Information

Biography - Early life

Alberto Falcone is the second son of Carmine Falcone, Gotham's most powerful mob boss, and the younger brother of Sofia and Mario. Alberto attended Harvard University, and then entered Oxford, both achieving excellent grades. However, despite these successes, his father always favors his older siblings Sofia and Mario, while Alberto himself is ignored, which sparked deep jealousy and resentment towards his family. Although Alberto has repeatedly expressed interest in following in his father's footsteps, even offering his help, and becoming the heir to the Falcone criminal empire, Carmine pushes him aside while grooming his other children to take over the "family business" when he is gone. Alberto feels disdained by his father. It is believed that Carmine simply wants him to have a normal life and does not know how to express what he really feels, but other clues seem to indicate that Carmine sees Alberto as a threat to his leadership, given his excellent academic and work record. At some point Alberto married an unknown woman, who apparently died, and had a daughter named Kitrina.

Biography - The Long Halloween

Beginning on Halloween, a mysterious serial killer known as Holiday starts killing gangsters, criminals, and corrupt officials all connected to Carmine Falcone. Holiday apparently kills Alberto on New Year's Eve during a party on his father's yacht. Carmine's sister Carla Viti investigates her nephew's apparent death, as well as that of her son Johnny, only to be murdered herself by Holiday on the Feast of Luperca, a Roman holiday - a reference to Carmine's nickname, "the Roman". Finally, on Labor Day, Alberto, very much alive, reappears and kills his father's main rival, Salvatore Maroni, after the latter disfigures District Attorney Harvey Dent and turns him into the supervillain Two-Face. As he is arrested, Alberto declares that he is Holiday. Carmine offers to use his influence to help Alberto beat the charges, if he only admits to killing Maroni "in self-defense". Alberto refuses, however, smugly saying that his new reputation as Holiday makes him much bigger than his father and all the gangsters in the mob put together. He is convicted of the murders and sentenced to the gas chamber. Although Alberto initially receives the death sentence, his unstable mental state allows him to instead plead insanity. He is institutionalized in Arkham Asylum instead, across the hall from the Calendar Man, another holiday-obsessed villain who is afraid that Holiday might overshadow him.

Biography - The Long Halloween

Despite the warnings of GCPD Captain James Gordon, Alberto is released from Arkham with the help of Janice Porter, Dent's replacement as Gotham's district attorney. He is placed under house arrest at the Falcone compound outside Gotham, with a tracking device on his ankle to prevent him from escaping. While he is under house arrest, his father is kidnapped and murdered by Two-Face. While in the house, Alberto is manipulated by The Scarecrow and Calendar Man into believing that he is being contacted by Carmine's ghost; the Scarecrow, a former psychologist, determines that Alberto is most afraid of his father, and the Calendar Man poses as the Roman's 'ghost' to permanently eliminate his 'rival'. The gun from the Holiday murders is soon left in his possession, which he uses to save Sofia from The Joker. On his father's birthday, Alberto receives another gun to kill Sofia in order to take her place as head of the family; unbeknownst to him, this is part of Two-Face's plan to destroy the Falcone family once and for all. Alberto nearly kills her in a Holiday-style shooting, but ultimately stops himself. Following Porter's death, Two-Face has her body left in Alberto's bed in order to trick him into thinking he had killed her. This time Scarecrow uses his fear toxins to make Alberto hallucinate that his father's voice is commanding him to commit suicide. Alberto then knows that the voice is not real, as his father did not believe in suicide, and he exposes Calendar Man. What happens next is never explicitly shown, but later events suggest that Calendar Man shoots and wounds Alberto, at which point Sofia attacks Calendar Man, breaking his jaw and attaching her brother's ankle monitor to him, leaving him unconscious outside the Falcone estate for Batman and the authorities to find. (Gordon and Batman appear doubtful that Alberto could have injured the Calendar Man so badly himself.)

Biography - The Long Halloween

Sofia then takes her wounded brother to a hiding place in the Falcone mausoleum. There Sofia criticizes Alberto for complaining about the pain, recalling how Carmine had survived five shots to the chest. Alberto replies that he is not his father. Sofia, disgusted, agrees with this assessment and smothers him to death
