 Vincent Mancini-Corleone
Vincent was the illegitimate son of Sonny Corleone and Lucy Mancini, born in 1948 (this plotline seems exclusive to the movie, as it directly contradicts book's assurances that Lucy Mancini had not gotten pregnant by Sonny).
He endeared himself to his uncle, Michael Corleone, in 1979 by trying to protect him from rival Mafia families, and the aging Don took the hot-headed, irrational, violent young man under his wing to try to redeem him, as a way to redeem his own bloody past.
Vincent, in opposition to the morals of his predecessors, was to have involved the family in drug dealing, trafficking, and shipping cocaine, driving the Corleone clan into corruption, sleaze and their eventual decline.

As the love interest of the aspirant new Don, Vincent Corleone, played by Andy Garcia, she has to have the pluck to go against her father's wishes; she also has to be a bit of a vamp capable of seducing her fiery cousin.

There is also Kay Corleone (Diane Keaton), of course, still the woman Michael loves, and the mother of his children.
This trait of operatic plotting and betrayal is practiced beautifully by Connie Corleone (Talia Shire), Michael's sister, who has turned in middle age into a fierce, thin-faced woman in fl, who stands in the deepest shadows, who schemes and lobbies for her favorites - especially for Vincent, whom she wants Michael to accept and embrace.

That character of course is Michael Corleone; and when he's played by an actor of such class as Pacino, the movie can't fail.
Michael has always been the most interesting character of the series for me, and is the fulcrum around which the entire series revolves; more so than Marlon Brando, who was nevertheless the first to essay the character of 'the Don'.
The entire trilogy is a series which demands to be seen by all those who call themselves film fans, and the third is not a blight on the other two, but rather a quality addition that enriches far more than it detracts.

Clemenza is one of two caporegimes in the Corleone Family (the other being Salvatore Tessio), ruling over the family's territory in Little Italy.
Clemenza died under suspicious circumstances (reportedly a heart attack, although his soldiers disputed this) shortly before 1959, when the latter-day events of The Godfather Part II take place, and was succeeded by underling Frank Pentangeli.
Neither Clemenza nor Michael Corleone are featured on the film version of the novel, presumably because of copyright restrictions on the Godfather film franchise.
