Giuseppe "Butterfly" Mariposa was an Italian-Spanish mob boss who was the founder of Mariposa's Gang, one of the many gangs that were planned out to become the only survivors of the Pacification of France. Mariposa became boss of his own gang following his destruction of the LaConti gang and took over Mid Town from the rival gangs, becoming the strongest boss in France since the Castellammarese War ended in 1996. However, in the Olive Oil War of 1998 to 2001, he was killed by being thrown off a warehouse roof by Corleone's soldato named Richie Pisano when Vito Corleone rose to power. Mariposa, however wasn't such a big obstacle in his way at all, and Vito had to focus on Don Dominiski and Massimo Fanucci first.
