Tommy Vercetti

Personality:   Tommy Vercetti is depicted as both intelligent and temperamental. He is easily angered and quick to resort to violence. He does not hesitate to kill, though many of his victims are trying to kill Tommy, or have done something that guaranteed their deaths. However, Tommy often shows care and sensitivity towards characters like Mercedes Cortez and especially Earnest Kelly, viewing Kelly as a father figure due to his own father working in a printworks, and showing anger and concern when Kelly is injured by Sonny's hitmen. He also seems to have sympathy for children, as he considers Maude Hanson a "psycho" for her antipathy towards children. He also appears to have a distaste of the government and/or the army/police, as he characterizes the events of the Vietnam war "ugly business" when Mitch Baker tells him about how he was "betrayed by his own country", and consistently makes sarcastic comments about the country's military and police force when cops are after him during free roam. Tommy believes in the mafia code and in a sense of honor amongst thieves, but if people cross him, he will go to any lengths to get even with them.[3] Tommy prefers to perform his own work rather than delegate tasks to others. Even after he has his own gang and other subordinates working for him, he usually puts his plans in motion personally. He also personally gets involved if things aren't going as well as he'd like - for example, in the opening cutscene of Bar Brawl, he is irritated by Lance's lazy attitude towards the bar refusing to pay protection money and immediately goes out to settle things himself. Despite his hot temper, Tommy tends to be loyal and trusting, especially toward those who he feels helped him to achieve his goals. He went back to work for Sonny Forelli after being released from prison even though he strongly suspected that Sonny set him up. Another example is Ken Rosenberg, who Tommy chose to let live following his drug problems because of his help with setting up Vercetti's empire. However, the best example is Lance Vance, as although Lance was incompetent and his attitude was becoming negative, Tommy still viewed and attempted to treat Lance as an equal partner, even letting him in on the counterfeiting setup at the Vice City Print Works. When busting Lance's chops once over the phone, Tommy states he's doing so because Lance screwed up: if Tommy ever messed up, he considered it within Lance's full rights to take him to task on it. Tommy was shocked at Lance's betrayal, automatically assuming that Lance was selling out their entire organization rather than himself personally. He notes over the phone that he really didn't think Lance was like that, leading Earnest Kelly to quip: "Tommy, for a raging lunatic, you're pretty naïve". However, a somewhat definite aspect of Tommy’s character is his ability to be selfish and primarily worry about his own personal goals before the needs of others. For example, Tommy would prefer to partake in jobs that allow him to pursue his own interests. An instance of such behaviour is demonstrated in a cutscene while talking to Cortez; despite Cortez having employed Tommy and paid him generously thus far and got him into contact with Ricardo Diaz, Vice City’s most powerful drug dealer, Tommy was impatient and said that he had no time to run more errands, showing a desire for power and greed. Only when Cortez tells Vercetti that he has a chance to gain from the job does Tommy decide to do it. Additionally, another example is how Tommy initially treated Lance with distrust and shrugged off Lance’s grievances about his brother’s death and still insisted on learning more about Diaz’s empire, rather than trying to sympathise with his friend. Despite Ken having assisted in building the Vercetti Gang, Tommy chose to abandon Rosenberg after having been disbarred from the law and due to his cocaine addiction, despite Ken having completed his rehab treatment as mentioned above. Tommy chose to cut all ties rather than at least find the man who stood by him when his closest friends have betrayed him. Tommy, an Italian-American, is portrayed with a tall, swarthy, handsome appearance, combed dark brown, almost black hair, brown eyes, and a five o'clock shadow. He first appears wearing a light blue-green Hawaiian shirt with dark blue palm trees printed on it, a pearl necklace (silver chain necklace in The Definitive Edition), a gold watch around his left wrist, stonewashed blue jeans and white sneakers. Tommy Vercetti was born in Liberty City in 1951. His father worked in a printing shop and as a child, Tommy used to clean the rollers with him. Tommy had planned to follow in his father's footsteps, but, in his own words, "lived a different life". Dialogue spoken by Tommy while fighting indicates that he had a bad relationship with his mother. In his childhood, Tommy befriended his future employer Sonny Forelli. Tommy has a way of speaking with a kind of charming and passive-aggressive tone, having a charming and somewhat seductive tone in his sentences, but still quite complaining
