'''Ricardo Diaz''' ( | '''Ricardo Diaz''' (? - 1986) is the extremely dangerous and volatile individual behind the ambush of [[Tommy Vercetti|Tommy Vercetti's]] drug deal. He is also the head of his own [[Diaz Gang|gang]], and the initial leader of the drug trade in the [[Vice City|city]]. Diaz later recruits Vercetti to run errands for him, but eventually Vercetti discovers Diaz' role and takes him out, seizing his estate in the process. Diaz bribed the INS for a green card in 1978, after entering the country from [[Colombia]]. His contacts there believe he is a major player in the illegal drug industry and anti-government activity. | ||

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], the paranoid drug boss killed in ''Vice City'' by Tommy Vercetti and vengeful [[Lance Vance]] for the ambush which resulted in the death of [[Victor Vance|Vic Vance]], reappears in ''Vice City Stories''. Ricardo Diaz hears much about Vic Vance from his regular customer and associate, [[Reni Wassulmaier]]. His missions mostly involve dealing with his and Vic's rivals, the [[Diego and Armando Mendez|Mendez brothers]], and strengthening his empire. Diaz starts out as an aspiring drug baron, and thanks to the actions of Victor, achieves his dream and becomes one of the most powerful men in Vice City as the largest drug lord with the Mendezes gone. Diaz also trades drugs for guns with the DEA and forces Gonzales to join him or die. Throughout most of his missions he is seen using cocaine, whether it's for his own use or to test it for others. Vic tells Diaz that the coke is affecting his brain. This is similar to Tony Montana from ''Scarface'', who also uses his own supply of drugs, which leads to his paranoia; this could be why Ricardo is highly suspicious of all in ''Vice City''. | In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], the paranoid drug boss killed in ''Vice City'' by Tommy Vercetti and vengeful [[Lance Vance]] for the ambush which resulted in the death of [[Victor Vance|Vic Vance]], reappears in ''Vice City Stories''.
