Mafia IIEdit
One year later in 1951, Eddie discovered that Frankie Potts aka Francesco Potenza was a FBI informant and personally oversaw his murder, he hid Frankie's body inside his car's trunk. He later greeted Joe's long time friend Vito Scaletta after serving six years in prison. Eddie along with Joe took him to the Cathouse for a welcome home party. After the party which resulted in both Eddie and Joe becoming drunk, Eddie just remembered his task of disposing Frankie's body after realizing the foul stench. They later buried Frankie's body in the outskirts of Hillwood. Eddie later tasked Joe and Vito to distribute the stolen Big Break Tobacco cigarettes, however they had an unfriendly encounter with the Greasers, which resulted in the truck to be torched. Eddie was angered after hearing this and ordered Joe and Vito to get him his 2,000 dollars, which they did. Harvey Epstein, Frankie the Mick, and Tony disappeared for an unknown cause, after hearing rumors that Luca had something to do with it. Eddie ordered Vito to investigate, later revealing this was true. He was also present when Vito and Joe were made into the family. Eddie and Carlo went to Joe's apartment to discuss a plot to assassinate Clemente at the Empire Arms Hotel. Joe and Vito succeeded in killing Clemente, however Marty was killed in the process, Joe was angry at Eddie because he called Marty's death a "small price to pay". Vito later introduced Eddie to former soldato Henry Tomasino and ordered him to kill Leone Galante. However, Henry spared Galante's life thanks to Vito. Despite this, Eddie still welcomed Henry into the family after hearing that Leo had skipped town. Eddie was sent to pick up the money from Henry after Carlo discovered Henry's unauthorized drug dealing. He later heard of a shootout at the The Red Dragon Restaurant, which caused a bad blood between the Triads and the Mafia families in Empire Bay. Eddie was contacted by the Salieri crime family to assassinate a rat that caused the family's downfall, he assigned Vito and Joe to do the job. He contacted Vito and informed him that Carlo wanted to meet him at the Zavesky Observatory, which ended up in Vito killing Carlo. What became of Eddie remains unknown, although he most likely would become the family's new Don.
PersonalityEdit
He has a weakness for alcohol, scantily clad girls and his own jokes. He earned his living with a career as a lightweight boxer, but ended his career, and joined the Falcone crime family. Like Henry Tomasino, he is also a regular visitor to the Cathouse Strip Club. The fact that he is the unmarried son of Sicilian immigrants is relevant to FBI informants. Eddie has already been arrested for smuggling multiple times and spent a four-year prison sentence in the State Trumpton prison because of illegal cock fights. His alcoholism led him several times already into depression. He can also be described as a "jovial sociopath." He acts as a captain to Joe and Vito on their ascension throughout the ranks of the Falcone crime family.

- In the Mafia II trailer, Eddie was voiced by a different voice actor rather than his current voice actor Joe Hanna.
- Its possible that after Carlo Falcone's death he took over whats left of the family.
- By the end of the game, Eddie's fate is unknown. After Vito and Joe met up with Leone Galante outside the Planetarium, Leo invites them to the Cathouse to celebrate. Since the Cathouse is owned by Eddie, and that the Falcone crime family and the Vinci crime family are rivals, it is possible that Eddie was murdered on the orders of Leo or that Eddie has become a Don himself and has made peace with the Vinci crime family.
- Eddie is one of the characters on the Mafia II game cover along with Vito, Joe and Henry.
- It is revealed in Chapter 7 (In Loving Memory of Francesco Potenza) that one of his favourite singers is Dean Martin. He and Joe can both be heard singing his song Return to Me after Vito's "Welcome Back party".

In the chapter In Loving Memory of Francesco Potenza when Joe and he start singing to the song "Return to Me" and Joe says: "This is the best part" he will say: Oh I don't know the fucking Italians words!" Although this might be due to Eddie being severely intoxicated
