History Characters / TheSopranosTheLupertazzisAndOtherCriminals

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Views homosexuality as an infamous disgrace and orders Vito Spatafore killed for being gay.

* AccidentalMurder: Well, at least on Sil's part. Silvio initiates a cofrontation hitting Dom in the head with a handheld vacuum, and then prompts Carlo to "hit him". However Sil screams "No!" when Carlo reaches for a kitchen knife, apparently having intended to simply beat Dom up to teach him a lesson. When Carlo sticks the knife in Dom's chest, there's no going back for either of them.

* BloodyHilarious: His death is really something to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSoeSscFZX0 behold]]. The BlackComedy extends to the aftermath, with Carlo and Silvio playing cards until the night comes, with Dom's corpse lying in the room feet away from them.

''Carlo:''' Sil hit him first.

-->'''Fat Dom Gamiello came over just to break balls [...] Carlo...\\

* BlameGame: When Tony shows up and sees Dom's corpse, Carlo (who has killed Dom with four stabs) sheepishly pins it on Silvio, who technically did initiate the fatal confrontation.

* TheBrute: Dom is one of the perpetrators of the sadistic murder of [[spoiler: Vito Spatafore.]] He also is big and strong enough that [[spoiler: it requires Sil and Carlo working together to overpower and kill him even with the element of surprise.]]

* FatBastard: His nickname is "Fat Dom" after all!

* AccidentalMurder: Well, at least on Sil's part. He can he heard screaming "No!" when Carlo reaches for the knife, apparently having intended to simply beat Dom up to teach him a lesson. When Carlo sticks the knife in Dom's chest, there's no going back for either of them.

* ContemptCrossfire: Phil obviously hates Doc for whacking his personally handpicked successor, the other Lupertazzi captains already have a low opinion of Doc due to his slimy personality, and he also earns the ire of the [=DiMeo=] family members due to using Silvio has a distraction for Gerry's whacking (Silvio was so close that Gerry's blood splattered on his face and he was deafened by the gunshot).

* LackOfEmpathy: Leotardo personally carries out the murder of his cousin's husband without giving any thought to how this would affect her or her children. This is further shown when he attempts a "pep talk" with her son, choosing to shame him for his behavior as though he has no good reason to act out.

%%* DotingGrandparent: His final scene shows this.

* NeverMyFault: He never takes into account that his stubbornness, pride, and [[HairTriggerTemper quick temper]] caused a lot of people to despise him. Often blaming his problems on his capos, Tony, and 'that animal Blundetto.'

* BerserkButton: He's enraged by his cousin-in-law Vito's homosexuality.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Rusty doesn't appear until after Lorraine is killed, yet he is a high-ranking Lupertazzi capo that is heavily involved in Little Carmine's side during the civil war within the family.

->'''Played by:''' Patti D'Arbanville

** He is also this to Jackie Jr. in a way. Both of them had fathers who were powerful criminal mob bosses who share their name, both aren't really too bright and neither one of them really get any respect. But their fates turn out to be otherwise. Jackie was a young man trying to fast-track into the criminal life dropping out of school and ends up getting killed after the card game stunt leaving Sunshine and his own friends dead. Carmine was an older man, knowing full well the mob life is not worth it, giving the role to Johnny Sack and instead focuses on his own civilian life such as making movies. Carmine also genuinely loved his wife, while Jackie kept cheating on Meadow.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: He murdered his wife, her lover, her aunt, and the mailman.[[note]]The mailman is why he'd be in federal prison; as horrible as the other crimes are, they would normally land you in [[UsefulNotes/AmericanCourts state court]] and state prison. The mailman, however, would be a federal employee, and murdering a mailman is a federal crime.[[/note]]
-->'''Warren:''' [[CrossesTheLineTwice At that point, I had to fully commit]].

** When Vito's son, Vito Jr., engages in rebellious behavior and criminal misconduct out of spite towards his family, Phil isn't wrong to tell the kid that his actions are helping no one, and tries to tell the kid to "be a man" for the sake of his mother, now a widow. However, his lack of sympathy towards the kid prevents any real connection with Vito Jr., and ends up being more of an abrasive lecture than the "pep talk" he wanted it to be

* SuddenlySHOUTING!: Prone to instances of this, such as when he's lobbying to have Ralph Cifaretto killed over the insult to his wife when he plotted to have Carmine Sr. whacked, and the issues with Tony Blundetto.

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler: When the Lupertazzi's attempts to wipe out the Soprano family's leadership in one fell swoop ends up failing, Butchie tries making a vague suggestion to Phil that suing for peace with Jersey might be the pragmatic thing to do. But Phil just responds with contempt for his lack of zeal in the war, and even makes an ImpliedDeathThreat against him. This convinces Butchie to go behind Phil's back, and arrange a sit-down with Tony, Paulie, Albie, and Little Carmine, where they agree to put an end to the hostilities between Jersey and New York, and Butchie even gives Tony his tacit approval to kill Phill.]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: His curb-stomping is essentially the straw that broke the camel's back, with regards to the brewing Soprano/Lupertazzi conflict.

* AmbiguousSituation: There's no way to tell if [[ConsummateLiar Tony]] is saying the truth about his past or if it's just part of his scheme to bond with Christopher, his intended successor. Hence, most of his tropes are "according to Tony".

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: He's given a rare emphatic death, dying after a long illness and surrounded by his anguished family, underscoring that a broken mobster is still a human being. In-universe, even the gangsters who are disappointed in him breaking the Omertà are saddened by his passing and honor his memory.]]
