Vance'''<ref>From the mission ''[[Caught as an Act]]'':<br />'''Lance Vance''': "You're a freaking cop! You think you can mess with Lance T.

;Childhood and early years | |||
Lance T. Vance was born in [[1956]] to a Caucasian mother ([[Janet Vance]]) and an unnamed father who immigrated from the Dominican Republic. He and his two brothers, [[Victor Vance|Victor]] and [[Pete Vance|Pete]], grew up in poverty in an unspecified location. Because their mother had a drug addiction, they were raised by their [[Aunt Enid]] who, especially Lance, sees as their sole maternal figure. Lance was often teased about his name in school, which he is still very sensitive about (when he works with [[Ricardo Diaz]], an extremely powerful, important drug lord, he lies and says his name is [[Quentin]]). According to Vic, he was also kicked out of the Boy Scouts in his youth, although this is possibly a joke or sarcastic response to Lance saying "Yeah, well, at least I'm not the one that got kicked out of the army". Vic always undermined Lance's capabilities because Lance would get them both in trouble, patterns that continued well into their adult lives. | |||

Lance also becomes addicted to his own cocaine, as does Vic's girlfriend [[Louise Cassidy-Williams]] who both hide their habit from Vic. Lance often blamed the missing drugs on their addict mother (which did happen to be true) or a biker gang. When Vic discovers Lance and Louise getting high, he accuses them of an affair, which they respond that they only get high as friends and Lance becomes angry with Vic after Louise storms out of the house. | Lance also becomes addicted to his own cocaine, as does Vic's girlfriend [[Louise Cassidy-Williams]] who both hide their habit from Vic.

When Louise is kidnapped and killed by the Mendez brothers (who they briefly attempted to make peace with before a second war), Lance shows little feelings for her and tries to console Vic by saying family is more important (namely himself). He only becomes involved with the Mendez war after his car gets blown up. At the end of the game, Lance arrives at the Mendez penthouse to back up Vic, but he arrives after the shootout is already over. Vic, however, is too ecstatic after his victory, and after briefly reminding Lance not to sell any more drugs, leaves Vice City with him by helicopter. | When Louise is kidnapped and killed by the Mendez brothers (who they briefly attempted to make peace with before a second war), Lance shows little feelings for her and tries to console Vic by saying family is more important (namely himself).

Two years later the Vance brothers finally decide to get back into the game when they come in contact with the [[Don]] of the [[Forelli Family|Forelli Crime Family]], [[Sonny Forelli]] in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. Against his better judgement, Vic ends up joining Lance in the deal. Lance flies with Victor to the cocaine deal with recently released mobster [[Tommy Vercetti]], and Forelli members [[Harry]] and [[Lee]]. Just as the deal is concluded, Victor, Harry and Lee are gunned down by [[Diaz' Hitmen|three hitmen]] ambushing the deal. Lance, still in the helicopter, flies away unscathed, while Tommy had managed to dive into the window of his [[Ken Rosenberg|lawyer's]] car and escape unharmed as well. | |||
Lance meets | Lance meets Tommy a couple days later, when Tommy kills a cook/hitman named [[Leo Teal]] who knew something about the deal, by beating him to death for his phone. They agree to help each other get revenge, though Tommy is slow to accept Lance, who tells him to drop the "lonely tough guy crap". | ||
Lance on the surface appears cool and collected, but is very impulsive. His quest for vengeance against [[Ricardo Diaz]], the boss who betrayed them even after their friendship in 1984, results in his capture and torture by Diaz's men, and he is only saved in the nick of time by Tommy. Lance redeems himself by supplying them with M4 Carbines, and attacks Diaz's mansion to finish him off and take over his gang. Lance personally shoots Diaz in the head with a pistol, shouting "This is for my brother!" | Lance on the surface appears cool and collected, but is very impulsive.
