Armando, and his constant companion [[Henrique Bardas]], are two of [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis']] oldest friends. The trio are said to have grown up together, gone to school together, and got in a lot of trouble together. While Luis has left [[Northwood]] for the success he found working with [[Anthony Prince|Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince]], Armando and Henrique have remained in the barrio where they are still often found hustling on the streets of Northwood. With Luis not around as often, the trio has become a duo in which Armando fills the role of brains to Henrique's muscle. | Armando, and his constant companion [[Henrique Bardas]], are two of [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis']] oldest friends. The trio are said to have grown up together, gone to school together, and got in a lot of trouble together. While Luis has left [[Northwood]] for the success he found working with [[Anthony Prince|Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince]], Armando and Henrique have remained in the barrio where they are still often found hustling on the streets of Northwood. With Luis not around as often, the trio has become a duo in which Armando fills the role of brains to Henrique's muscle. Armando can be seen to be slightly resentful of Luis' decision to work in nightclub business, feeling as if Luis has abandoned his origins and is trying to be somebody he's not. He is still very loyal to his old friend, however, providing him with access to a weapon van as well as backup on certain missions. With the help of Luis, 'Rique and Armando start a drug empire which they build up by [[Drug Wars |ambushing drug convoys, stealing stashes and raiding deals]]. | ||
==Tricks== | |||
It is possible to steal the "black on black" [[Cavalcade]] seen in the Drug Wars by simply calling Armando for some weapons, going to his location and killing or knocking him down rather than pressing L1/LB to buy any weapons. Taking the Cavalcade to Luis' safehouse and saving the game will ensure your possession of the vehicle. | |||

* | *Armando is one of a few characters without an entry in the [[LCPD Database|LCPD database]], despite having committed criminal acts ''and'' has been in jail. | ||
*Armando | *While in prison, Armando had a cellmate, who has three kids. Luis, and apparently several others, have accused Armando of having homosexual relationships with this man. | ||
*Armando is a smoker, revealed during the mission [[Clocking Off]]. It's probably a reference to the habits of [[Little Jacob]], who likes to smoke marijuana the whole time, and [[Terry Thorpe]], who is a heavy cigarette smoker.
