Gonzalez

Background

Gonzalez is an overweight aide to Colonel Juan Cortez, with diplomatic papers and a reputation for taking bribes. He has secretly been doing business with Ricardo Diaz.

He lives in a penthouse in Vice Point, where he spends more time relaxing than working, protected by gunmen on loan from Diaz.

Events of GTA Vice City

• In Treacherous Swine, Cortez learns that Gonzalez is leaking information and gives Tommy Vercetti a chainsaw to deal with him. Tommy finds him in a Vice Point penthouse guarded by Diaz's men.
• Gonzalez flees on foot toward the Washington Beach police station. Tommy catches and kills him before he gets there.

Personality

Gonzalez is greedy, lazy and cowardly.

His laziness and size make him slow on foot, and he relies on Diaz's men to protect him. When Tommy arrives, he has no plan except to run toward the police station.

Relationships

• Juan Cortez: his former employer.
• Ricardo Diaz: his secret business partner.

Trivia
