Ricardo lives in a mansion in the affluent neighborhood of Starfish Island. Dubbed Diaz Mansion, the interior of the home closely resembles that of fictional drug lord Tony Montana from the 1983 film ''Scarface''. His clothing is also an exact copy of what Tony Montana wore in Scarface's famous chainsaw torture scene. Ricardo Diaz's first name is also similar to that of Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, a major ''Miami Vice'' character. | Ricardo lives in a mansion in the affluent neighborhood of Starfish Island.

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the paranoid drug boss is killed by Tommy Vercetti and the vengeful [[Lance Vance]] for the ambush which resulted in the death of [[Victor Vance|Vic Vance]], reappears in ''Vice City Stories''. Ricardo Diaz hears much about Vic Vance from his regular customer and associate, [[Reni Wassulmaier]]. His missions mostly involve dealing with his and Vic's rivals, the [[Diego and Armando Mendez|Mendez brothers]], and strengthening his empire. Diaz starts out as an aspiring drug baron, and thanks to the actions of Victor, achieves his dream and becomes one of the most powerful and influential men in Vice City; once the Mendezes are gone, he becomes the largest drug lord. Diaz also trades drugs for guns with the DEA and forces Gonzales to join him or die. Throughout most of his missions he is seen using cocaine, whether it's for his own use or to test it for others. Vic tells Diaz that the coke is affecting his brain. This is similar to Tony Montana from ''Scarface'', who also uses his own supply of drugs, which leads to his paranoia; this could be why Ricardo is highly suspicious of all in ''Vice City''. | In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the paranoid drug boss is killed by Tommy Vercetti and the vengeful [[Lance Vance]] for the ambush which resulted in the death of [[Victor Vance|Vic Vance]], reappears in ''Vice City Stories''.
