Lucio Marcano is a character mentioned in Mafia III and Mafia: Definitive Edition.
History[]
He was a capo in the Marcano Crime Family and Sal Marcano's brother.
Born as the son of Valerio Marcano, a low-level and disgraced member of the Carillo Crime Family, Lucio lived with his father and brothers in a shed in River Row and was arrested along with his brothers Sal and Lou at a Louisiana State Penitentiary at Cordoba for a series of robberies and crimes around New Bordeaux, while their youngest brother Tommy was in elementary school.
In 1934, Sal had his own father killed and blamed Giuseppe Carillo for the hit, convincing Lucio, Lou and their underlings to declare war on Carillo. That same year, while Carillo was dining at a popular Italian restaurant in the French Ward, the Marcano brothers and their crew ambushed Carillo and shot the place up, killing Giuseppe Carillo and 18 of his men and guests.
After Carillo's murder, the Marcano family took over New Bordeaux. Lucio helped his brother Lou organize prostitution rackets around the city, building up some high-class and rich clientele in Frisco Fields. In the process, he ended up meeting and dating Olivia Grady, a young rich woman. Despite her parents despising Lucio due to him being a pimp and a pusher, he married her in 1949.
After that, Lucio got Olivia involved in the Marcano family businesses, and would often take her with him to businesses involving fast cars, automatic weapons, as well as recreational drug use. However, in 1962, Lucio was found dead with his throat slit, allegedly by one of his prostitutes. However, it is said that Olivia hired some men to kill her husband so she could take over his operations. In a dossier on Olivia, John Donovan suspects the latter reason behind Lucio's demise.
