Biography[]

Background[]

John Abruzzi was born in the year of 1953 on the 27th day of September, he eventually becomes the don of Don of the Abruzzi Family of the Chicago Mafia and has a wife and 3 children, one of them, Luca, showing up in season 5. He was arrested for conspiracy of two murders and attempted assassination of Fibonacci and was sentenced 120 years in Fox River

Abruzzi was a former mafia boss and was thus treated better than most inmates. With his power, he starts a prison gang that had ties to Philly Falzone and controls the Prison Industry for the convicts and was feared and respected by the cons. He was allowed certain autonomy and freedom inside the prison and payrolled several guards, mainly Brad Bellick and sought to get revenge on the man who got him arrested

Season 1[]

When Abruzzi finds out Michael knows where Fibonacci is he is initially patient but when Philly Falzone threatens his family Abruzzi accelerates his plan and tried to torture the information out of Michael. Abruzzi allies with Michael's other enemy T-Bag but immediately betrays him, sending him to the infirmary.

Abruzzi and Michael enter an uneasy alliance. Despite his ruthlessness Abruzzi shows furthers moral standards when he joins Michael and his brother Lincoln in opposing T-Bag's plan to Kill CO Bob Hudson to cover up the escape plan. When Gus Fiorello Betrays Abruzzi and gets control of prison industries Abruzzi grinds a light bulb into his eye. Michael helps Abruzzi trick Philly into getting himself arrested.

Abruzzi then threatens Michael's friend Veronica Donovan (later, it is revealed that he has already gotten lawyer Nick Savrinn to spy on Veronica so she can be used as leverage against Michael to make him give up Fibonacci).

The team realize someone has to go. T-Bag knows it will probably be him, so he calls his cousin James and tells him to rat on the team if he doesn't hear from him twenty minutes before the escape. Abruzzi orders his guy on the outside to kidnap James. However, James is killed in self-defense and uses his son as a human shield. Abruzzi suffers guilt from causing a child's death and has a religious conversion.

Abruzzi tries to force T-Bag out of the escape but spares his life, thinking his grief is punishment enough. This backfires as T-Bag slashes his throat. When Abruzzi returns, he claims to have forgiven T-Bag. Indeed, When T-Bag handcuffs himself to Michael during the escape Abruzzi cuts only his hand off, giving him a chance to survive instead of cutting of his head like he easily could have.

Season 2[]

After the escape, Abruzzi lives peacefully with his family for a short time, seemingly happy to forget about Fibonacci. When Abruzzi gets a tip-off about Fibonacci 's location he can't help but pursue it, turning out to be a trap by FBI Agent Alexander Mahone. In self-defense, Mahone and his men shoot him dead.
