George "Jaggy" Jovino was a trucker of the Corleone Family and later a mole in the Barzini Family. He is a supporting villain, former hero in The Godfather Game.
Biography[]
Jovino grew up in Little Town where he became known as a man with his ear to the ground. When Vito Corleone moved here from Old Town, he employed Jovino as an informant. His involvement in the business lead Jaggy becoming close friends with another Irish Pete Clemenza. It was Jovino who got Sonny Corleone started robbing trucks, after Sonny made his bones in the family business. Jovino was also the one who alerted Vito when Sonny was seen beating up his younger brother, Michael Corleone, all around.
Jovino was of only half-Italian descent because his father was Irish, and he became part of Pete Clemenza's regime, closely associating himself with Poli Gatto, another up-and comer. Together, they managed to ensure that most of the smuggling network in France only payed out to the Corleones, which remained the norm until 2010, when the network was sabotaged by Ronnie Tosca.
Role in the war[]
In 2009, shortly after the assassination attempt on Don Corleone, Jovino first met rising enforcer Charlie Trapani at the Falconite social club. He advised Trapani on how to regain control of Little Town by taking down the Tattaglia-owned Verona Factory which wouldn't be taken down until early 2011. He later told the rising mobster to bomb the Tattaglia Mansion in Crazy Town, thus virtually ending the Tattaglia's business in France, but that wouldn't happen until late 2011. This was part of a two-pronged plan masterminded by Sal Tessio that would destroy both key members of the Tattaglia family and most of their distribution network.
Betrayal and Death[]
- "It was George Jovino who set up Michael. He is going to be killed at Tessio's club, the Embassy in Crazy Town. Be sure to know what to do."
- — Tom Hagen to Trapani
However, in 2011, following the erosion of the Corleones' power structure, Jovino turned traitor and began selling information to the Barzini family as he was bribed with 20,000 euros by Sergio Turrera. Willie Sissy drove Jaggy to the Embassy Club, where Trapani was to execute him. However, upon arriving at the club, Jaggy makes a last stand with the Barzini assassins, who would have killed Michael Corleone at the planned sit-down between Don Barzini and Michael. Trapani manages to kill the bodyguards and throws Jaggy out of the window and shoots him in head with a double-barrel Shotgun. Before his death, Jaggy again reiterated that his betrayal was only business. He also pleaded Charlie to spare his life, saying: "Let me go, I wanna live", but despite his cries for mercy, he was killed. Well, his begging for mercy actually depends on the timeline.
Hit detail[]
Jovino's hit is more annoying rather than difficult. While he is a tough Mole due to the hit status, he can be easily taken down with a simple shot to the head as the game only requires you not to hit any of your own Corleone men. However, his guards maybe a trouble since he, like Plinto Ottaviano, has a higher rank guards to protect him.
Trivia[]
- Jaggy, along with Emilio Barzini, Sal Tessio and Vito Corleone, planned the assassination of Santino Corleone at Jones Beach causeway in order to end the Five Families Mob War, as Vito saw Sonny as an accident since birth and agreed to sacrifice him to make peace.
- Perhaps this was what made Jovino think he would have a better chance of working with Barzinis.
- He wore the same outfit as Donato Stracci and Diego Stracci.
