Tomasino Cinquemani was a lieutenant of Giuseppe Mariposa.
Biography
A brutal and efficient enforcer with Mariposa from the earlier days,Tomasimo Cinquemani helped his boss' rise, eliminating Giacomo LaConti in order to help flush out his father Rosario. Cinquemani was nicknamed The Dentist because his preferred way of making someone talk was to pull out their teeth with pliers. Cinquemani was described as a hairy lumbering hulk who looked like a dressed up ape. The day after The Irish Gang attempted to assassinate Luca Brasi Luca accosted Cinquemani and his crew. After killing two associates and abducting a third (who he later killed) Luca Brasi pistol whipped Cinquemani leaving two permanent scars under his eye.
However, Cinquemani, as with many other of Mariposa's lieutenants, became unsure of his allegiance after several of his bosses actions, and betrayed him to Vito Corleone, taking a direct hand in the murder himself in 1934.
