Luca Brasi is
Mafia boss Vito Corleone's personal enforcer. His intense brutality unnerves Vito Corleone. In one two-week killing spree, he murders six men who had attempted to assassinate Don Corleone, continuing his ferocious rampage until Vito called a halt to it, ending the "Olive Oil War." Brasi's loyalty to Don Corleone is unquestioned, and he is said to have killed a Corleone
soldier for making the Corleone family look bad. Brasi says he would sooner kill himself than betray the Godfather.
In one early incident Brasi kills two of
Al Capone's henchmen who were hired to assassinate Don Corleone. Brasi subdued both men, binding and then gagging them with towels. As Brasi dismembered one with an ax, the other man, terrified, choked to death on the towel.
