Biography[]
Past[]
Frank Pagani seemed to have been destined for the underworld on the day he was born. His father was a career criminal who had become proficient at bank robbery. Frank's career started in 1939, working the docks of River Row. He was also married to a woman whom he impregnated. Unfortunately, both Frank's wife and son died during labor, so Frank hopped on a boat and never looked back. This leads to Frank living with a death wish and during the time ends up working with the Marcanos, moving contraband.
The Marcanos work him like a dog, but it does not bother him as it keeps his mind off the grief. When Sal opens up a casino in Cuba, his younger brother Tommy is assigned to manage it and Sal has Frank keep an eye on Tommy. But when Fidel Castro gains control over Cuba, Frank helps Tommy escape the country in one piece to which Sal would never forget. As a reward for saving Tommy, Sal promotes Frank to lieutenant and awards him control of the rackets in Tickfaw Harbor. Frank balks at first but soon realizes he can still head out to sea whenever the mood hits him.
Frank eventually overcame the grief of losing his wife and son as he got remarried to a woman named Tricia, with whom he had three daughters.
Mafia III[]
In 1968, Frank's rackets are attacked and taken by Lincoln Clay. Through his ally John Donovan, Clay learns that Frank is currently in Cuba. After taking over one racket, a phone conversation between Frank and his boss Tommy Marcano is revealed. Frank, who had been in Cuba to collect a printer named Alvarez as well as salvage whatever he could from Sal Marcano's defunct Cuban casino, is now made to return to the States to deal with the mess in Tickfaw Harbor. When the Tanager, a ship registered to Frank, docks in New Bordeaux, Lincoln sneaks aboard to plant a tracking device on Frank's Italian sports car. Lincoln then tracks the car to Pagani's Fine Motors, which is a front for an abandoned counterfeiting operation. Lincoln chases Pagani in a car, who crashes and is confronted in person. Badly hurt, Frank begs for a doctor, to which Lincoln demand Frank spill the beans in order to get help. Frank says he was safeguarding money plates, which Lincoln realized Giorgi Marcano must have stolen when they robbed the Federal Reserve. Frank also talks about smuggling Alvarez in from Cuba. When Lincoln asks where is Alvarez, Frank replies that Tommy Marcano picked him up 15 minutes prior to Lincoln's storming of Pagani's Fine Motors. Frank succumbs to his injuries, his last words being for his wives, his son, and his little girls. Lincoln considers it a hollow victory as he felt he did not extract all the information he could from Frank Pagani, but does him a small favor of closing Frank's eyelids after he expires.
