Ricardo's foul temper and hot headed personality is demonstrated in the game with his constant destruction of items, either by hand or by whatever weapon is available. For example, he shot his VCR because he believed it was broken- even though it was just unplugged; shooting birds that crapped on his car; and knocking down and stamping on a television set after he watched a horse that he bet on lose a race. | Ricardo's foul temper and hot headed personality is demonstrated in the game with his constant destruction of items, either by hand or by whatever weapon is available.

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.

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 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 | [[Image:Ricardo Diaz VCS.jpg|thumb|Ricardo in GTA Vice City Stories]] | ||
