History[]
The Godfather 6: Cruelest Revenge[]
Draco was a boy when his grandfather Emilio Barzini was alive. The franchise continues into Emilio getting married to a black woman, and it was told that they've loved Draco very much. Draco didn't only lose them. William Savage and his friend Tommy Stark came to burn his safe with money and weapons, and to get rid of his father Nicholas Barzini, the son of Emililo.
He also had an alliance with his secret associate and partner in crime, Connor Theed, who happened to take full control of the CIA after claiming he is fit for it when his ally Chief Midnight was missing in action. They started plotting a scheme of world domination as part of a revenge plan after Nicholas' death and the loss of lots of munitions.
Draco was proposed by Porsche to assist him in finding the key to "The Godfather" weapon of doomsday. However, Porsche betrayed Draco, and Draco retaliated and sort of betrayed back, also managing to turn all of his subordinates against him so he could have world conquest for himself. Porsche and him become enemies as a result, and Porsche even goes as far as telling his side of the story to William, despite their differences, encouraging him to stop Draco out of personal interest and the need for the world to be only his. Porsche told William one thing really true; Barzini was after him and willing to take everything away from him before he dies.
Draco later goes to a nearby parade in the city center. He plans to bomb up the public event, causing tens of thousands to die. Draco's plans however were foiled again by the CIA, with William, Tommy and the new agent Miranda Midnight directly stopping his acts of terror. William drives a helicopter and crashes into the bomb on purpose so the bomb will fly towards a safer place. Thanks to William, no one died in that moment. Draco however promised to return, and stole Tommy's vehicle to escape the area.
Draco Barzini later plants a bomb inside the hall of a school in which William's daughter Ava and Oswald's son Leodore learn together. All the kids who were inside the hall died at this awful school attack, including Leodore, thus shaping Draco into a mass child murderer. Leodore begs Ava to tell Oswald that he's gone.
Draco later invades the CIA building and kills two cops, before seemingly overpowering Senior Agent Theed and he manages to kidnap Ava from William and Miranda. Draco then takes her to a canyon, where he forces her to witness what he is about to do to her father. William and Miranda arrive, and as they kiss each other, Theed gives them a rope and says that only one can use it since there is no other rope to use. William gave up on this chance to go to the top and asked Miranda that if he doesn't come back to them, she must look after Ava like her mother. Miranda promises to do so. Theed then watches as Miranda climbs up, and then he betrays William personally and he reveals his involvement in Draco's plot. In this moment, Draco told William that throughout history, Theed was his own enforcer and ally, intending to use the CIA as his own tool and help the crime family take over the world. However, William reveals that he called Tommy for help. Tommy comes and throws a rope down to William so he could climb up. However, Draco has commanded his gigantic drone to shoot the rope, causing it to burn in flames. As the rope is on fire, the fire touches William, and William gets burnt alive. Tragically, William dies after a singing the beggining of the song "Speak Softly Love" until the word "DIE.." and he then collapsed. Draco then reveals that his next target in line is Michael Corleone, and that he knows that he's alive.
The Godfather 7: A Last Call[]
He continues fighting the protagonists, as Amy Savage finds him, and tries to eliminate him and his men, thus managing to down one of his drones, although she only puts herself into a life threatening danger; Amy did not know that Connor would come to her from behind and shoot her with a blaster gun. Draco continues going towards his destination which is the location of The Godfather bomb in a ship which came from a secret British facility near London. However, before he could go any step further, a plane comes to him, with Porsche and Michael Corleone inside of it. The plane shoots at Connor Theed, causing him injury and paralyses until the heroes per chance escape from Draco and Theed. Draco tells Theed to forget about them, as he plans on finally obtaining The Godfather for himself. Despite this, three of Draco's drones manage to eliminate one of the heroes, Miranda Midnight, who earlier promised to take care of Ava but didn't live on to keep her promise to Ava Savage. Draco eventually manages to program and obtain the world's final weapon which could destroy more than a whole country. He makes a video while he's on a ship so the world will view and know that he's the rightful ruler of the entire globe. Achieving world dominance, Draco becomes the head of all authorities, forcing the world to treat Corleone, Porsche, Ava Savage and their allies as criminals.
Draco meets his grandfather Emilio at the bay, as the two discuss about how to use The Godfather for their family's sake of gaining more and more power. Emilio tells Draco to avenge him and therefore unleash the weapon at a secret base in London. However, little does Draco know that The Supreme Cipher is awaiting for his arrival at the base. After Porsche kills Emilio Barzini, Draco goes to the facility/base near London, and he encounters the Cipher, who offers him to join his forces and let him be incharge, Draco at first thinks the Supreme Cipher is the inventor of the weapon, but revealing his secret, The Cipher tells him that he only has the ability to hack nuclear weapons and not to create them. The Cipher also asks Draco to keep this a secret from the world populace, revealing he always tricked the world into thinking that he invented these nukes. Draco then reveals he gave an order to his army; to ambush The Supreme Cipher and his minions. However, The Cipher hacked into one of the bombs, launching it onto Draco's mercenaries and killing thousands of them, thus eliminating any threat from Draco. Draco is shot and seemingly killed by The Cipher, only to wake up for another round against the globe after its revealed only fire can destroy him completely. However, before he sets things back into motion, Ava enters his facility and promises to kill him one final time. Draco sarcastically asks how a girl who is the daughter of the deceased foe William Savage can get rid of him for good. As an answer, Ava unleashes her sword, and the two begin to ruthlessly fight each other in the base. However, surprisingly, Theed hands a fiery bomb over to Ava, allowing her to finally launch the bomb right into Draco's abdomen, causing him to explode a bloody explosion together with the weapon, and die hard.

| ~ Porsche describing the new threat, Draco |
Draco Barzini is a chaotic warlord, who often enjoys committing massive terror attacks and spreading chaos wherever he can. He is also power hungry and tyrannical, as he has no remorse of killing as many as possible for one purpose; giving his crime family power and control over the criminal world across the entire globe. However, unlike Porsche who has no respect, Draco did have a few relieving factors. One is that he cared for his father, grandfather and his entire family. He even seems to have good terms with his ally Connor Theed, despite pretending to be his enemy as part of their plan.
Draco however loves one thing especially in life. He loves revenge more than anything else, and he is willing to take William's life at all costs, but his first aim is to take whatever he had in life before getting him killed. He also has many moments in which he behaves like a chaotic, comical and bloody psychopath, much like Dante from Fast X and The Joker.
Trivia[]
- Draco is the first villain in the franchise to completely succeed with one of his plans at the very least. He is also the first one to murder a main protagonist by killing William.
- He is many times called The Dragon, since he is shown to love dragons in an obsessive way, and his name Draco is similar to the name of the large beast who spits fire.
- Coincidentally, he uses fire a lot in the fanfilm, showing everyone how much of a dragon he is.
- Draco is presented as a "Evil is Cool" villain. His comical moments and ways of expression which don't detract from his villainy are what make him cooler than all other villains of the Godfather franchise. Therefore, he is one of the smartest villains made by HuxRen123.
- To make him better and more cool than he may seem, his line about how his family developed, revealing how a black wife married Emilio once upon a time, is a line that encourages human equality and shows how blacks used to suffer and still suffer from whites, but peace could be made easily when they unite with one another. This line is against racism and is very epic.
