Enzo was born in Sicily. When he was only 5, his father sold him to work in Sicily's hellish sulfur mines to pay his own debts, leaving him nothing but a wooden toy horse to his name. Enzo would come to resent his father for this, vowing to kill him if they ever met again.

The Escape Years later, through grit and determination, Enzo and his friend Gaetano had managed to save up enough money to buy their freedom and leave for America, fetching it from a hiding spot deep in the mine. After stealing some food and calling it a day, Enzo and Gaetano had barely begun to relax when Don Ruggero Spadaro and his right-hand man, Il Merlo, ordered everyone back underground.

Despite warnings from the other miners about tremors from nearby Mount Etna, Don Spadaro brushed off their concerns, with Il Merlo ordering Enzo and Gaetano to look for another group of miners that had gone missing. Upon finding the miners dead from fumes, a tremor started a gas explosion, with Gaetano dropping the money during their escape. Against Enzo's wishes, he managed to retrieve it, only to be buried in the collapsed tunnel.

Enraged at his boss' carelessness, Enzo attacked Il Merlo outside. They fought, but Enzo quickly found himself outmatched by his more experienced rival. After managing to cut Il Merlo’s face, Enzo took advantage of another tremor to escape on horseback into Torrisi territory.

Meeting the Torrisi Family That evening, Enzo took refuge in an abandoned farm, only to find Il Merlo, L'Ombra and their thugs had quickly caught up to him. Before they could finish him, they were stopped by Don Bernardo Torrisi and his men, investigating the incursion on their turf. After Torrisi threatens war should they trespass again, Il Merlo and his crew reluctantly left the boy alone. With nowhere else to go, Enzo says he’s capable of manual labor and Luca leads him to the Torrisi vineyard and villa.

Enzo assists Torrisi in his wine business, meeting Cesare, Isabella, Tino, Don Galante and his grandson Leo. After subbing for a horse jockey in a palio and winning, Enzo runs into and is threatened by La Ombra which leads to a knife fight.

Enzo later assists Luca and Cesare with collecting pizzu.

When a visit from the Don's landlord Baron Fontanella leads to the Baron's son, Gennaro and Isabella getting kidnapped, Enzo rescues her, gaining respect from Torrisi. Enzo later learns the kidnapping was arranged by one of Fontanella's former business partners, Ludovici, whom he kills on Torrisi's instructions.

Advertisement Life in the Torrisi Family After completing the job, an impressed Torrisi has Enzo inducted into the family's crime business by swearing on an oath. Soon after, Enzo and Isabella begin a secret relationship. Don Galante enlists the Torrisi family to thwart Spadaro's naval transportation for their money laundering practices and make contacts in America. It goes successful, but Tino reveals to Enzo that the family has a traitor, forcing the family to stop business, where Enzo believes Spadaro is concerned.

After a failed attempt to confront Spadaro, Enzo is sent after Lorenzelli, who is organizing a strike with the Workers' Union. Enzo finds Lorenzelli in his final moments and is later tricked by Il Merlo.

Tino deduces the money laundering plan to have been a trick, and becomes suspicious of Enzo.

During a baptism, Il Merlo attempts to attack the Torrisis, but he is stopped by Enzo and eliminated by Luca. Isabella later confesses her desire to leave the family behind and live in Empire Bay.

Soon after this, Don Torrisi falls victim to an ambush while confronting Don Spadaro, and Fontanella with Don Galante. Despite Enzo's efforts, Don Galante and Luca are killed.

Enzo single-handledly kills both Fontanella and Spadaro. With the traitor killed, the family seizes control of Spadaro's holdings and hunts down the survivors, with Enzo being bequeathed the mine he once escaped from. After he finishes off the last of Spadaro's men, Isabella, now pregnant, persuades Enzo to leave.

Downfall Enzo's final moment Enzo's final moment

Unfortunately, Don Torrisi soon discovers Enzo's affair with Isabella and that she is pregnant. Believing the pregnancy to be an offense of the oath Enzo had taken, Torrisi has Cesare bring him in. After he does so, Don Torrisi gives Enzo a tongue lashing before ordering Cesare to execute him. At this point, Enzo realizes Don Torrisi's true colors but before he can be executed, Mount Etna erupts. During the ensuing chaos, Enzo confronts his friend Cesare, whom he duels in a knife fight. He wins, but spares Cesare before going off to find Isabella.

Escaping through both the shootout and the eruption, Enzo seemingly kills Torrisi before rushing to Isabella’s location. He survives, however, and Torrisi engages Enzo in a knife fight, which ends with the former fatally wounded. Before dying of his injuries, Torrisi proclaims that Enzo cannot change who he is and that he is nothing.

Death After killing Don Torrisi, Cesare shows up again and helps Enzo up onto a hill. Cesare then proclaims that the two of them are now free and can escape together. As the two embrace, Cesare then suddenly stabs Enzo in the side of his gut while saying “I’m sorry,” and lowers Enzo to the ground. As Cesare stares off towards the erupted Mount Etna, Enzo lays on the ground and dies from the stab wound as he bleeds out.

After his death, Cesare found Isabella, having survived and killed Tino, and gave her his final letter and wooden horse while telling her to leave and do not look back. Isabella managed to relocate to America with their unborn child, landing in Empire Bay while tearfully reading his letter to her.

Personality Enzo was ambitious and resilient, seeking a better life for himself and his close friends using any means available to him. He was fiercely protective of his allies, developing a deep hatred of the Spadaro family for enslaving him in the mine for over a decade, and attempting to kill him on numerous occasions. Though initially shy when meeting Isabella, their friendship would eventually blossom into a forbidden romance against her father’s wishes. Despite his loyalty to the Torrisis, Enzo’s compassion would eventually be his undoing, as Cesare did not hesitate to murder him after sparing his life and subsequently killing his uncle, Don Torrisi.

Skills and abilities Despite his age and upbringing, Enzo proved to be a very fast learner in the ways of organized crime. Under Luca's tutelage, he further honed his skills with a knife to the point where he could more than match older opponents in single combat. Though an adept marksman with pistols, shotguns and rifles, Enzo often favored a stealthy approach to combat, using knife throws and tossing coins to distract guards long enough for quiet kills. Years of working underground in near-absolute darkness had sharpened his senses, allowing him to more easily get the drop on enemies.

When it came to the Torrisi's ventures in sports betting, Enzo didn't hesitate to demonstrate his natural equestrianism, easily winning his first horse race for the family in San Celeste. Additionally, he was just as easily able to learn how to drive automobiles (a relatively new invention at the time).

Cesare Massaro is the tritagonist turned tertiary antagonist of Mafia: The Old Country, and the deuteragonist of the Man of Honor DLC.

Background Cesare Massaro was born in Sicily and raised on Torrisi family's vineyard. He is a soldato of the Torrisi Crime Family, the nephew of Bernardo Torrisi, and the partner of Enzo Favara.

As Don Torrisi's nephew, Cesare carries both the weight and privilege of his position. Though he is not a Torrisi by blood, being his nephew by marriage, the Don grudgingly tolerates his wayward behavior. Outwardly confident and eager to prove himself, Cesare never feels truly accepted by his uncle.[1]

Despite bearing no Torrisi blood, Cesare clings to their name as his own, masking deep-rooted self-doubt with swagger, impulsiveness, and a carefully crafted charm. Naively ambitious, he dreams of inheriting the Don's empire, even as his recklessness and reputation for deceit keep him at arm's length from the men whose respect he craves.

It is unknown what became of Cesare after Don Torrisi's death.

Bernardo Torrisi is the main antagonist of Mafia: The Old Country. He is the Don of the Torrisi Crime Family.

Background "Bernardo Torrisi built a powerful criminal enterprise through sheer ruthlessness, later legitimizing his influence through legal ventures like his sprawling vineyard. Feared and respected, he shows compassion to the honest and reserves his scorn for the corrupt. Fiercely proud and deeply protective of his daughter Isabella, Bernardo fears her growing independence, and the shadow his criminality casts over the relationship he cherishes most." — Official Profile Bernardo Torrisi was born in Sicily. He is the father of Isabella Torrisi and the uncle of Cesare Massaro.

Bernardo found success as a criminal thanks to his impressive stature, unwavering loyalty, and penchant for violence. He forced his way into the position of gabellotto - an overseer - on the Fontanella estate, and from there he built his power by taking care of the Baron's dirty work while extorting and intimidating the tenants on his land.[1] His rise to power began in the rugged fields of a family farm lost to debt and his father's ruin. A gifted hunter and provider from an early age, he carved a violent path through Sicily's underworld: earning fear, forging a gang, and eventually building an empire of both criminal and legitimate interests.

On both sides of the law, Bernardo operates with the same ruthless efficiency. But beneath his commanding presence and strict adherence to the code of honor he’s sworn to uphold, lies a man gripped by inner conflict.
