Tommy went to prison in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] in 1971 for multiple counts of homicide in the district of [[Harwood]], earning him the nickname "The Harwood Butcher." However, Sonny Forelli, a mob boss, called in favors and pulled strings, so Tommy was released 15 years later. That year Sonny sent him to [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]]. There, Vercetti was supposed to be the Forelli's representative in a drug deal and expand their empire "down south"; however, the drug deal was ambushed by hitmen for drug lord [[Ricardo Diaz]]. Tommy worked for several people including [[Juan Cortez|Juan Garcia Cortez]] and Ricardo Diaz himself to find out who was behind the ambush, and to get the drugs back. Tommy and [[Lance Vance]] finally discover that Diaz was actually behind the ambush; and Lance, hungry to avenge his brother's death, attempts to kill Diaz. He fails, however, and is captured by [[Diaz's Gang]] members, taken to the junkyard, and eventually rescued by Tommy. This forces them to raid Diaz's mansion and kill Ricardo. Tommy took over the mansion and started his own gang, the [[Vercetti Gang]]. He bought properties and pulled several jobs: bank heists, carjacking, taxi firms and films. The Vercetti gang was known to rule the Vice City underworld to at least [[1992]], as witnessed in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. | Tommy went to prison in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] in 1971 for multiple counts of homicide in the district of [[Harwood]], earning him the nickname "The Harwood Butcher."
