shadows. I was then grilled by the police, but i tell em nothing and is soon released on a writ of habeus corpus. A newspaper editor predicts this will be the start of a gang war in Chicago among the bootleggers, and the papers will be filled with stories about bodies piling up on the street. After my release I meet up with Johnny Lovo who arranged the hit, and gets handsomely paid off and told he's moving up in the world to be the enforcer for his South Side liquor operation. Also in the swell apartment is Lovo's gorgeous blonde mistress Poppy, someone i immediately was attracted to and plans to acquire along with my plans to take over for Lovo someday.
people say my one "human quality" is that i dearly love my sister Cesca, though in an overbearing protective way. The first time you see us together, i was stoping her from kissing her date in the hallway of their home. But then to show i really cared about her, lays on her a big wad of cash to have some fun--which meets with the disapproval of my mother, who has given up on me but has hopes that her daughter will not take the same path.
In my rise to the top (signaled by a neon sign he admires that faces his apartment that says "The World is Yours -- Cook's Tours") begins a reign of terror with my right-hand man Rinaldo. We make bootleggers buy from them by force, and bomb and shoot those who resist. In one case, we go to a hospital to finish off a rival gangster we previously wounded. After attacking the Irish on the North Side and having their leader O'Hara bumped off by Rinaldo in his flower shop, I proved i was the man to deal with and not Lovo.
Gaffney and his gang use newly obtained machine guns in a drive-by shooting while Poppy and i are in a restaurant. Lovo is wounded at a different location, and berates me for raiding the North Side and causing all this trouble. I then fall in love with the machine gun i gets off a dead hood and immediately retaliates by attacking with my boys the North Side on Valentine's Day dressed as cops, lining up seven of the top rival leaders and mowing them down. Gaffney figures he's next and goes on the lam. Soon Gaffney is gunned down in a bowling alley. At a nightclub, i was dancing with Poppy while Lovo acts scared and jealous by his table. When i spot Cesca dancing, i become insanely paternal taking her home and hitting her. While in my car i was shot at and driven off the road, and later realizes it was Lovo. Rinaldo and i meet up again with Lovo, and the pleading gangsters begs that they spare his life. But i ordered Rinaldo to shoot him. So he did.
I went on a vacation to Florida and learning from his mother that his sister is living with a man. In a jealous rage, i found her with Rinaldo and i gunned him down, not realizing they married. My downfall comes as the police surround me and kills off my loyal inner circle and then in a shootout kill my sister, leaving me alone. I then is killed as i tried to run from the police rather than be captured.I WAS THE ORIGINAL SCARFACE (loosly based on Al Capone.)
