Aldo Trapani is the main protagonist of The Godfather: The Game and the overarching protagonist of its sequel The Godfather II.
He is a mobster in the Corleone Family who aids in their takeover of New York City and New Jersey during the war with the Commission and Five rival Families, whilst rising in the ranks from a regular mobster lackey to Don. He appears a minor, non-playable character in the sequel game The Godfather II, in which his protagonist role is replaced by Dominic, while Trapani gets killed off and the game acts like he never existed.
He is voiced by Andrew Pifko in the first game and Rick Pasqualone (best known as Vito Scaletta in the Mafia franchise) in the sequel.
Biography[]
When he is a child Aldo witnesses his father being murdered on the orders of mob boss Emilio Barzini. Vito Corleone, the boss of his father and a close friend, tells a young Aldo that he will one day get his revenge while twisting his arm around.
Nine years later, Aldo is now a young man and becomes involved in the Corleone crime family after being saved from Bowery thugs by Vito's lead henchman, Luca Brasi. Luca takes Aldo under his new wing and goes over details of life working for the mob, for which Aldo will work, and teaches Aldo on how to fight, extort businesses to pay protection to their family, and to also use a gun to shot people. Aldo later takes Luca for a meeting with Virgil Sollozzo and Bruno Tattaglia on the orders of Don Corleone at a Tattaglia stripclub. Although Aldo witnesses from a window Luca being garroted by the men, he is unable to react fast enough to save his mentor. Although unable to kill either Sollozzo or Bruno at the time as they escaped, he does manage to kill Luca's assassin, Salvatore Manetti and escapes the police.
The following day Aldo meets Corleone associate Marty "Monk" Malone, known for his ugly sight, at a barbershop to inform him about Luca's death. At that moment Don Corleone is gunned down by Tattaglia mobsters across the street, with Monk being killed during the shootout while Dino the barber, and the Don survive. Aldo rescues Monk's sister Frankie during the shootout as she is held hostage by Norm Felichelli. Aldo and Vito's son Fredo escort Vito's ambulance safely to the hospital when their road to Brooklyn is cut off and Aldo fights off any mobsters that try to make an attempt on his life.
Later that night, Aldo is sent to protect Vito at the hospital and finds it empty, as Captain McCluskey is corrupted and told his men off. He flirts with Frankie, who brought some flowers for Vito. Moments later, however, they are ambushed by an assassin, whom Aldo kills as the assassin tried to kill Vito. Vito's son Michael Corleone arrives and Aldo holds off any further assassins whilst Michael gets his father moved to another room. After helping Frankie escape to safety, Aldo and Michael regroup and head outside, where they are attacked by Captain Mark McCluskey, who breaks Michael's jaw and Joe Galtasino, who grabs Trapani's collar. Thankfully Tom Hagen arrives with men to help protect Vito, and threatens McCluskey, who is in Sollozzo's pocket, with legal action unless he backs himself and his men away.
The next day, Trapani is ordered by Clemenza to head over to Rosa's where a party is going on and Aldo will have some time to relax. While the party begins smoothly, this all ends when Galatsino and his corrupt men barge in and take Rosa. Trapani manages to save Rosa and kill Galtasino, shooting him off a rooftop and making his death look like an accident.

Trivia[]
- In the first game Aldo's name can be modified when the player creates a new game, although it is canonically revealed to be Aldo Trapani in the sequel.
- A newspaper clipping in the first game gives Aldo's nickname as "The Player".
- However, a woman at Rosa's party (named Dolores Mulva), refers to Aldo as Charlie. Charlie was in fact Aldo's beta name, before the developers changed it to Aldo to make it sound more Italian.
