Sal Maroni (Eric Roberts)

Sal Maroni was born Salvatore Maroni. He was the son of Italian crime lord Luigi Maroni.

Fighting The Russian
Sal Maroni was fighting a power struggle over territory with The Russian, Yuri Dimitrov.

Fighting The Joker
Sal Maroni took over Carmine Falcone's mob. He received help from a Chinese mob accountant named Lau, who hid their money in Hong Kong. Maroni was on trial by D.A. Harvey Dent. Though there wasn't enough evidence to put him in prison and Maroni was released. Later, he discussed the matter of Harvey Dent and recent robberies of their mob banks by the Joker. The Joker himself appeared and offered to kill the Batman for half of their money, but the mob refused.

Sal Maroni was captured in a club and interrogated by Batman. Batman went to extremes, and dropped Maroni off of a fire escape landing from high off the ground both he and Maroni knowing that height wouldn't kill him, but Maroni's ankle was injured. Maroni refused to snitch on the Joker, reminding Batman that he had limits, the Joker didn't.

Later, Maroni finally told Lieutenant James Gordon the Joker's whereabouts.

Sal got into his car, and was confronted by the recently scarred Harvey "Two-Face" Dent, who flipped a coin to decide Maroni's fate. It landed on heads, which meant he would not kill Maroni, but he then flipped the coin to decide the fate of the driver, which landed tails. He shot the driver, causing the car to flip over.

It remains unknown if Salvatore Maroni survived, but Two-Face walked away from the crash.
