Luciano Carnevale, an Italian music producer entrenched within multiple organized crime syndicates, masquerades as a legitimate entertainment mogul under his alias. His true identity, Salvatore Lucania, connects him to covert operations within the Italian Mafia. He exploits pop star Emilio Baretti’s international concert tours as cover for trafficking illegal arms, leveraging the global events to covertly broker transactions of high-value contraband. Carnevale’s agenda centers on brokering the illicit sale of a rare electromagnetic-disruptive mineral stolen from the fictional nation of Vespania, capable of enabling advanced stealth technology. The ore attracts Alan Smithee, an agent of the Republic of Gillanba, who seeks its military application against a rival state. Carnevale orchestrates the handoff during Emilio’s Tokyo concert, manipulating the singer into proceeding by fabricating death threats to coerce compliance. His methods embody ruthless pragmatism, valuing profit and dominion above human lives. When exposed, Carnevale attempts a desperate airborne escape with Smithee. Aboard the fleeing aircraft, he unleashes catastrophic chaos by firing a minigun indoors, rupturing critical systems and triggering explosive decompression that violently ejects him mid-flight, sealing his fate. Carnevale’s empire is exposed as a pawn in a broader counter-operation spearheaded by Lupin III and his crew, who infiltrate his network to reclaim the ore for Vespania’s government. As a secondary antagonist, his downfall highlights the entanglement of organized crime with global power struggles.
