Loco Syndicate

Overview

The Loco Syndicate is a drug cartel operating out of San Fierro, the supplier behind Big Smoke's crack empire. It is less a street gang than a partnership of three men: Mike Toreno, Jizzy B and T-Bone Mendez.

History

Toreno oversees the Syndicate, Jizzy B arranges deals and recruits, and T-Bone Mendez provides muscle through his San Fierro Rifa. Toreno secretly uses the operation to fund covert government work.

Territory

The Syndicate is based in San Fierro, with Jizzy's Pleasure Domes club under the Gant Bridge as a hub and a crack factory in Doherty.

Leadership and members

Mike Toreno leads, with Jizzy B and T-Bone Mendez as partners. Big Smoke and Ryder are its key customers.

Role in the story

CJ and Cesar spy on the Syndicate in Photo Opportunity, and CJ infiltrates it through Jizzy in Jizzy, T-Bone Mendez, Mike Toreno and Outrider. With the Triads' help he takes it apart: killing Jizzy in Ice Cold Killa, killing T-Bone and Ryder at Pier 69, downing Toreno's helicopter in Toreno's Last Flight and blowing up the crack factory in Yay Ka-Boom-Boom. Toreno survives and reappears as CJ's government handler.

Relations with other gangs

It works with the Ballas, the San Fierro Rifa and Big Smoke's faction and is opposed by the San Fierro Triads, the Da Nang Boys and the Grove Street Families.
