Born Vito Andolini in 1892 in Corleone, Sicily, Don Vito Corleone's parents were murdered when he was 9 years old.

He fled to New York where he soon climbed up the ladder of petty crime and performing favors in return for loyalty.

His other "business" interests were in gambling, bootlegging and murder, through which he used both to amass a fortune and accquire an olive oil business as a legal front for his criminal organisation.

The Don survived an assasination attempt in 1945 after he refused involvement in the growing narcortics trade.

In July 1955, Don Corleone died from a heart attack, leaving his son Michael to assume the position of Don.
