Gangs of Vice City:Tommy's enemines/allies

[Mendoza]

Name:Vercetti gang

Background:The Vercetti Gang is a very powerful underworld outfit based in Vice City. It is led by Tommy Vercetti, a renegade Forelli family member who has assumed control of numerous businesses and property ventures in Vice City, circa 1986. The organization is known to be involved in various illegal enterprises, including extortion, drug dealing, counterfeiting, protection racketeering and prostitution.

Name:Forelli Family

Background:The main antagonists in the battle with Tommy even though during most of the game there is no conflict until the mission "cap the collector"where it is told that Sonny sent enforcers to take money from Tommy in Sonny's name which sparks the conflict late in the game but still making this gang the main antagonists.

Name:Cubans

Background:The gang that Tommy allies with against that Haitians and ultimately gains the trust of the leaders,The Cubans are at war with the Haitins and are fighting most of the game to gain control of Haitian territory where Tommy buys many businesses

Name:Vice City Triads

Background:The Vice City-based Triad is a gang that appears and are mentioned only briefly in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. They are only known to be involved in counterfeiting business, supplying printing plates of money to an unspecified Florida-based counterfeiting syndicate They are prominently involved in one mission where Tommy Vercetti is assigned to break into a container ship and extract information from the boss of the gang on the location of a printing plate shipment. The gang is also known to run a shipping company at Viceport, Vice City's harbor, where this gang is operating from a ship.

Name:Diaz's gang

Background:The only gang that stopped Tommy from ruling most of Vice City's underworld and commanding his gang,this gang had parts in many Illegal activities that occur in Vice City,the leader Diaz is one of the reasons why Tommy is in the mess he is for the drug deal until he was slain by Tommy during the mission "Rub out"There are not known to be anymore Diaz gang members left in Vice City or anywhere else

Name:Haitian Gang

background:The Cuban Gang's main rivals for control of the poorer neighborhoods of Little Haiti and Little Havana is the Haitian Gang, led by Auntie Poulet. Auntie Poulet gives Tommy Vercetti mind-altering drugs to make him use less-than-honest tactics in their war against the Cuban Gang. Vercetti, angered by this and spurred by his friendship with the Cuban Gang, decides to help the Cuban Gang and its leader Umberto Robina destroy the Haitan's large drug manufacturing plant (killing many more members in the process), thereby severing all ties with Poulet and her gang.

Name:Biker Gang

Background:"The biggest family of misfits, outcasts and badasses," as quoted by their leader, Big Mitch Baker. A group of stereotypical bikers, they wear leather, give off a gruff, tough persona, have long beards and hair, wear biker attire and ride chopper style motorcycles. Circa 1986, they are the only gang, along with the Cuban Gang, with which Tommy Vercetti opens relations without forcibly taking it over.

Name:Vance Crime Family

Background:Consisting of two members in the start of the year 1984 but two years later lose their leader victor vance the brother of Lance Vance who helps Tommy throughout most of the game getting to the top then fails to kill Tommy when Sonny Forelli and many other Forellies in a slaughter at the Vercetti Mansion which after the game GTA:VC this family no longer exists

Name:Wannabes

Background:The Streetwannabes is a gang of thugs that hang out around outside the North Point Mall and in several dilapadated mansions in Prawn Island as of GTA: VC, but are hardly a threat to any of the other gangs in Vice City. The only highlight of their gang's history was being part of an aerial massacre that resulted in many of them getting killed. It is also suggested that they are involved in arms running. They apparently are on bad terms with Mitch Baker's Biker Gang and in one mission they even steal his prized motorcycle and keep it captive in a motor garage in Downtown. The leader of the gang (name unknown) betrays Ricardo Diaz and steals his shipment of drugs and orders the killing of him (and many other members in the aforementioned aerial slaughter).

The Streetwannabes are known as the Sharks in Vice City Stories and are located in the East Island of Vice City; they manage a number of rackets, which Victor eventually takes over. An interesting note is that, after Victor takes over one of their businesses, the Sharks do not back down in their attacks until all of their businesses have been taken. Often, they chase Victor in their Gang Ranchers, or sometimes attempt to destroy his empire sites.

They are listed as the "Streetwannabe's," with use of the apostrophe, in the Vice City stats, but the Shark logos on the back of their denim jackets, along with graffiti on buildings and their gang cars, has led some to call them the Sharks. The Streetwannabes are mostly seen wearing denim jackets, jeans and red bandanas. In GTA:VCS the Sharks are seen wearing brightly coloured shirts, light brown or grey pants and berets.

Dragons

Background:Though not officially called the Dragons they are in one mission consisting of getting slaughtered along side their allies the Sharks and have very little if any use in the game like their allies the Shark

Sharks

Background:as small and weak as the Dragons and allies with them aswell,if you attack one in front other other they will attack but these gangs are minor and are in the category if not also referred too as the StreetWannbes and are weaker then any other gang in the game

[TheGunslinger]

Nice guide there, dude. But you missed out the street wannabes/sharks.

btw, how is this topic useless? I cant see anything wrong with it

[Rashon.]

ty GTA Don there was a post like this in GTA:VCS that i read it was cool

Indeed. It was kind of pointless to report this.

The guide doesn't really get into the little details about the gangs (I might be talking too much about how my guides were) but you made a great overview. Good guide.

Guys please Stop making posts which are less subjective in nature.Or in more common words stop Spamming.

I dont want to point out members but a Chat-Sense of atmosphere is prevailing greatly these days in many topics.Please stick to Point and stay On-Topic.

Thanks

[Vercetti Thug]

Ah dude you forgot two gangs:

The Dragons

The Sharks

They are those punk kids in the mall and Prawn Island, they either have a shark on their back or a dragon

[Mendoza]

those the wannabes so they aren't a real gang

[Vercetti Thug]

They're as much of a gang as the haitains or cubans. Just because they dont have a mission doesnt mean they're useless. Actually, they do have a mission, The Chase and Phnom Penh 90 had that gang, explain that.

haha

[Mendoza]

they basically do nothing there is no official name for them and no threat to anyone
