69** BadBoss: ...if a mobster or employee does something he ''really'' doesn't like (such as beat up an employee for information without orders to do so) and he may beat the crap out of them. And if they get arrested for murder and stealing money from his casino and threaten to turn information over to the DA? Then they are screwed.
70* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He cares a lot about his wife and daughters and gets very upset when [[spoiler:Borelli]] is killed by a Milwaukee mob hitman.
71* EvenEvilHasStandards: He dislikes it when civilians get caught in the crossfire during mob confrontations, does not tolerate narcotic use in his operation, goes out of his way to get an innocent employee away from Rizzo's wrath, and "teaches some manners" to a group of young motorcycle punks that threaten a family who gave Vincent and his [[ThoseTwoGuys "associates"]] a ride when the trio was stranded.
72* NiceToTheWaiter: Very much so. He gives his workers pointers on how to get better tips and saves one poor waiter from a fellow mobster with a HairTriggerTemper.
