Joseph Barboza was not someone you wanted to have around. People were so terrified of him because of his killing tendencies that he even earned the nickname, "The Animal." After doing some prison time, upon release, he started an elaborate burglary ring and began connections with the Patriarca Crime Family as a contract for hire killer. It is believed he has killed over 26 people. He even once bit part of a man's cheek off in the middle of a fight.
