'''El Burro''' is a character in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and is also mentioned in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] by drug baron [[Ricardo Diaz]]. El Burro was, in GTA III, voiced by [[Chris Phillips]].
==Character history==
El Burro has been involved in the porn industry from at least [[1986]] in an unknown capacity, although most likely as actor, being mentioned by [[Ricardo Diaz]] during the mission [[Supply & Demand]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], shooting his VCR for 'eating' his favourite El Burro movie. It is unknown whether he later leads the [[Diablos]] in their attempts to enter [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]], siding with the [[Sicilian Mafia]] and starting a turf war with the [[Leone Family|Leone]], [[Forelli Family|Forelli]] and [[Sindacco Family|Sindacco]] Families in the [[Red Light District]] and [[Hepburn Heights]]. He leads the gang into taking control of Hepburn Heights, although [[Toni Cipriani]] stopped them from taking the Red Light District. At some point he also enters into a gang war with the [[Uptown Yardies]] after their derogatory remarks about [[Queen Lizzy]].


==Biography==
In [[2001]] he employs [[Claude]] to help his pornography business, including the sale of [[Donkey Does Dallas]] by [[Big'n'Veiny|collecting the volumes]]. He supplies magazines to [[XXX Mags]] in the Red Light District, which he may own. He also has Claude [[I Scream, You Scream|kill]] a number of Leone Family mobsters in [[Atlantic Quays]] with an [[Mr. Whoopee|ice cream truck]] and later has him [[Trial By Fire|kill]] a number of [[Portland Triads|Triad]] gangsters using a [[flamethrower]].
El Burro is the head of the [[Diablos]] gang in GTA III, based in the Hepburn Heights area of [[Portland Island]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. El Burro is in a turf war with both the [[Leone Family]] and the [[Liberty City Triads|Triads]], having won the turf after a gang war between the Leone Family, [[Forelli Family]] and [[Sindacco Family]] in [[1998]]. The Diablos later enter into a gang war with the [[Uptown Yardies]] after making derogatory remarks about [[Queen Lizzy]]. El Burro gives missions to [[Claude]] in order to help his pornography business, which includes the selling of the ''[[Donkey Does Dallas]]'' volumes. El Burro supplies magazines to, and may own, the [[XXX Mags]] shop in the [[Red Light District]]. El Burro has been involved in the pornography business since at least [[1986]], as in GTA Vice City, [[Ricardo Diaz]] destroys his VCR for eating his El Burro movie in the mission [[Supply & Demand|Supply & Demand]]. However, the VCR turns out to have been unplugged.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Corner.jpg|right|thumb|200px|El Burro as an artwork on a wall.]]
*Characters of the same name appear in [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], but since the games are of two different storylines and canons, they are not the same characters and only references to previous games.
In the second trailer for [[GTA IV]], "[[Looking for that Special Someone]]", a homage to El Burro can be seen in the form of graffiti on a wall.
*An artwork of El Burro appears in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and was first seen during the games second trailer, [[Looking for that Special Someone]].
*"El Burro" means "The Donkey" or "The Stupid one" in Spanish.


==Trivia==
==Gallery==
*El Burro has a similar appearance to a character of the [[El Burro (GTA 1)|same name]] that appears in [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], but this is not the same character, because the storylines in GTA and GTA III take places in a different fictional timelines in a different fictional universes created by the game developers from a scratch in each case. It's just one of many references in this game to the very first GTA.

*A character called El Burro also appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] as a drug dealer.
