Paulie Lombardo is the deuteragonist of the crime game Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, and its remake Mafia: Definitive Edition. He is a member of the Salieri Crime Family and the best friend of protagonist Tommy Angelo.
He was voiced by William DeMeo in the original game and Jeremy Luke in the remake.
Biography
Paulie and his friend Sam first met Tommy Angelo when on the run from mobsters working for rival Don Morello. Tommy worked as a mere cab driver at this point in his life, and Paulie and Sam forced him at gunpoint to help them escape. Tommy succeeded and the pair got him to drop them off at Salieri's bar, with a grateful Sam saying that Tommy can come to them for a favour anytime in return for his help, and also gave him money for his damaged cab.
The following day Tommy comes for help when chased down by the two mobsters that tried to murder Paulie and Sam the night before. After dealing with them, Sam and Paulie introduce Tommy to Don Salieri, and Paulie aids Tommy in destroying the Morello mobsters vehicles at their bar in revenge. Tommy is later welcomed into the family.
Throughout the course of the 1930s Paulie worked with Tommy and Sam in aiding the family taking over Lost Heaven, which they succeeded after killing Don Morello. Despite the Salieri crime family came on top, Paulie felt dissatisfied with the progression that he was making and planned to make a lot of money on the side. He tried to get Tommy and Sam to agree to robbing a bank, but they backed out due to worry about Don Salieri's reaction, which Paulie initially agreed to. But after finding out that Don Saleri was keeping a secret from them about smuggling in diamonds after making them do a risky job, Tommy agreed to help Paulie, although they decided not to tell Sam due to his extreme loyalty with the family.
Paulie and Tommy rob a bank in Lost Heaven which is a success. Unfortunately Salieri finds out about the unauthorised job and puts out a hit on Paulie and Tommy for their betrayal. Paulie is assassinated by Sam at his apartment, and Sam proceeds to take the money. Tommy discovers the body and realises that the game is up. He is lured to an art museum by Sam under the pretense that he is trying to help, before then revealing his true colours and nearly comes close be being killed. Tommy manages to kill off Sam's goons before catching up to Sam and killing him, avenging Paulie's death.
Trivia
- He is inspired by Tommy DeVito from the 1990 crime film Goodfellas. This is apparent in the remake when he pretends to be antagonistic to Tommy for his "disrespect", but then passes it off as a joke after causing tension.
