Biography

Early Life

Umberto was born in Cuba to Alberto Robina. At some point in his life, Umberto moved to the United States and became affiliated with the Los Cabrones, a Cuban street gang controlling the Little Havana area of Vice City.

Events of Vice City Stories

Umberto, as the leader of the Los Cabrones (also known as "the Cubans"), tasks Victor Vance with sabotaging the businesses of The Cholos, a Mexican street gang who are in a violent turf war with the Cubans, in order to weaken their presence within the city. Umberto is intially doubtful of Victor's ability, but later comes to admire him when Victor proves his usefulness, such as protecting Umberto's elderly father, Alberto, from a Cholo attack and destroying a Cholo weapons warehouse. Umberto laters repays Victor's efforts by helping Victor and his brother Lance defend their businesses when they are attacked by the Mendez Brothers.

Events of Vice City

In 1986, Umberto is still the leader of the Cubans and has been involved in a turf war with the Haitian street gang. He first encounters Tommy Vercetti when he phones Tommy, believing him to be Leo Teal (Tommy had previously killed Teal and taken his cell phone). Believing Tommy has "big cojones" for killing Teal, he invites Tommy to his father's café. Umberto orders Tommy to ambush a Haitian drug deal, infiltrate and later destroy a Haitian Drugs Factory. Tommy completes this tasks successfully, and following the destruction of the drugs factory, Umberto phones Tommy to commend him on proving himself to Umberto and his father, telling Tommy: "Tommy, to us, you're Cuban".

-===1984===
-In [[1984]], as the leader of Cubans (Also known as Los Cabrones), he sends [[Victor Vance]] on missions to wipe out his most hated gang, The [[Cholos]], which replaced the controversial Haitians in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] (The Haitians were removed from the game due to public backlash). Like his appearance in Vice City, Umberto is obsessed about how much "cojones" (referring to both the courage and the actual testicle size) his comrades usually have. Victor saves Umberto's father, [[Alberto Robina]], from the Cholos in one of Robina's missions. Umberto, along with [[Phil Cassidy]] and two Cuban men, help [[Lance Vance|Lance]] and Vic defend their businesses from assaults by the Mendez Brothers' henchmen in one of the last missions of the game. It is the only time that Umberto actually does "dirty work".

-===1986===
+===Events of Vice City===
-In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], Umberto Robina is still the leader of the Cubans in Vice City two years later, who has been involved in a long-term Vice City turf war with Haitians. He is an extremely macho man who wants to wage full scale war with the Haitians, however, he has never been personally implicated in a crime and his bravery has been questioned within Cuban circles. He is good friends with [[Tommy Vercetti]] and treats him as an equal. His quote on it: "Tommy, to us, you're Cuban". It is unknown what happens to Umberto in the end, but it is likely that the Cubans are allied with the [[Vercetti Gang]] because of Tommy's work for Umberto.
