She is the wife of Howard Saint and the mother of Bobby and John Saint. Livia is the one who mostly responsible for the death of Castle family as she directly ordered the death of the entire family while Howard initially only wanted Castle dead.

She was portrayed by Laura Harring, who also played La Femme in the 2016 Inside remake.

Biography[]

Livia Saint is the wife of the American mobster Howard Saint and the mother of Bobby and John Saint. It's subtly implied that before her marriage, Livia was a sex worker in the seedy streets of Little Cuba (Tampa) until she met Howard. As the wife of Florida's most powerful crime lord, Livia is a respected figure in the city's criminal underworld. She is known for mostly going to the movies once a week.

One night, Bobby is killed thanks due to a mishap caused by Mickey Duka, one of Howard's men, during a botched gun smuggling deal. After Howard finds out that former undercover cop Frank Castle was the one who accidentally caused Bobby's death, he orders his execution after Bobby's funeral, but she then further orders the entire family of Frank Castle to be murdered alongside him. She shows disrespect towards Duka, openly mistreating him for involvement in her son's death. Castle, however, emerges the lone survivor of his family's massacre five months later.

Thanks to information given by Mickey Duka, through her weekly activities, Frank sets her up to trick Howard into believing that Livia was having an affair with his best friend, Quentin Glass, who unbeknownst to Howard was a closeted homosexual. After murdering Quentin in a jealous rage, Howard confronts Livia about the "affair" and shows her Quentin's body wrapped in a carpet. Horrified, she reveals to Howard that Quentin was gay but he doesn't believe her. Howard drives Livia to a bridge near the streets where he first met her and throws her over the bridge. Landing on a train track, Livia has no hope of escape and is subsequently killed by an oncoming train, letting out one final scream of horror before being ran over.

What Livia would never know is that she was set up by Frank Castle as part of his mission of punishment, a "family for a family" situation. John and Howard would join her later in death a few hours later, avenging the Castle family and anyone the Saints ever harmed.

Trivia[]

  • Despite that Livia is the one who causes his family's death because she requests her husband's men to not only kill Frank Castle and that Frank himself engineers her death, she and Frank never interact onscreen.
