'''Darkel''' was scheduled to be a character in the [[3D Universe]] who was to appear in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] before being removed during the development of the game. He was voice by [[Bill Fiore]] and, despite it being removed from the game, he is still credited in the game's credits. | |||
Darkel was | ==Character history== | ||
Darkel was to be a revolutionary urchin who would vow to bring down the [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|city's]] economy. One known mission for Darkel involved stealing an [[Mr. Whoopee|ice cream van]], using it to attract pedestrians and then blowing it up (this mission was given to [[El Burro (GTA III)|El Burro]] as [[I Scream, You Scream]]).<ref>[http://uk.ps2.ign.com/articles/091/091649p1.html ''IGN Article'' - February 21, 2001]</ref> Darkel was originally expected to give out [[Rampages|Rampage-esque]] missions and terrorist-like missions.<ref>[http://www.gouranga.com/nf-march01.htm ''Gouranga.com'' - March 19, 2001]</ref> Internal files suggest this to be accurate.<ref>[http://www.3dhole.com/gtafiles/ghost_bear/GTA%203%20Source%20code%20classes.htm#CDarkel GTA 3 Source code classes, class CDarkel], 3dhole.com</ref> According to [[Rockstar Games|Rockstar]], Darkel was removed because his missions weren't "as good as the rest of the game", and because he didn't "work alongside the other characters".<ref>[http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/19861/grand-theft-auto-iii-your-questions-answered-part-one-claude-dar.html <nowiki>[Top Story]</nowiki> Grand Theft Auto III: Your Questions Answered – Part One (Claude, Darkel & Other Characters)], Rockstargames.com</ref> They also claim he was removed months before 9/11, disproving the rumour that he was cut because of the 9/11 attacks. Another Darkel mission was rumoured to have involved killing [[Donald Love]] by flying a [[Dodo|plane]] into the [[Love Media]] building. Rockstar has, however, confirmed that rumour to be false as well, claiming the Dodo was never meant to be able to fly in the first place.<ref>[http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/19981/grand-theft-auto-iii-your-questions-answered-part-two-911-the-gh.html <nowiki>[Top Story]</nowiki> Grand Theft Auto III: Your Questions Answered – Part Two (9/11, The “Ghost Town”, The Dodo and Other Mysteries)], Rockstargames.com</ref> | |||
Despite being taken out, Darkel remains listed in the GTA III manual credits and the character texture remains in the game's data files. A group of [[tramps]] with [[Molotov Cocktail|molotovs]] can be found in the tunnel that connects [[8-Ball]]'s [[8-Ball Autos|bomb shop]] in [[Harwood]] to the rear of the [[Supa Save!]] in [[Portland View]], supposedly remnants of Darkel's "gang" - a [[Liberty Tree]] [[Strange Tramps Seen All Over Liberty City|article]] also alludes to a rise in tramp-related assaults. Darkel was supposedly meant to live underneath the [[Callahan Bridge]], where he would give the player missions. | |||
