Prior to [[Tommy Vercetti|Tommy Vercetti's]] takeover of Vice City, the gang was the dominant drug cartel in Vice City, with Ricardo's aggressive interest in staying on top of the drug smuggling business a defining factor. He is seen requesting the theft of the fastest speed boat in the city for smuggling activities, and killing those who attempt to cut into his profits, even though it only comprises a small proportion. In addition, Diaz' gang is believed to have botched Tommy's initial drug deal with the Vance brothers (consisting of [[Lance Vance]] and [[Victor Vance]]) forcing Tommy to leave behind (and lose) both the money and narcotics as he fled the scene. | Prior to [[Tommy Vercetti|Tommy Vercetti's]] takeover of Vice City, the gang was the dominant drug cartel in Vice City, with Ricardo's aggressive interest in staying on top of the drug smuggling business a defining factor.

Tommy Vercetti was given the opportunity to work for Ricardo, while Lance Vance infiltrated the gang under a different name. As Tommy continued to work for Ricardo and planned for a takeover of Ricardo's empire, Lance attempted the overthrow prematurely, failing to kill Ricardo and resulting in his capture and torture by the gang, before Tommy rushed to the rescue. This event forced the two to raid the Diaz Mansion and kill Ricardo before Ricardo kills the pair himself, killing many of Diaz' men on the way. | Tommy Vercetti was given the opportunity to work for Ricardo, while Lance Vance infiltrated the gang under a different name.
