Sam's personality is one of focus and discipline; he carries out his orders without hesitation, never betrays his friends, and demonstrates absolute loyalty to the Don and the code of omerta. However, he is also devoid of any real ambition and lacks initiative, a man who seems destined to always linger in someone else's shadow. Sam Trapani is portrayed as a man of Northern Italian descent, though his surname suggests Sicilian roots. He typically wears a beige or dark-tan double-breasted suit.
