Don Rigoletto was an infamous Maggia boss and the predecessor to Wilson Fisk, the future Kingpin of Crime, who was Rigoletto's bodyguard. An old-time mobster, he rejected proposals to move into prostitution and drugs like other gangs.^[2] During a later meeting with his generals, he once more turned down proposals to get into criminal enterprises that he considered repugnant. It was during this time that he learned of an attempt on his nephew Dante's life; however, Dante had survived the assault and killed his attacker.^[1]

After the meeting in which he again rejected a move into drugs and prostitution, Rigoletto asked Fisk to give him a massage. Instead, Fisk snapped his neck, killing him instantly.^[2] He was succeeded by a new Don.^[3]
