Character
In the film, Cuneo is the head of the Cuneo crime family, one of the Five Families of New York. He sides with his fellow dons against the most powerful of the five, the Corleones, in Emilio Barzini's plot to take their territory and assets, and spread the heroin trade through New York City.
In the novel, however, Cuneo is not murdered. In Mark Winegardner's sequel, The Godfather Returns, Cuneo is one of the New York dons attempting to keep peace between the Corleones and their enemies.
In The Godfather: The Game, the player is asked to stay and wait until Don Cuneo exits a hotel. When outside the player is prompted to shoot him.

Famous quotes containing the word character:
“The first thing to be done by a biographer in estimating character is to examine the stubs of his victim’s cheque-books.”
—Silas Weir Mitchell (1829–1914)
“The family circle has widened. The worldpool of information fathered by the electric media—movies, Telstar, flight—far surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world’s a sage.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“In the tale proper—where there is no space for development of character or for great profusion and variety of incident—mere construction is, of course, far more imperatively demanded than in the novel.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
