Butcher [[KnowledgeBroker knows everyone's business]], but prides himself in ostensibly not taking any sides. A streetwise, laid back and loyal friend to Jackie, Butcher ends up being a critical ally in Jackie's feud with his "Uncle" Paulie, providing him with key information and locations to cripple Paulie's business. When Jackie goes after Pualie's business partner, [[DirtyCop Police Captain Eddie Shrote]], Butcher gives Jackie a lead to steal evidence against Shrote, with Butcher putting a bomb in Eddie's briefcase, seeing the deaths of Eddie himself and his officers. After Jackie kills Paulie, Joyce would officially join the Franchettis as run by Jackie, seen remaining a loyal ally even years later.

The game starts with him sending Jackie on a suicide mission to kill a business rival because Jackie started questioning the way he does business, but Paulie has already killed the business rival and strapped his corpse full of explosives as a birthday present, leaving a tape to mock Jackie before he died. When Jackie survives the blast, Paulie gets revenge by blowing up the orphanage that Jackie grew up in, [[WouldHurtAChild killing all the orphans]] and nuns inside and then telling Jackie over the phone it was all his fault. When Jackie starts to ruin Paulie's business dealings, Paulie retaliates by kidnapping Jackie's girlfriend Jenny, bringing her to the orphanage, and then murdering her right in front of Jackie, blaming it all on Jackie for not blindly following orders. Even at the end he shows no remorse for his crimes, telling Jackie that Jenny was a weakness and Jackie shouldn't have cared about her death.
** ''VideoGame/TheDarknessII'': [[FauxAffablyEvil Victor Valente]] is an EvilSorcerer and [[BigBad the leader]] of [[ReligionOfEvil The Brotherhood]], an organization that originally intended out to capture and control the Darkness. The Brotherhood uses organized crime as the front of their operations, and uses a brothel as a base. The game opens with Victor sending a hit squad to attack a restaurant, killing innocent people in the crossfire, as an effort to get Jackie to stop suppressing the Darkness. When Jackie first confronts Victor, he is captured in crucified as Victor tries to extract the Darkness from him. He also sends his men to Jackie's penthouse to kill Jackie's men and kills his Aunt Sarah. Ordering an attack on Sarah's funeral, Victor lures Jackie into a trap, having him sealed in an Iron Maiden. After extracting the Darkness from Jackie, Victor declares that now that he controls it, [[OmnicidalManiac the world will burn]] and kneel before its [[AGodAmI true God]].
