Diaz's gang

Overview

Diaz's Gang is the cartel-style organization of drug lord Ricardo Diaz, the dominant force in Vice City's cocaine trade at the start of GTA Vice City.

History

The gang is responsible for the ambush that opens the game, in which Victor Vance and two Forelli soldiers are killed. For much of the story Tommy Vercetti works for Diaz without knowing this. Once the truth comes out, Tommy and Lance Vance storm Diaz's mansion in Rub Out and kill him, and the gang ceases to exist. Some members, such as Mike, join the new Vercetti Gang.

Territory

The gang is based at Diaz's heavily guarded mansion on Starfish Island, which becomes the Vercetti Estate after his death.

Leadership and members

• Ricardo Diaz: the boss.
• Mike: one of his gangsters.

Role in the story

Diaz's missions (The Chase, Phnom Penh '86, The Fastest Boat, Supply and Demand) form the middle of the first act. The gang's destruction in Rub Out is the turning point of the story.

Relations with other gangs

The gang is in conflict with the Streetwannabes, whose leader steals from Diaz, and becomes the enemy of Tommy and Lance in Death Row and Rub Out.
