||
− | |||
− | == Description == |
||
− | === Roles === |
||
− | In GTA Vice City Stories, Diego and Armando are first mentioned in mission [[Brawn of the Dead]] by [[Jerry Martinez]], telling Vic Vance that the shipment of coke that [[Victor Vance]] and his brother Lance had stolen from them belonged to the Mendez Brothers. |
||
− | |||
− | Later, Diego and Armando have Vic and Lance brought to them, where they tell them Martinez stole the shipment, and [[The Mugshot Longshot|use some pictures of Martinez with the cops and a fake license to prove this to the Mendez's]]. Vic and Lance keep working for the Mendez brothers until they decide to take over all of the Vance's businesses by dumping them in a burning oil storage and leaving them for dead. |
||
− | |||
− | Vic and Lance escape the burning oil storage and seek protection from [[Ricardo Diaz]], who eventually helps them [[Domo Arigato Domestoboto|destroy the Mendez brothers' bonds]] with a [[Domestobot]]. In revenge for the destruction of their bonds, Armando has [[Louise Cassidy-Williams]], Victor's girlfriend kidnapped, in the process of rescuing Louise, Lance is heavily injured, and Louise is killed by Armando Mendez. A vengenceful Vic then confronts a flamethrower wielding Armando and guns him to death. |
||
− | |||
− | Diego, after hearing his brother was killed, seeks refuge in his compound in [[Downtown Vice City|Downtown]]. Then Vic Vance, with the help of Ricardo Diaz and [[Phil Cassidy]], [[Over The Top|steals]] a [[Hunter]] helicopter and uses it to raid the compound. He is eventually shot down, but [[Last Stand|makes it]] to the compound and after slaughtering many of Diego's men, confronts Diego in the compound's roof. There they are joined by Jerry Martinez and a final confrontation starts where Victor manages to kill both Martinez And Diego for good. |
||
− | |||
− | === Behavior === |
||
− | Diego is the more quiet of the two and only speaks Spanish, while the more charismatic Armando is the one with greater control of the organization. [[Reni Wassulmaier]] implies that he/she had relations with Diego. They also own a Domestobot, which was destroyed by Armando when Victor took control of it and destroyed his bonds. |
||
− | |||
− | === Character design === |
||
− | Armando seems to be based on Scarface's Alejandro Sosa, as he bears a striking resemblance to him both in appearance and personality, while Diego resembles [[wp:Giorgio Moroder|Giorgio Moroder]] circa 1984. The brothers' names are a play on Argentinean soccer star, [[wp:Diego Maradona|Diego Armando Maradona]]. |

− | ==Murders commited by the Mendez brothers== |
||
− | *[[Louise Cassidy-Williams]] - Kidnapped and killed to lure Lance and Vic to a trap. (Killed by Armando Mendez) |
||
− | |||
− | ==Trivia== |
||
− | *The two brothers are possibly based on the character's of the 'Diaz Brothers' a pair of fraternal drug dealers who are mentioned in the 1983 film ''Scarface'' and physically featured in it's 2006 video game adaption. |
||
− | *Armando Mendez is primarily based on '''Alejandro Sosa''', the main antagonist of the film ''Scarface''. |
||
− | *In Diego's artwork, he is holding a Beretta M12 sub-machine gun, which is absent from the game. It could have been present in the [[Beta Weapons|beta]]. |
||
− | *Interestingly in the mission "[[Light My Pyre]] " if the player is to use the [[flamethrower]] against Armando he will not take any form of damage, however this may be a simple [[glitch]] . |
||
− | *According to Armando he and his brother are utilitarians, as well as Diego being a fan of Plato's work while Armando is a fan of Aristotle's work. This is true, Utilitarism defends that mankind should always look towards finding pleasure, while both brothers have become drug dealers for personal gain. |
||
− | *There are rumors saying that [[T-Bone Mendez]] from [[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas|Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] is related to the brothers, however the brothers are Bolivian while T-Bone is [[Mexico|Mexican]], so this is unlikely. |
||
− | *In beta mission, [http://gta.wikia.com/Last_Stand Last Stand], Vic [[Beta Releases|originally]] also had to kill Armando Mendez, not just [[Jerry Martinez]] and Diego Mendez. |
