Luis is of Dominican descent, born and raised in [[Northwood]] by his mother [[Adriana Yanira Lopez]], with his brother [[Ernesto Lopez]] and his sister [[Leta Lopez-Wilkinson]]. [[Mr Lopez|His father]] was a US Marine who abandoned them while they were young. He was raised by [[Adriana Yanira Lopez|his mother]], who also had a notable role in the upbringing of Luis' childhood (and current) best friends, [[Armando Torres]] and [[Henrique Bardas]]. He also grew up with [[Oscar Gomez]] and [[Alonso Gomez]], [[Teddy Benavidez]] and [[Willy Valerio]], older kids by three years, ushered most of the neighborhood kids into drug dealing. During a drug war, [[Henrique Bardas|Henrique]] mentions that Luis used to rap while Henrique "layed down" the beat. Henrique claims that Luis was a poor rapper because people used to laugh at him when he would rap. He was also scrawnier in those years, as Armando and Henrique recall. | Luis is of Dominican descent, born and raised in [[Northwood]] by his mother [[Adriana Yanira Lopez]], with his brother [[Ernesto Lopez]] and his sister [[Leta Lopez-Wilkinson]].

When Luis was 17, in 2000, he went to juvenile hall for two years, because he shot a teacher who felt up his [[Leta Lopez-Wilkinson|sister]]. Curiously, this does not appear on his criminal record. Not long after his release in 2001, he had been arrested again for Grand Theft Auto. This likely coincides with him taking the blame for a crime commited by Armando and Henrique (neither of whom were caught) and going to prison. During this stint, also two years, he got his current physique by fighting inmates off to keep himself from getting raped or killed. His [[Ernesto Lopez|brother]] and [[Leta Lopez-Wilkinson|sister]], however, both left Liberty City and started stable lives, with a spouse, children and homes in different small-town suburbs. | When Luis was 17, in 1999/2000, he went to juvenile hall for two years, because he shot a teacher who felt up his [[Leta Lopez-Wilkinson|sister]].

Luis is similar in a sense to fellow GTA protagonists [[Carl Johnson]] and [[Victor Vance|Vic Vance]], in the sense that they are both minorities from poor neighborhoods who wish to live legitimately and are frustrated by repeatedly finding themselves in criminal situations. Specifically, all three are very reluctant to sell drugs. | Luis is similar in a sense to fellow GTA protagonists [[Carl Johnson]] and [[Victor Vance|Vic Vance]], in the sense that they are both minorities from poor neighborhoods who wish to live legitimately and are frustrated by repeatedly finding themselves in criminal situations.
