Luis Fernando Lopez

Luis Fernando Lopez is one of the protagonists of the GTA franchise, serving as a major antagonist in Grand Theft Auto IV, a supporting antagonist in The Lost and Damned, the main protagonist of The Ballad of Gay Tony, and a mentioned character in Grand Theft Auto Online. 
He is the bodyguard of eponymous character, Gay Tony. Since then, he worked with him for a lot of favours. He is a Dominican street gangster who works as a personal bodyguard for Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince, a nightclub entrepreneur, giving him contacts with others who act as bodyguards at his clubs. Luis Lopez appears at three separate occasions. He is first seen at the bank that the McReary Irish Mob are pulling off, beside Eugene Reaper.
He is then seen again at the Libertonian busting a deal between Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, and the Jewish Mob. He also appears in The Lost and Damned storyline when Johnny and The Lost steal some diamonds off mobster Tony 'Gay Tony' Prince, which have just been shipped into the city. Later, he is seen again with Tony Prince at the diamond/hostage exchange with the McReary Mob. He is 25 years old, making him the youngest out of the three protagonists. During the anticipation of the first episodic pack The Lost and Damned, it was hinted that Luis would be part of the second episode due to hints including numerous, yet minor appearances in the game and as well as the "Impossible Trinity" achievement that is achieved after completing the mission "Museum Piece". It was finally confirmed on May 26, 2009 that Luis is the protagonist of the second episode of the game: The Ballad of Gay Tony.
== Story ==
Born in the latino neighborhood of Northwood in Algonquin, Luis Lopez was the middle child of his family, and as such, the least respected. His father, a US Marine, ran out on the family when he was young, forcing his mother to raise her three children alone. This stressful home life, combined with the influence of his best friends, Armando Torres and Henrique Bardas, made Luis something of a troublemaker, culminating in an incident where he shot a teacher who had felt up his sister.
Sentenced to 2 years in juvenile hall, followed by a series of prison sentences when he came of age, Luis became hardened, working out more and getting involved in illegal cage fighting rings. He became heavily involved with the Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers alongside Armando and Henrique, and found himself constantly harassed by the police. All this changed, however, when he accepted a bodyguard job for famed nightclub owner and socialite Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince, who helped turn his life around.
Cutting ties with his gang and involving himself more and more in the glamorous nightlife of Liberty City, Luis eventually became Tony's right hand man, managing the clubs and organizing the business side of things while Tony handled publicity. However, after being caught up in a robbery perpetrated by Niko Bellic and Patrick McReary, Luis's life is turned upside down, as Tony's mafia creditors decide all at once to collect on their debts.
== Personality ==
Luis is a relatively reserved character, as he rarely demonstrates his emotions or feelings. Despite this, Luis does care for his mother and friends as he was visually struggling to restrain his anger toward Mr. Santo because of his threatening behaviour towards his mother. Luis is very sarcastic and unafraid to stand up to people if he deems it necessary. His reserved, level-headed personality makes him a perfect foil to the flamboyant, impulsive Tony.
He sincerely wants to leave his life of crime and legitimately manage Tony's clubs, but his loyalty to Tony and his friends hold him back. Many of the morally reprehensible (and outlandish) things he does over the storyline are done either in the interest of pulling Tony out of debt or of helping Armando and Henrique set up their business.
