* ResignationsNotAccepted: [[spoiler: He decides to defect to the Lupertazzis during their war with the [DiMeo=] family in Season 6, then makes the mistake of trying to get Silvio to defect with him. Sil promptly kills him for his disloyalty.]]

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: Burt decides that he's going to defect to the Lupertazzis during the war with New York and tries to get Silvio, who is easily Tony's most loyal underling, to join him. He then turns his back on Silvio when the latter appears unannounced at his house and is promptly garroted to death.]]

* {{Turncoat}}: During the war with New York in Season 6, Burt decides to defect to the Lupertazzis]].

An enforcer and soldier and Carlo Gervasi's cousin. Introduced late in Season 5.

* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: During the war with New York in Season 6, [[spoiler: Burt decides to defect to the Lupertazzis and makes the mistake of inviting Silvio to join him. Sil promptly garrotes him in his living room]].
-->'''Tony:''' He thought you'd join him?
-->'''Silvio:''' And he got an answer.
* SatelliteCharacter: He exists mainly to bulk out the Jersey crew's numbers and doesn't appear in many episodes prior to [[spoiler: his death at Silvio's hands]].

* PassedOverPromotion: By Christopher when Paulie is sent to jail.

* TheResenter: He is very much aware that his twin brother, Philly, was whacked on Tony's orders, and at one point he goes as far as walking into Tony's garden with a loaded gun and the intent to kill him, though he just barely manages to suppress his anger enough to not go through with it at the last second, with Tony none the wiser. He eventually buries the hatchet, [[spoiler:although one interpretation of the finale would argue he hasn't]].

* TheBigGuy: He's the most physically formidable member of Tony's crew.

* UncertainDoom: His last mention in the show is when Tony claims he called a few people in Italy and Furio will be killed if the wrong person sees him. However, given he says this to Carmela when they are arguing, it's possible he was bluffing and just wanted to hurt her.

* EvilFormerFriend: Although the "former" part is news to Tony, it's revealed that he has been simmering in repressed rage against Tony for ''years'', and [[spoiler: became an FBI agent]].

->'''Played by:''' Al Sapienza

A young enforcer and friend of Chris Moltisanti who gradually rises up to become a high-ranking soldier in the Di Meo family.

-->'''Jackie Sr.''': Thank God he left. He's a [[NiceGuy nice guy]] but he's like the grim fucking reaper.

* EvilVirtues: Loyalty; he backs Junior against all of his rivals even when Tony's faction holds the stronger position. Cast off at the very end, where he futilely tries to put Brendan's murder on Junior rather than himself (a lie).

* ForgottenFallenFriend: Inverted. His enemies in Tony's crew recall him plenty of times after his death, but Junior never mentions him again.

->'''Played by:''' Burt Young

->'''Played by:''' Frank John Hughes

* LooseLips: While Tony's motivation for ordering the hit on Philly was mainly political in nature, as he was one of the likely candidate to ascend to boss after Junior's incarceration, it is implied that it was also at least partially because Tony resented Philly's gossipy nature on [[ItsPersonal a personal level]], blaming him for starting the rumor that he attempted to strangle his mother.

* AlliterativeName: '''P'''hillip '''P'''arisi. Though the fact that his nickname was "Spoons", means it was in play to a lesser degree than his twin, Patsy.

Enforcer and Patsy's younger twin brother introduced in Season 2 premiere.

Enforcer and Patsy's younger brother introduced in Season 2 premiere.

* TheSociopath: He doesn't have many moral standards besides those that keep him from getting killed. He will maim, threaten, and murder without any feeling. His threat to murder Gloria includes a subtely terrifying rape threat, and he generally lacks empathy. It's downplayed -- by comparison with his fellow mobsters -- when he's openly unconcerned by [[spoiler:Vito's homosexuality]].

* AffablyEvil: A [[ZigzaggedTrope zig-zag]] between this and FauxAffablyEvil. Despite being a hardened criminal, he's a benevolent mentor to the hotheaded Christopher Moltisanti, whose easygoing personality belies his unwavering loyalty to Tony Soprano. He also served as AJ's sponsor for his confirmation, offering some adult advice. However, though a loving father, he's a ruthless heroin trafficker and [[DomesticAbuser at times an abusive husband]].

* TheSociopath: He doesn't have any moral standards besides those that keep him from getting killed. He will maim, threaten, and murder without any feeling. His threat to murder Gloria includes a subtely terrifying rape threat, and he has a complete lack of empathy.

* AlasPoorVillain: As awful a man as Baccala is, seeing this reportedly “proud man” and feared mob enforcer reduced to a walking asthma attack who can barely stand up can be pretty upsetting.

Enforcer introduced in Season 2 premiere.
