Phillip Cuneo was an Italian Mafiosi and the first boss of the Cuneo Family, one of France City's Five Families of the 2000's. Cuneo was known to be a softer mob boss and middler of his siblings, refusing to sell drugs to children, and rather invested in the chocolate delivery business, using the milk trucks as a front, getting him the nickname "The Chocolate Man" from his involvement in this practice while he also liked him some Swiss cheese. Cuneo was gunned down at the Savannah Hotel in 2011 and replaced as a Don by his youngest son, Carmin Cuneo.
He is a major villain in The Godfather Game.
Biography[]
Phillip Cuneo Sr. was born in the town of Villabate, in Sicily, Italy. In 1996/4 BH him and his family immigrated from Sicily to Old Town, France City, France, on a transport plane, and they were very poor, living in a tenement. Cuneo became involved in pickpocketing and other petty crimes for which he was caught in 2000, but was let off after a fine of €500.
Cuneo managed a small group of robbers known as the "Old Town Boys", and in 2001/1 AH, Cuneo founded the Cuneo Family after befriending Mario DeBellis and killing off the Westies. The Cuneo family was based in Old Town, which became Phillip's new base of operations, building a home for himself near Marseille, France's railroad line's end in northern Old Town, by the seaport.
As a small-time mafiosi, he began his career by extorting Leo's Milk Trucks, a company of milk deliverers, and made lots of money off of the business and even transformed them into chocolate milk deliveries. He also refused to invest in any businesses that could hurt any children, as his wife was always a lover of small ones. Phill gained representation on the Commission by 3 AH and became the Vice-Chairman of it.
Role in the War[]
Cuneo's outfit became one of France's Five Families of organised crime after taking over large amounts of the Barzini Family's turf in Mid Town in 2005 in a gang war that left several dead on both sides, but he arranged a peace treaty by 2009, when drug dealer Virgil Sollozzo arrived in France and arranged cooperation between the families via the drug trade. Barzini family's pony, Diamond Tiara even invited Silver Spoon and two Cuneo men, Fredo Buttowski and Clarence over for a tea party at the Barzini mansion soon after. When the Corleone Family murdered Sollozzo following a year of fighting between their asses, The Five Families Mob War broke out, and Don Cuneo joined the four families' alliance against the Corleones, because Vito Corleone had all of the politicians in his pocket, and he wanted a slice of the winnings for the war. Like the other three families, Phillip lost a lot of revenue with the Turk's (Sollozzo) death.
The Cuneos played a large part in the war, but lost most of their made men and fronts to Corleone attacks. Phillip then arranged some peace with the Corleones in 2011 after the murder of Vito's son, Sonny Corleone, but small-scale turf warfare continued. When Vito Corleone stepped down as boss, his son Michael Corleone prepared to get rid of the last enemies to the family to consolidate Corleone control over France. Cuneo's financial assassin in New Town, Nicholas Klaus, was strangulated just as school started in 2011, giving a large blow to the Family.

Death[]
Cuneo was at the Savannah Hotel in Midtown collecting protection money along with his son, Phillip Cuneo Jr. when Willie Sissy and Charlie Trapani were sent to murder him from Tyler's Top Cuts. As he left the revolving door, he was gunned down on the stairs of the hotel and shot 10 times in the body, and his son Carmin Cuneo became boss.
Personality and traits[]
Cuneo was known as an affable and good-natured figure, who was usually seen wearing a red fedora and carrying copious amounts of sweets in his pockets to bestow upon his children or of his business associates. Such behaviour made him pass by the law unsuspected, kind of like Corleone's Pete Clemenza.
