The Spanish Lords are a Puerto Rican gang featured in GTA IV, The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony, and play a minor role in Chinatown Wars. The most notable member of the gang is Manny Escuela, who turns out to be a community leader and cut his connections with the criminal underworld.
History
Events of GTA IV
The first Spanish Lords member to encounter during the storyline in 2008 is Lyle Rivas, body builder tied to illegal street racing. Lyle is Most Wanted criminal and went into hiding, but his ex-friend Brucie Kibbutz wants him dead. During the mission Search and Delete he asks Niko Bellic to use the police computer to locate Lyle and eliminate him. Niko successfully completes the task and kills Lyle during the car chase.
Later Brucie asks Niko to expropriate Lyle's car, which was left in alley in Steinway. When Niko arrives on place and get into the car, other members of Spanish Lords show up and attack him. No matter how fast Niko is, Spanish Lords always manage to catch up with him in their cars and try to shoot him. After Niko delivers the car to Brucie's lock-up the chase stops.
Niko's next encounter with Spanish Lords occurs on Manny Escuela's orders. Being obsessed with desire to clean up the streets from the presence of drug dealers, Manny asks Niko to hit on bunch of gang's members, who hang out near the garage on Windmill Street. Niko kills the thugs, while two of them attempt to escape on their Primo.
Three members of Spanish Lords, however, talk bad things about Escuela, doubting his masculinity due to his appearance on the TV. Manny asks Niko once again to help him with the problems. Niko follows members of the gang, who took the train in Algonquin, and ambushes them on the station in Broker. Members of the gang, going to their Emperor and dreaming about purchasing a Patriot, are all killed by him for a reward from Manny.
In the mission The Snow Storm some Spanish Lords, who were hooked up with Elizabeta Torres by Little Jacob, try to rip her off big time by selling her cocaine to Angels of Death in the Old Hospital and putting a heat on her. Elizabeta asks Niko to handle the situation. Niko goes to the Old Hospital and break the deal, killing a lot of Spanish Lords and Angels of Death in process. When Niko takes the cocaine, NOOSE arrives on the scene by the tip, ambushing Spanish Lords. Every member of the gang is killed by either NOOSE or Niko during the shootout.
Niko Bellic also kills another members of the Spanish Lords, the Trunchez Brothers, on orders of Dwayne Forge, who's strip-club came over their control. After arriving to the club, he locates every brother by listening to conversations and kills them in bloody shootout. This, however, leads to conflict with Playboy X, who considered brothers as his partners.
Events of The Ballad of Gay Tony
In The Ballad of Gay Tony, they engage Luis, Armando and Henrique in drug wars, ironically though Spanish Lords and Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers can sometimes be seen together (in The Ballad Of Gay Tony). There is no hostility towards either gang.
Events of Chinatown Wars
In 2009 Spanish Lords have a conflict over the turf with Wu "Kenny" Lee, who uses his nephew Huang Lee to get rid of them. He also can raid their warehouse to steal a Burrito containing drugs at any time. They serve as the antagonist gang during the beginning of the game.
Description
The gang takes influence from eastcoast hispanic gangs such as the Latin Kings. They are one of the largest street gangs operating in GTA IV, having influence across virtually all boroughs (including Alderney) except Broker; having turf in South Bohan, Fortside, Cerveza Heights, East Holland and Alderney City; they maintain a strong street presence within these territories. In the Alderney City turf, since they share their turf with the Korean Mob, they don't attack each other and may even drive around in cars with Koreans in the passenger seat and both will attack the player if the car is damaged. Spanish Lords wear black and gold, and; in addition to their gang colors, their clothing also usually features the Puerto Rican flag. Some are seen wearing t-shirts with the word "Boricua" printed on them, which is a tribal term from the Taino Indians of Puerto Rico. Most often, the Spanish Lords are seen driving in Cavalcades and Primos painted metallic red with gold rims and trim.
There are four sets of Spanish Lords members — a short, fat, bald man with a black top and gold chains (looking somewhat like Manny Escuela); a taller, heavyset dark-haired man, usually with a mustache, in a puffy coat, with red, white, and blue and Puerto Rican colors; and a younger, slim man with a yellow or white t-shirt, a yellow, red or blue cap, and a baseball jacket. The last set all have shaved heads and wear camo pants or jeans/shorts. They represent by flying the Puerto Rican flag or wearing Puerto Rican colors. Some members of the Spanish Lords don't wear gold, but the Spanish Lords usually can be seen wearing it as their primary color. Sometimes, if you hit a car belonging to one while he's in it, the gang member will come out with either a Knife or Baseball Bat. At night they usually walk around with SMGs and Pistols in case of fights.
Their favorite radio stations are San Juan Sounds, The Beat 102.7 and Alchemist.
