AGENCY PROFILE: Rafael Diaz

Name: Rafael Diaz
Alias: "Chuco"
Los Muertos Position: Vehicle Specialist
Description: Diaz is a thin Hispanic man in his early 30s, with a mustache and neatly trimmed goatee. His dark hair is parted down the middle, with a slightly receding hairline. Perhaps as over-compensation for his receding hairline, he does like his bling—especially flashy outfits and expensive jewelry.
Likes: Fast cars and fast women.
Dislikes: School zones, pedestrians.

Rafael "Chuco" Diaz is a renowned and accomplished car thief, joy-rider, and getaway driver. His extensive skills and knowledge are literally a driving force for his gang's criminal endeavors. When Los Muertos want to hit hard and get away clean, you can bet they'll be driving one of Diaz's custom models. Sports cars, vans, low riders, and even heavy duty truck cabs are all included in his fleet of tricked-out and souped-up vehicles.

VROOM VROOM

Diaz supervises the creation of high-performance vehicles at every stage. Cruising La Mugre's streets, he and his lieutenants take note of the best cars and mark them for future theft. Once in the gang's possession, these illicit roadsters are transformed by Diaz and his crew from fine cars into precision machines tuned for maximum performance and power.

His base of operations is a stadium-sized arena on La Mugre's north island, where he and his Easy Riders race on a regular basis. The building also acts as a garage and shop for repairing and modifying stolen vehicles.

PLAN OF ATTACK

The front entrance is on the west side of the building, and is well-guarded, so that route will prove difficult. If you're going to use the front entrance, kick off the party with heavy fire and explosives, or bring a large vehicle to batter your way through their defenses.

ALTERNATE ROUTES

Also of note is a damaged area towards the building's north end. A portion of the wall has collapsed and left a hole in the roof, leaving that end open to intrusion. If your driving skills are up to it, you might even be able to jump a vehicle from the nearby road right into the center of Diaz's sanctum. The nearby radio station is a gathering place for Los Muertos thugs, and may offer an opportunity to commandeer a gang vehicle to make the attempt. Sure, you might get yourself killed this way, but it would be a hell of an entrance.

The east side of the building is slightly more vulnerable, and Agency intel suggests that the southernmost ventilation pipe may provide alternative access to the building's garage.

Once inside the arena there will be plenty of gang members in cars and on foot to keep you busy. Run them down like the roadkill they are! When you have a moment to deal with Diaz, terminate him with extreme prejudice. I suggest that you park your car—on his neck. When you have a chance to relax, you should take a moment to enjoy the variety of ramps inside the complex. “Borrow” one of Diaz’s hotrods and try some aerial stunts off them to boost your Driving skill. Just be careful to check for blood on the driver’s seat before you get in—your Agency uniform is dry-clean only.
