==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]].

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.
