Darkel

Darkel was scheduled to be a character in Grand Theft Auto III, but he was removed during its development. Darkel was to be a revolutionary urchin who would vow to bring down the city's economy. One known mission for Darkel involved stealing an ice cream van, using it to attract pedestrians and then blowing it up (this mission was given to El Burro as I Scream, You Scream). Darkel was originally expected to give out Rampage-esque missions. There is no official reason as to why Darkel was removed, although it is suspected that Darkel was removed due to the September 11, 2001 attacks, since Darkel wanted to take the economy of Liberty City (Fictional cameo of New York City) down. Despite this, Darkel remains listed in the GTA III manual credits and the character texture remains in the games data files.

Darkel was scheduled to be voiced by Bill Fiore.

Darkel was to be a revolutionary urchin who would vow to bring down the [[Liberty City|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]] as [[I Scream, You Scream]]).

There is no official reason as to why Darkel was removed, although it is suspected that Darkel was removed due to the [[Wikipedia:September 11, 2001 attacks | September 11, 2001 attacks]]. Rockstar may have removed him to stop any unwanted attention with 9/11, since Darkel wanted to take the economy of [[Liberty City]] (Fictional cameo of New York City) down. It is unknown still, this is just a suggestion. Darkel is rumored to be in the train tunnel on Portland with hobos, holding [[molotov cocktail]]s.
