'''Jack Lupino''' is a high ranking member and the schizophrenic Underboss of the [[New York City]] based [[Punchinello crime family]].
 
  +
'''Jack Lupino''' is the tertiary antagonist of the ''[[Max Payne (Game)|Max Payne]]'' game and main antagonist in Part 1, [[The American Dream]]. He was the underboss of the notorious [[Punchinello Crime Family]] and responsible for the distribution of [[Valkyr]] sales to the criminal world under the boss' orders.
  +
  +
[[Max Payne]] initially suspected Lupino for the frame up and murder of his friend, [[Alex Balder]]. However, this was proven untrue as mobsters conversation, [[Vinnie Gognitti|Vinnie]]'s letter and many occult items show that Lupino went crazy after becoming addicted to V, with [[Mona Sax]] spelling out that Jack couldn't have framed him in the state he was in.
  +
  +
He was killed by Max, who wanted to avenge his friend's death.

===Early life===
Jack Lupino is addicted to [[valkyr]] and is clearly insane, worshipping various devils from many myths and believing that he is a wolf and a messenger of Hell.
 
  +
His name and affiliation imply that he is of Italian heritage. At some point, Jack Lupino joined the crime family of [[Angelo Punchinello]] and became an underboss of the family and Angelo Punchinello's right-hand man. Lupino ran various rackets for the Don with the help of his righthand man Vinnie Gognitti and owned both a [[Lupino's Hotel|hotel]] run by the [[Finito Brothers]] and the nightclub [[RagnaRock]] which he ran himself.
   
  +
At some point prior to 1998-2001, Lupino became addicted to [[Valkyr]] and became clearly insane; worshiping various devils from many myths and believing that he was a wolf and a messenger of Hell. He began to read many mythology and occult books related to devils and demons and made rituals based on these books. He became so mentally unstable from his regular use of V that he blew one of his thugs' brains out because he wanted to see what they would look like splattered on the wall.
Lupino is mentioned several times by Mafia thugs, especially by [[Vinnie Gognitti]]. Gognitti writes that Jack was going crazy, and that he even blew [[Dino|one of his thug]]'s brains out only because he wanted to see what they would look like on the wall. Due to his actions, [[Angelo Punchinello]] threatened Lupino, and said that he'll call out [[The Trio]] if Jack will keep in his behavior.
 
   
  +
He also met Max Payne once, though it is unknown what happened during that meeting. Though it's not shown in the game, the [[Max Payne (Film)|film]] is loosely based on the first game, clearly shows how they met.
Jack Lupino is only seen in his den in the gothic nightclub [[Ragna Rock (location)|Ragna Rock]] and is killed by [[Max Payne (character)|Max Payne]] shortly after. Payne even shot him multiple times after he died, just to make sure he was dead.

====Becoming a suspect====
  +
{{Main|Roscoe Bank Heist}}
  +
  +
In summer 1998, Max Payne's family was murdered by [[Valkyr Test Subjects]], prompting him to seek revenge. In the winter of 2001, Max got information that Lupino may have been the one behind the V trade and so targeted him. Following the death of his partner [[Alex Balder]], Max began to believe that Lupino was behind Alex's death in order to keep the DEA agents away from his business.
  +
  +
====Max Payne's search====
  +
Max arrived at Lupino's Hotel, only to have found the [[Finito Brothers]] in charge and Jack not there. Seeing no other way, Max killed the Finito brothers after they attempt to shoot him dead. Max also killed [[Rico Muerte]] and [[Candy Dawn]], who were staying in the hotel during Payne's time of investigation. Due to his state and other businesses, Lupino had placed his right-hand man [[Vinnie Gognitti]] in charge of a Valkyr deal at the hotel. After the deaths of the Finitos and Rico, Lupino's tenement building was blown up by [[Vladimir Lem]], head of the rival [[Russian Mob]].
  +
  +
Having no other tie to Lupino other than Gognitti, Max tracked down Lupino's right-hand man and confronted him. Gognitti was shot by Max but managed to escape the undercover detective on New York's rooftops. After killing all of the underboss' bodyguards, Max finally captured Gognitti. Max demanded Lupino's whereabouts. After beating him a bit, Gognitti, fearing for his life, told Max that Lupino is located at his own nightclub, [[RagnaRock]].

  +
Around the time Max investigated for Lupino's whereabouts, killing the Finitos and Rico in the progress, as well injuring Gognitti in order to locate the mafia underboss, Don Punchinello, angry at Lupino for his careless actions that brought some police attention, sent him a letter in which he threatens Lupino for his reckless behavior; apparently Lupino did not feel intimidated.
  +
  +
After defeating Gognitti, Max went to RagnaRock. Max fought his way against Lupino's goons and bodyguard. During his way in the club, Max finds many of Lupino's devilish books and rituals, as well the letter sent by the don. After Max read one of Lupino's ritual books, the madman howled and yelled in the club, unsuccessfully sending more goons to kill the detective.
  +
  +
Lupino then finally revealed himself, along with two more bodyguards. After saying strange quotes related to Satanist beliefs, Lupino attacked Max with his powerful [[Sawed-Off Shotgun|sawed-off shotgun]]. The detective managed to kill the insane underboss' remaining men; after a while, Lupino was killed as well.
  +
  +
After Lupino fell, Max emptied an entire mag of his [[Beretta]] into him, to make sure that the monstrous drug dealer was truly dead. He kept shooting him until he was stopped by an [[Mona Sax|unknown woman]].

Lupino's death was the first great fall of the Punchinello Crime Family, and his death was soon followed by that of the Don himself. By 2003, the crime family was still in power and by 2012, it was almost destroyed, leaving an open door for a [[DeMarco Crime Family|rival family]].

Having lost his mind due to abusing the drug Valkyr, Lupino became an insane and psychotic man who worshiped devilish beings and killed anyone without remorse. He began to believe that he was the great Fenris Wolf and even howled like a wolf at his enemies, whom he considered his 'prey'.
  +
  +
Lupino became a very brutal and sadistic man. One of his men Dino was killed by him only to see how his brains would look on his wall. Lupino then killed three more people as a part of his demonic ritual. His murders were all related to his belief that he was the son of a female demonic being, and he stated that he kills for her.

Valkyr made Lupino unstable and nearly unstoppable. His acts of insanity disturbed his right-hand man [[Vinnie Gognitti]], who lived in mortal fear of his boss and wanted to write a letter to Punchinello telling him that Jack had "gone voodoo". His insanity also disturbed several of his associates, including his own boss, [[Angelo Punchinello]], who threatened to send [[the Trio]] to deal with him if he didn't shape up, telling him that he didn't want to think that one of his boys was "not playing with a full deck".

When confronted by Max Payne, Lupino wields a [[Sawed-Off Shotgun]] and [[Molotov Cocktail]]s, chasing after Max Payne alongside his two bodyguards. His shotgun does heavy damage and can kill Max with a single direct hit, but must be reloaded frequently. Lupino himself is extremely durable, which Max attributes to him being heavily dosed with [[Valkyr]]. It takes about 64 rounds of [[Beretta]] 9mm pistol fire to bring him down, though headshots reduce the amount of shots required to kill him, and he can still be stunlocked by full-auto Ingram fire.

Lupino is accompanied by two bodyguards in black trenchcoats, one of which is equipped with a sawed-off shotgun and the other with an [[Ingram]] machine pistol. Additionally, Max will have to fight a large number of bodyguards in Lupino's arena before Lupino will show himself.

"I have tasted the flesh of fallen angels!"
―Jack Lupino, 2001.

Jack Lupino is the tertiary antagonist of the Max Payne game and main antagonist in Part 1, The American Dream. He was the underboss of the notorious Punchinello Crime Family and responsible for the distribution of Valkyr sales to the criminal world under the boss' orders.

Max Payne initially suspected Lupino for the frame up and murder of his friend, Alex Balder. However, this was proven untrue as mobsters conversation, Vinnie's letter and many occult items show that Lupino went crazy after becoming addicted to V, with Mona Sax spelling out that Jack couldn't have framed him in the state he was in.

He was killed by Max, who wanted to avenge his friend's death.

Jack Lupino is a bit overweight medium-sized man. He has a shaved head, a short mustache, beard and hazel eyes. The most notable feature on his face is a tattoo that surrounds his left eye. The tattoo resembles flames.

Jack Lupino's outfit contains a white Aloha shirt with ellipse, twisted shapes colored in black, gray and similar sub-colors. Under the Aloha shirt, he wears a black t-shirt, matching with black pants and shoes.

Equipment and Tactics[]

When confronted by Max Payne, Lupino wields a Sawed-Off Shotgun and Molotov Cocktails, chasing after Max Payne alongside his two bodyguards. His shotgun does heavy damage and can kill Max with a single direct hit, but must be reloaded frequently. Lupino himself is extremely durable, which Max attributes to him being heavily dosed with Valkyr.

Behind the scenes[]

Norse mythology[]

Jack Lupino and his nightclub RagnaRock contain many allusions to Norse mythology. "Lupino" is a surname of Italian origin, meaning "little wolf." Lupino continually makes references to wolves and calls himself "the Wolf." The Fenris Wolf (also known as Fenrir) was a monstrous wolf and son of Loki who was supposed to bring about and play a huge role in Ragnarök - the Norse apocalypse.

Fight strategy[]

Lupino is surrounded by cultists wielding shotguns, Molotov Cocktails, and Ingram. Keep moving and keep firing with a cool head. Despite his somewhat intimidating demeanor, Lupino himself is probably the easiest boss in the game; he uses a sawed-off shotgun and, after he fires his first two shots, he is completely open to any sort of attack. It is possible to even bludgeon him to death easily with a baseball bat. Every time he is hit while he is reloading, he is forced to start his reloading animation over again. To sum it up, kill his henchmen, dodge his first two shots, then finish him off with the weapon of choice.

Max loses all his weapons after his fight with Lupino. Therefore, ammo conservation should not be required when fighting him.

Max Payne 3 multiplayer[]

Jack Lupino is one of the character avatars available in the Classic Character Pack for the multiplayer of the 2012 Max Payne 3. Lupino's model in this game lacks the beard Lupino has in the original game. His tattoo was also altered, now it is more twisting than the original's game version.
