Who is Maria Latore?

Maria is the wife of Salvatore Leone, Don of the Leone family, and stepmother of Joey Leone. GTA Wiki says she once waited tables at Caligula's Palace in Las Venturas, and Wikipedia sums up her place in the family as Salvatore's trophy wife.

What does Maria do in GTA III?

In Grand Theft Auto III, Claude is first sent to look after her on a night out. Maria then tells Salvatore that she and Claude are seeing each other, a story meant to make her husband jealous. The lie nearly gets Claude killed: Wikipedia says Salvatore wires a car to explode and orders Claude to dispose of it. Maria warns him, and her friend Asuka Kasen gets them both to Staunton Island.

Does Maria die at the end of GTA III?

Nobody knows for sure. Wikipedia says Catalina kidnaps Maria and asks Claude for $500,000. In The Exchange he rescues her, and at the very end she is talking when a gunshot cuts her off. GTA Wiki quotes Rockstar as saying no one is sure what happened, so her fate is officially open.

In San Andreas, set in 1992, she has a small part next to Salvatore in Las Venturas. GTA Wiki lists her in the missions Freefall and Saint Mark's Bistro.

Maria in Liberty City Stories
