The Vercetti Gang is headed by [[Tommy Vercetti]], a renegade [[Forelli Family]] member who has assumed control of many businesses and property ventures during the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], circa [[1986]]. The organization is known to be involved in various illegal enterprises, including extortion, drug dealing and organized crime. Though some might consider the Vercetti Gang a [[Mafia]] family, due to being led by a former mafia member, it cannot be a true mafia family because there are members, such as [[Lance Vance]] and [[Ken Rosenberg]], who are not Italian. However; it does appear that Tommy structured it to resemble a mafia family. | The Vercetti Gang is headed by [[Tommy Vercetti]], a renegade [[Forelli Family]] member who has assumed control of many businesses and property ventures during the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], circa [[1986]].

The gang's name presumably originates from dialog between Tommy Vercetti and [[Delores]] during the purchase of [[Kaufman Cabs]]. When Delores asks which gang Tommy belongs to in an announcement, Tommy responds that he does not belong to any gang (despite running a gang-like criminal organization at this point of the game). To Delores' annoyance, she improvises by simply calling it the "Vercetti Gang". This is the only instance of the name being used in storyline scripts. | The gang's name presumably originates from dialog between Tommy Vercetti and [[Delores]] during the purchase of [[Kaufman Cabs]].

The expansion of the Vercetti's throughout Vice City made Tommy a very rich, powerful, and influential man, infuriating [[Sonny Forelli]] who was demanding his cut of the profit. Tommy's refusal to give in led the Forelli Family to send collectors to Vice City to attempt to cut into the profits of Tommy's businesses by [[Cap the Collector|attempting to take over]] Tommy's businesses, which he bought. The Forellis' efforts were thwarted, and Sonny Forelli eventually confronts Tommy in person, which lead to a [[Keep Your Friends Close|massacre]], resulting in the death of many Forelli members, including a recently defected Lance Vance, and Sonny himself in the [[Vercetti Estate]]. Following Sonny's death, the Vercetti Gang is assumed to have total domination of Vice City. | The expansion of the Vercetti's throughout Vice City made Tommy a very rich, powerful, and influential man, infuriating [[Sonny Forelli]] who was demanding his cut of the profit.

The Vercetti Gang, or at least Tommy Vercetti himself, is presumed to remain in power for an undisclosed time. In [[The Introduction]], the prequel film to [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], Ken Rosenberg, who was also initiated into the Vercetti Gang in 1986, is assumed to have been abandoned by Tommy after Ken is forced into rehabilitation for prolonged cocaine abuse. Following his release from the [[Fort Carson Medical Center]], Vercetti no longer takes his calls and their relationship is dissolved. This led to Ken's subsequent assignment as a middleman for the [[Leone Family]], the Forelli Family and the [[Sindacco Family]] over [[Caligula's Palace]] along [[The Strip]], [[Las Venturas]] and then employment as an accountant to rapper [[Madd Dogg]]. | The Vercetti Gang, or at least Tommy Vercetti himself, is presumed to remain in power for an undisclosed time.
