Mario Falcone

Mario Falcone is an antagonist in ''Batman: Shadow War. ''He is the son of Carmine Falcone.

Criminal Career
Mario Falcone was the son of notorious Gotham City crimelord Carmine Falcone and his wife Louisa, and later became a prominent member of the Falcone crime organization. Also in the crime family was Mario's sister and younger brother Alberto. However, Mario was at one point arrested by Miles O'Hara and Stan Merkel, and a judge had him deported to Italy. When Mario renounced his criminal ways in Italy, tragedy struck when his father was killed back in the U.S.. At some point, Mario was allowed to return to the states and he was responsible for taking over the Falcone crime family and his ambition to lead a normal life ended as taking care of his family was his top priority.

Death
During the bloody war between two of Gotham's most notorious villains, the Joker and the Riddler, Mario returned home from his criminal dealings only to find the Joker sitting in the dining room. The Joker revealed, much to Mario's horror, Louisa's teeth that he removed and formed them as a smile on the table like a sadistic joke. Mario held the Joker at gunpoint and ordered his henchmen to kill him, but suddenly the Joker's one-armed lieutenant, Mr. Hammer, ambushed Mario's men and killed them with his hammer. In the surprised confusion, the Joker smashed a glass and used the broken glass to slit Mario's throat. As Mario died from his severe wounds, he watched as the Joker shot and killed the rest of Mario's henchmen and the final thing Mario witnessed before his painful death is the Joker vandalising a portrait of Carmine with a paintbrush, painting a smile on him and insulting the late gangster.
