Luis Fernando Lopez is the protagonist in The Ballad of Gay Tony. He is a Dominican-American street gangster associated with the Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers and also works as a bodyguard for club owner and Ancelotti associate Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince. He is also involved in underground fight clubs.

As seen in trailers of The Ballad of Gay Tony, Luis' apparel is changeable through the use of pre-set outfits, and will change with different occasions in the game, e.g. when he is managing Maisonette 9 .

Description

Luis Fernando Lopez grew up with his friends in the Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers. When he was 17, he was sent to juvenille prison for shooting his teacher who felt up his sister. He worked with the Dominicans for quite some time, but always had dreams of 'making it big'. At one point, Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince came looking for a bouncer at his nightclubs and found him in Luis. Luis gladly accepted his jobs and cut his ties with the Dominicans, except for Henrique Bardas and Armando Torres. However, some guys who owed Tony money came to collect their debt and Luis and Tony got into trouble. Quickly, Luis had to work for Ancelotti members Rocco Pelosi and Vincenzo, fitness enthousiast Mori Kibbutz, crazy real estate developer Yusuf Amir and Russian crime boss Ray Bulgarin.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Luis appears during Grand Theft Auto IV on three occasions. The first time, he visits the Bank of Liberty branch in Algonquin during the bank robbery pulled off by the McReary brothers and Niko Bellic in the mission Three Leaf Clover. Luis escaped unharmed when the robbers fled the scene as the LCPD and NOOSE arrived.

The second time, he ambushes the diamond deal that Niko and Johnny Klebitz were making with the Jewish Mob on behalf of the Pegorinos in the mission Museum Piece. After the ambush Luis climbs into the museum, knocks Issac Roth out with the but of his AK-47, and takes he diamonds before escaping via Yusuf Amir's golden Buzzard that was parked on the roof.

Luis' third appearance was alongside Gay Tony at the diamonds/Gracie Ancelotti exchange, in the mission Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend. The exchange was interrupted by Bulgarin , who believed Tony and Luis stole the diamonds from him, and sent his men to kill all parties at the meet.

The Lost And Damned

Luis appears in The Lost and Damned twice; once during the museum mission, and once in the mission Diamonds in the Rough when Johnny is stealing the diamonds from Gay Tony. He told Gay Tony's boyfriend Evan to flee with the diamonds in a limo, while Luis dealt with the bikers (apart from Johnny, who was in hot pursuit of the diamonds). During this time Luis uses sticky bombs to kill the other Lost bikers in pursuit of Luis and Gay Tony.

When Johnny plants the wire-tap into Bryce Dawkins Infernus (which later becomes Niko's) he is able to call a certain number to listen to the wiretap. Bernie Crane mentions Gay Tony, and then mentions Luis, saying "If he played for our team I would totally be the catcher."
