[[Mr Lopez|His father]] was a U.S. Marine who abandoned them while they were young. He was raised by [[Adriana Yanira Lopez|his mother]], who also had a notable role in the upbringing of Luis' childhood. His mother had always been cautious though worried for Luis' near future throughout the story claiming that he is ruining his life and should not end up like his father. Following this, Luis had also been brought up with his current best friends; [[Armando Torres]] and [[Henrique Bardas]]. He also grew up with [[Oscar Gomez]] and [[Alonso Gomez]], [[Teddy Benavidez]] and [[Willy Valerio]], older kids by three years, who ushered most of the neighborhood kids into drug dealing. During a drug war, [[Henrique Bardas|Henrique]] mentions that Luis used to rap while Henrique "layed down" the beat. Henrique claims that Luis was a poor rapper because people used to laugh at him when he would rap. He was also scrawnier in those years, as Armando and Henrique recall. | ||
When Luis was 16 or 17, in 1999 or 2000, he went to juvenile hall for two years because he shot and injured a teacher who felt up his [[Leta Lopez-Wilkinson|sister]]. Armando & Henrique remember spending the summer of 1999 with Luis, meaning it happened during their next school year. Curiously, this does not appear on his criminal record. Not long after his release in 2001, he had been arrested again for Grand Theft Auto at the age of 18. This likely coincides with him taking the blame for a crime committed by Armando and Henrique (neither of whom were caught) and going to prison. During this stint, also two years, he went from being very skinny to being quite muscular. He got his physique by body-building to help against fighting off inmates to keep himself from getting raped or killed. His [[Ernesto Lopez|brother]] and [[Leta Lopez-Wilkinson|sister]], however, both left Liberty City and started stable lives, with a spouse, children and homes in different small-town suburbs, with little to no interaction with their mother. As a result, she relies on Luis to give her money. | When Luis was 16 or 17, in 1999 or 2000, he went to juvenile hall for two years because he shot and injured a teacher who felt up his [[Leta Lopez-Wilkinson|sister]].

*In the GTA IV mission [[Three Leaf Clover]], Niko can kill Luis when he is amongst the hostages in the bank, although this has no effect on the storyline. | |||
*If Niko responds negatively to the e-mail "Brucie Owns Reality. Bro!", Niko writes: "There are more important things in life than being a celebrity or having good abs. You've been spending too much time fluffing the bouncer at the [[Maisonette 9]]", which could be referring to Luis, but also Dessie as well; however, Brucie does try coming onto Luis at one point. | *If Niko responds negatively to the e-mail "Brucie Owns Reality.

*Luis is an official licensed helicopter pilot, explaining how he is able to operate choppers; he took a [[Higgins Helitours]] weekend crash course, and has a certificate of completion hanging on the wall next to his bedroom in his [[Northwood Apartment]]. Based on comments made by Luis during the missions [[Sexy Time]] and [[Ladies' Night]], and Armando during a [[Drug Wars|Drug War]], Tony is the one who paid for it. | *Luis is an official licensed helicopter pilot, explaining how he is able to operate choppers; he took a [[Higgins Helitours]] weekend crash course, and has a certificate of completion hanging on the wall next to his bedroom in his [[Northwood Apartment|aparment]].

*Luis and Niko Bellic have crossed paths four times. Once during the bank robbery, but Luis didn't see Niko's face as he was was wearing a balaclava, and Niko never acknowledged Luis at the time. Secondly, on the streets of Algonquin where Niko almost hits Luis with his car while driving with Packie and Derrick McReary. The third time was in the museum where Luis interrupts the diamond deal with Isaac Roth, which is the first time Niko takes note of him; as far as Luis is concerned, this the first time he has actually seen Niko. Finally, they exchange words during the diamond exchange where Niko and Packie return Gracie to Tony and Luis. It is unclear if Luis recognized Niko or not from the museum, as he doesn't say anything regarding this. Niko, however does remember Luis crashing the diamond deal, as he calls Roman to inform him how "this Dominican-looking guy" appeared both times. | *Luis and [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] have crossed paths four times.

*Like Johnny, all of Niko's fighting moves and animations, aside from the basic walking and running ones, are carried over to Luis. This is strange considering that Niko's fighting moves were meant to reflect his military training, whereas Luis or Johnny technically would not be able to pull them off. It is likely that game mechanics are the main cause for this. Johnny and Luis also throw left hooks, while Niko performs left jabs. | *Like Johnny, all of Niko's fighting moves and animations, aside from the basic walking and running ones, are carried over to Luis.

*After a [[Booty Call]] Luis might say a comment like , "Yo bro, don't turn into your papi L". Or "Man, that girl got issues."
