Richardo Diaz
Ricardo Diaz is the leader of the biggest drug cartel in Vice City and a minor antagonist.
He is extremely dangerous and volatile individual behind the ambush of the Forelli family's drug deal.
He is also the leader of his own gang, and the initial drug lord of Vice City.
Fearing the Liberty City Mafia is looking to gain a foothold in Vice City's expanding drug trade and also having Vance Crime Family taking over his drug business, Ricardo takes initiative and arranges the killing of multiple buyers and suppliers, which includes Tommy Vercetti and his crew, as well as the supplier Victor Vance.
Over time, Ricardo becomes less tolerant of competition, singling out aspiring dealers for assassination, no matter how small-time.
Tommy and Ricardo meet during the mission where Tommy and Lance Vance save Ricardo from an ambush by the Haitian Gang, while he was meeting with the Cubans to sell them drugs, where Tommy proceeds to run several errands for Ricardo like wiping out a thief stealing money from Diaz, and stealing the fastest boat in Vice City.
However, Tommy is soon informed by Colonel Cortez that Ricardo organized the ambush that ruined his drug deal.
Upon hearing this, Lance Vance attempts to kill Ricardo but is captured and tortured in a junkyard. Tommy then saves Lance but blows his cover as one of Ricardo's helpers.
Fearing that Ricardo is now after them, Tommy and Lance load themselves up with a lot of guns and raid Ricardo's mansion, after all of Ricardo's men are killed, Tommy manages to shoot Ricardo in the stomach during a brief shootout in Ricardo's office.
Both Tommy and Lance then proceed to shoot a wounded Ricardo Diaz in the face, killing him.
Ricardo bribed the INS for a green card in 1978, after entering the country illegally from Colombia.
His contacts there believe he is a major player in the illegal drug industry and anti-government activity.
Ricardo took up residence in Vice City and operated as a drug smuggler before wiping out the competition, emerging as the premier Vice City drug baron in 1984.
He is also a friend of Colonel Cortez.
Ricardo is a popular philanthropist who gives money to foundations across Vice City and Central and South America, but all are believed to be fronts.
He is short in stature and is thought to suffer from a Napoleon complex.
His medical records show he has over-active glands and sweats more than is socially acceptable.
He is a noted gun collector and is almost always armed; and he has a private militia and is heavily guarded at all times.
He has been involved in a long-running battle for control of the drug business in Vice City and has bribed most police officers and officials within the town.
Ricardo's foul tempered and hot headed nature is evidenced in game, damaging or destroying items either by hand or with whatever weapon is available, such as shooting his unplugged VCR when he thought that the device was malfunctioning, shooting pigeons when he found bird feces on his car, or knocking over and repeatedly stamping on a television set after watching a horse on which he has bet lose a race.
Ricardo lived in a huge mansion in the affluent neighborhood of Starfish Island.
Dubbed as the Diaz Estate, the interior of the home closely resembles that of fictional drug lord Tony Montana from the 1983 film Scarface.
His clothing is also an exact copy of what Tony Montana wore in Scarface's famous chainsaw torture scene.
However, the estate was seized by Tommy Vercetti after his death.
Ricardo Diaz's first name is also similar to that of Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, a major Miami Vice character.
Ricardo also appears to have once had a brother.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Lance Vance apologies to Ricardo for his brother (Victor Vance) going 'alpha male' on him.
Ricardo says he understands, his brother did the same, so he killed him.
