'''Miguel''' is a character in the [[3D Universe]] who appears as a supporting role in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] (set in [[2001]]) and as a minor character in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] (set in [[1998]]).

==Character history==
=== GTA III ===
Miguel was born in Colombia and moved to [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] sometime before 1998, joining the [[Colombian Cartel]], and eventually becoming a prominent drug dealer for the gang. He frequently sold drugs from [[Portland Harbor]] to the [[Leone Family]] and [[Contra-Banned|met]] [[Toni Cipriani]] in a deal in [[1998]] that was later ambushed by the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|Liberty City Police Department]]. Toni Cipriani seemingly kills Miguel, who manages to survive. He continued to climb the ranks of the Cartel and, following the [[Decoy Disaster|death]] of [[Cisco]] and an unnamed leader, became one of the gang's most prominent members.
In the opening scene depicting Catalina's betrayal of Claude, Miguel may have been the individual driving the Banshee getaway car. Miguel is officially first introduced during mission [[Cutting The Grass]] where [[Salvatore Leone]] sends [[Claude]] to follow [[Curly Bob]] from work and see if he's ratting out on the [[Leone Family]]. Curly Bob is apparently ratting out information to the heads of the Colombian Cartel, which are Miguel and Catalina.      


During the mission [[Grand Theft Aero]], in which [[Donald Love]] requests Claude to retrieve a package from [[Francis International Airport]], the package is found stolen by the Colombian Cartel and is being handed over to Catalina and Miguel. Claude eventually tracks them down, resulting in Miguel handing over the package and Catalina shooting Miguel, leaving him at the mercy of [[Asuka Kasen]], then enraged by the killing of her brother, [[Kenji Kasen]]. Miguel is then tortured into revealing information about Catalina's operations, and is soon seen motionless and stabbed in the torso by a pole, killed by Catalina while she killed Asuka and kidnapped [[Maria Latore|Maria]].

In [[2001]] he met [[Catalina]] and [[Claude]] as they arrived in the city and helped them [[Introduction (GTA III)|rob a bank]] and escapes the police with Catalina, after she shot Claude and left him for dead. Catalina and Miguel begin to increase the gang's influence in the city by stepping up the production of the drug [[SPANK]] from a freighter in Portland Harbor and also begin to work against the [[Leone Family]], exchanging Leone secrets for SPANK with [[Luigi's Sex Club 7|barman]] [[Curly Bob]]. Their operations, however, are stopped by [[Claude]] who, on orders from [[Boss|Don]] [[Salvatore Leone]], [[Cutting the Grass|kills]] Curly Bob and then [[Bomb Da Base Act II|destroys]] the freighter containing the SPANK factory.
In [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], he makes a brief cameo during one [[Contra-Banned|mission]], in which [[Toni Cipriani]] picks up a shipment of illegal drugs from some Colombian Cartel members. During the exchange, the police show up and Toni, saying Miguel set him up, escapes the ensuing chaos with the seized contraband, while Miguel is seemingly killed (by either Toni or others in the scene). Miguel obviously survived since he appears in Grand Theft Auto III.

Miguel is a character in the 3D Universe who appears as a supporting role in Grand Theft Auto III (set in 2001) and as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (set in 1998). He is a prominent member of the Colombian Cartel and is involved in the gang's narcotics trade. In GTA III he is voiced by Al Espinosa, who has also appeared in such programs as Law & Order, but the voice actor for his appearance in GTA Liberty City Stories is uncredited.

Character history

Miguel was born in Colombia and moved to Liberty City sometime before 1998, joining the Colombian Cartel, and eventually becoming a prominent drug dealer for the gang. He frequently sold drugs from Portland Harbor to the Leone Family and met Toni Cipriani in a deal in 1998 that was later ambushed by the Liberty City Police Department. Toni Cipriani seemingly kills Miguel, who manages to survive. He continued to climb the ranks of the Cartel and, following the death of Cisco and an unnamed leader, became one of the gang's most prominent members.

Miguel and Catalina during the mission Cutting the Grass.

In 2001 he met Catalina and Claude as they arrived in the city and helped them rob a bank and escapes the police with Catalina, after she shot Claude and left him for dead. Catalina and Miguel begin to increase the gang's influence in the city by stepping up the production of the drug SPANK from a freighter in Portland Harbor and also begin to work against the Leone Family, exchanging Leone secrets for SPANK with barman Curly Bob. Their operations, however, are stopped by Claude who, on orders from Don Salvatore Leone, kills Curly Bob and then destroys the freighter containing the SPANK factory.

Claude, after moving to Staunton Island, begins to work for Donald Love, first rescuing the Old Oriental Gentleman from the Cartel. Love later sends Claude to collect a package from an incoming plane at Francis International Airport and later has him return to collect the real package, having previously sent Claude to collect decoy packages. The package, however, has already been collected by Miguel and Catalina. Claude goes to a construction site in Fort Staunton and confronts Miguel and Catalina. Miguel hands the package to Claude but is shot by Catalina, who jumps down into a skip to escape.

Asuka Kasen, enraged following the death of her brother Kenji at the hands of a "Cartel assassin" (really Claude disguised as a Cartel member), begins to torture Miguel for information on the Cartels operations. After extracting information from Miguel, Asuka then sent Claude to stop the Cartel operations, which includes killing three Cartel hit squads, destroy the Kappa Coffee House stands (which were a front to sell SPANK) and destroying a plane and collecting the SPANK packages inside. After collecting the SPANK packages, Claude returns to the construction site and finds Miguel dead, impaled on a construction pole, with a note addressed to Claude attached to his body.
