What is the name of Tony’s cousin who becomes a made man? Christopher Moltisanti is Tony Soprano’s protégé and becomes a made man in The Sopranos’ third season.

Christopher begins the series as an ambitious associate eager to rise within the DiMeo crime family. Tony treats him like a nephew and repeatedly gives him sensitive assignments, but Christopher’s impulsiveness, violence, and substance abuse create serious problems. His promotion reflects Tony’s hope that Christopher might eventually become a major leader.

Christopher’s formal induction follows years of criminal work, including making his bones by killing Emil Kolar. After becoming made, he inherits a betting operation and remains involved in increasingly important schemes. He later rises to acting capo and then capo, although his instability repeatedly threatens his advancement.

The family relationship is more complicated than the question’s wording suggests. Tony affectionately calls Christopher his nephew, but Christopher is actually related to Tony through Carmela’s family and is also connected to Tony Blundetto. The other options are separate characters: Silvio Dante is Tony’s consigliere, Paulie Walnuts is a longtime soldier, and Bobby Baccalieri later becomes a captain.
