Aldo Trapani is the main protagonist of the video game The Godfather: The Game, based on the film The Godfather. He also briefly appears in the sequel, The Godfather II, which is based on The Godfather Part II.
Aldo Trapani is the son of Serafina and Johnny Trapani. In the game, Aldo seeks revenge against Don Emilio Barzini for killing his father in the game's introduction. Aldo makes his way as an associate of the Don of the Corleone family in New York throughout the game, by taking over businesses, rackets, and acting as an assassin.
The character is not featured in Mario Puzo's novel, as he is the author of many crimes and missions attributed to other, separate characters from both the novel and the film.
In the first game, he is voiced by Andrew Pifko. His first name is, by default, Aldo, although this may be changed by the player during the character's creation. His surname is revealed on a newspaper clipping gathered by the FBI in the game. The sequel confirmed that Aldo Trapani is the canon name. Pifko did not reprise the role in the sequel, instead, Trapani is voiced by Rick Pasqualone.
The game starts with a cut scene that shows the main character, Aldo Trapani, as a child witnessing his father gunned down in an alley by Emilio Barzini's men, who are the Corleone family's rivals in 1936 New York. Don Vito Corleone, head of the Corleone family, comforts the child, telling him that when he is old enough and the time is right, he will take his revenge. This prompts Trapani's involvement with the family and their business.
