You may be looking for The Godfather (character)

The Godfather is a gangster novel (1969) by Mario Puzo, which was made into an epic gangster film trilogy consisting of three pictures: The Godfather (1972), The Godfather Part II (1974) and The Godfather Part III (1990), all directed by Francis Ford Coppola. In addition to its depiction of gangster life, the film series became well-noted for its theme music and for the iconic scene in the first film where a character wakes up to find his horse's severed head in his bed.

There are numerous references to the Godfather film series in The Simpsons media.

Godfather Wine Glasses.png 6 118 "Homie the Clown" When Homer and Krusty try to do the bicycle trick in front of the mafiosi, Homer's head bumps against a series of wine glasses. The melody that plays as a result is a musical quote of the "Love Theme" from The Godfather, to the delight of the mafiosi.
7 147 "A Fish Called Selma" When Fat Tony sees Troy McClure walking around alive and well he asks "Legs" that he told him McClure was dead? Legs answers: "No what I said was: "He sleeps with the fishes." This is a reference to the death of Luca Brasi in "The Godfather" who is thrown in the canal. Later his killers sent a dead fish to Sonny Corleone with the message: "He sleeps with the fishes."
10 212 "Mayored to the Mob" Homer mocks Fat Tony by asking him whether he is going to call "his godfather"?
11 229 "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?" A mafiosi claims he put a horse head in Homer's bed to prevent him from being a food critic ever again. It turns out that Homer simply ate the head and wrote a negative review about it.

This is a reference to The Godfather, where an old man sings the exact same song during the wedding of Don Corleone's daughter.
Marge Beats Up Mugger.png 14 300 "The Strong Arms of the Ma" Marge beating up someone with a garbage can is a parody of the scene in The Godfather where Sonny beats up his sister's husband on the streets.
Vito Corleone.png 313 "Moe Baby Blues" Moe tells Maggie the plot of the three Godfather films to entertain her. Moe imitates Don Corleone with an cut-up orange in his mouth, in reference to a similar scene in The Godfather. He later imagines the exact scene from the film when he goes searching for Maggie. Moe seems to know the film by heart, but mistakes Diane Keaton's character Kay Adams with her character Annie Hall from Woody Allen's film Annie Hall.

The final scene where Michael, Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney close the door before Lisa references the final scenes of The Godfather.

Also, Fat Tony says "That's why I keep my friends close". When Homer asks him, "and your enemies closer?" he is referring to the phrase from The Godfather Part II ("Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer").
The Godfather Halo TWBB.png 28 602 "There Will Be Buds" Kirk reports watching the movie and saying it's So good to Homer on chat.
'Tis the 30th Season Godfather.png 30 649 "'Tis the 30th Season" Due to the poor accommodations at the Kissimmee St. Nick Theme Park and Resort, the Simpson family ask resort manager Jeanie for their money back.
