Frankie Toscani used to be a crimelord in New York.
History
His family were having trouble with a russian mob, so when they retaliated, it hit them hard. One night, Frankie met a girl at a bar. She seduced him and invited him to her house. Little did he know, she worked for the russians. Upon stepping at her door, he was knocked unconscious, tied into a chair and had his penis chopped off. His family ignored him ever since.[1]
Some time later, Herr Starr hired Frankie to torture and slowly kill Cassidy, who was locked in a basement in Masada. Frankie accepted, as this is the only way to feel any kind of pleasure after the incident. From a higher ground than Cassidy, Frankie would repeatedly shoot and disembowel him, in an attempt to wear him out of his regenerative powers. Eventually, Jesse Custer came to his rescue.[2]. After fighting through Allfather's forces and confronting Herr Starr, Custer found Cassidy's location. By using the power of Genesis, Jesse commanded Toscani to miss all his shots. Once he got close enough to him, Jesse punched Toscani to Cassidy's level, breaking his neck. While unable to move, Cassidy drank all his blood in order to get his strength back.[3]
