Enzo is an undertaker and underground informant whom befriended Bayonetta shortly after she awoke from her five century-long slumber. He is a frequent patron to the Gates of Hell.[2]

In the first game and Bayonetta: Bloody Fate, Enzo strikes a deal with Bayonetta to provide her with crucial information regarding the Eyes of the World that leads her to Vigrid. In Bayonetta 2, Enzo accompanies Bayonetta during her Christmas shopping after she completes another job for him, eventually taking her to Noatun on her quest to save Jeanne, much to his chagrin.[3]

Appearance

Enzo is portly in body shape and boasts a deep coarse Brooklyn accent, keeping his hair in a ponytail and having rather long sideburns.

In the first game, he wears a green winter coat and red scarf, the suit underneath being black with a white shirt. His shoes and gloves are a brown colour and his gloves feature many different rings as if to display what wealth he has. Enzo also has a round black hat and wears dark-lensed glasses with black frames. 

In Bayonetta 2, Enzo's coat is now a purple colour and is much longer than before, with a white scarf hung loosely around the neck. The suit underneath is now a lightened grey colour and he wear a pink striped shirt and green tie underneath it. Enzo keeps his gloves, multiple rings and hairstyle and wears a white hat to match the rest of his outfit.

Personality

With an attitude that shows a lust for money and wealth, possibly from the more shady activities an information broker gets involved with, Enzo is always looking to increase profits for himself, even using a string of suicides by human followers of Jubileus the Creator to overcharge clients for funerals. After meeting Bayonetta, he proclaims to hate angels and even says he'd beat them up if he could see them. Bad luck seems to follow Enzo and he frequently finds himself in crazy and humiliating situations just from being around Bayonetta, especially when the angels appear.[2] He has been a frequent customer of The Gates of Hell and consequently owes Rodin a lot of money as part of a tab he can't pay off. Despite his appearance, however, Enzo is a devoted family man and loves both his children and wife dearly and even mourned them when they were seemingly killed when the Homunculi invaded New York City.[4]

Story

Bayonetta

Enzo makes his first appearance attending the funeral for the renowned "Eggman the Destroyer", seeming glad at the situation and cracking jokes, though failing to get a reaction from the nun performing the ceremony. As the nun reveals herself to be Bayonetta, Enzo tries to take cover from the ensuing fight and is briefly carried off by the angels. When Bayonetta goes to save him, she accidentally wrecks his car by landing on its hood, with Enzo unaware of who is responsible due to the fighting taking place in Purgatorio.

After the angels have been taken care of, Enzo is attacked alongside Bayonetta while on the way to the Gates Of Hell. Jeanne and the angels crash a transport plane into the highway and Bayonetta keeps him from harm until her opponent vanishes.

Enzo gives Bayonetta the information he has regarding the Eyes of the World, explaining how the apparent second stone of the pair was recently put on the black market. Having tracked down the original seller, he points her towards the European city of Vigrid as part of their deal of taking care of Eggman's funeral for information.

Enzo doesn't make an appearance again until the end of the game when he is attending Bayonetta's apparent funeral with Rodin and Luka. He is quickly forced to hide himself from the sudden fighting that breaks out as it is revealed the funeral was another ruse in order to lure the angels. In the post-credits scene, Bayonetta is shown to have once again destroyed his car, much to Enzo's dismay.

Bayonetta: Bloody Fate

Enzo serves as the primary source of information regarding Bayonetta's circumstances in Bloody Fate, though not as in depth as in the game. Having a less comical personality, Enzo provides Bayonetta with information on Balder and his sudden appearance in public to coincide with the Resurrection festival of the Ragna. He appears near the end of the film, a year after the battle with Jubileus, pondering with Rodin as to where Bayonetta has gone.

Bayonetta 2

Enzo returns in the sequel in a similar role to the first game. He is initially forced to help Bayonetta with her Christmas shopping whilst trying to buy his own presents for his children. After narrowly avoiding being run over by Jeanne on her bike, Enzo is buying a fighter jet toy when he sees a real jet from the Platinum Stars display team heading straight for him as a result of the angels attacking the city. Bayonetta manages to kick it away and save him before fighting the angels herself. He is later seen in Rodin's car as the weapon smith drives along the side of a building in order to gift Bayonetta with her new set of guns.

At the Gates Of Hell, Bayonetta plans her next move in order to rescue Jeanne's soul from Inferno. She forces Enzo to take her there and provide information on the sacred mountain of Fimbulventr. With heavy reluctance but with no real say in the matter, Enzo travels with her to their destination. During the journey, he explains to Bayonetta how the mountain is supposed to link both Paradiso and Inferno to one another and that the actual gates to Inferno have never been found by human hands. As they approach Fimbulventr in a small plane, Bayonetta bids him farewell and jumps off, revealing that she had been controlling the aircraft with her magic and leaves Enzo to panic about how he is supposed to land.

At the end of the game when Bayonetta and Jeanne are out doing some post-holiday shopping, Bayonetta prepares to hand her shopping bag to Enzo before realizing that he isn't with them, remembering that she left him in the plane. The two witches look up to the sky to see Enzo has returned in his plane, with a flock of angels after him. The two then kick the plane into the air prepare to fight the angels.

Trivia

  • At the beginning of the first game, Enzo refers to the funeral he is attending as belonging to "Eggman the Destroyer." While it's possible this could be a reference to the Beatles song "I Am the Walrus," or to Dr. Eggman, the primary antagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series of games by Sega, Hideki Kamiya has stated in his commentary for the game that it was random and that he did not know about the Sonic character at the time the script was written.
  • The license plate on Enzo's car in the first game reads Ed and Edna, which hint at them being the names of his children. In Bayonetta 2, his children are referred to by those names.
  • Enzo's image appears as the Stone Award in both Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 which is given for generally poor performance.
  • Enzo is voiced by Chick Venerra in the first Bayonetta and is voiced by John Kassir, who is best known as the voice of the Crypt Keeper, in Bayonetta 2. Enzo's Japanese voice actor, Wataru Takagi, also shares his voice with Blacker Baron from the Japanese version of Anarchy Reigns and Onibi from Kunoichi.
  • It's confirmed in Bayonetta 2 that Enzo is of Italian heritage, fitting with his stereotypical mobster-like behaviour and attitude. Bayonetta complains about the flying conditions on the way to Noatun being exclusive to 'fat Italians' and Jeanne wonders why there isn't a "short, foulmouthed Italian in earshot" at the end of the game. He also references his 'Nonna', which means grandmother in Italian, and her 'grappa', which is a type of Italian brandy made from grapes.
