Backstory: Tony's father was allegedly killed by a rival mob family and left floating in the river when Tony was 4. Tony and Ray were taken in by Frederico, one of his father's brothers, after his mother died two years later. Tony's troubled childhood continued and he dropped out of school at 16. He spent 18 months in jail. After his release, his uncle reeled him in and tried to discipline him, but when Frederico died of cardiac arrest, Tony began insulting the other families, one of which put a contract on Tony's life.
Chronology:  
2000 Tony comes to Springfield seeking refuge from other crime families. His cousin, Danny Santos, gets him off the hook and gives him a job but Tony is eager to take on more responsibility within the family. Tony becomes interested in Marah Lewis and the two continue to see one another despite their families' objections.
2001 Tony's relationship with Marah is a stormy one and they eventually break up although they still harbor secret desires for one another. Catalina Quesada, who has a crush on Tony, provides a shoulder for him to lean on. Tony throws himself into work, heading up the Santos crime family when Danny makes his final break from the family.
2002 Tony continues to date Catalina despite his feelings for Marah. He becomes angry when he finds out that Marah is dating Ben Reade and warns her that he is not the guy for Marah. Tony is unaware that Catalina and Ben are working together to separate he and Marah for good. When Tony learns that Cat is pregnant with his child, he believes that the right thing to do is ask her to marry him in order to create a family for their child. Tony is unaware that Cat lost the baby, and is determined to marry Cat despite what anyone has to say. Cat is murdered shortly after their wedding and he thinks that Marah killed her. In order to protect Marah, Tony confesses to the murder. He later fakes a heart attack to get out of jail and try to find out who the real murderer is. He and Marah realize that they should have never denied their love for each other and they reconcile. But then, Romeo tells Tony that he slept with Marah and the pair breaks up.
