## Bio

Eduardo Portillo was born in the Yucatan province of Mexico , from his father who was a cab driver and his mother who worked at a ranch in Timzin. While growing up , little Eduardo had to endure a lot of beatings from his father who happened to be an alcoholic addict , which got inherited by Eduardo at a later age. His mother later on used to teach him how to grow tobaco and he started going fishing with his friends from the neighbourhood. The Portillo family lived in a cartel controlled neighbourhood which forced Eduardo's father to walk around strapped with a pistol on him all the time when leaving the house , as the streets were under constant gangland violence. Eduardo had a rough childhood as he lived at the very edge between civilian life and crime.

Despite the fact that he was still attending school at the time and hanging out peacefully with his classmates and other friends he made there , he was still blackmailed and forced by the cartel to start pushing cocaine when he turned 10 years old and by the age of 12 he was already walking around with a gun strapped to his belt. Overtime , as he started watching television more and more as a high-scool teenager , Eduardo and some of his neighbourhood friends started adopting a cholo lifestyle and each one of them started modifying their bikes and kept selling cocaine , which was supplied by the local cartel. Occasionally , they would become hired "sicarios" (or assasins) and perform contract hits for the cartel. In the meantime , Eduardo also started developing a passion for machetes and guns. The cartel work he started pulling made him colder and more ruthless and lonely , as he never had a girlfriend throughout his lifetime.

Once he turned 18 , not only that he got his driver's license , but his contract killing started expanding all the way up to the north side of Mexico , close to the border area with the US and he even started dreaming about migrating there to start a new life , tho he was still blackmailed by the cartel and needed a way to force himself out of it , given the fact he became a fugitive throughout the years. One day , after Eduardo turned 21 he was given a contract hit by the cartel in Tijuana and went ahead to fullfill the job. Once he done , he realized he was extremely close to the Mexican-US border and there was even a dock port in the city. He still had his Ak locked and loaded ,as well as strapped to his back and went to the docks , used it to aim it at the first fisherman and his boat Eduardo saw and held him hostage. He ordered the fisherman to get him all the way up to the dockyards of Los Santos where he got a change of clothes and started his life new , but as an illegal immigrant with no papers.

At first , Eduardo tried to run his own taco shop (which later earned him the nickname "Taco") by operating out of state-rented stalls , using his favorite machete and it slowly started expanding into a taco truck later on , making this one of the biggest legitimate careers he pursued. This also got him in contact with owners of an established taco shop and then even rose all the way up to the owner and leader of the establishment itself. He also found work on the criminal side of Los Santos again and joined the ranks of a criminal organization commonly known as Vagos (or "East Side Vagos"), which at the time happened to be run and ruled by Jose Ph. He started out by selling cocaine on the streets which came from Jose's supply and then moved over to hits on rival gangs and robberies or gun-running. This not only made him earn his colors in the gang and become a full-time member , but also a notable one , espacially after the incidents of 2015 which saw the unification process of the gang. Other members were Francisco Garcia and Johnny Savage.

With gang now back on its feet, things down the street started to look up to Montecito Heights and the underworld, at least in the South Side area became more and more peacefull again, with gangs now battling the cops instead of each other. However, due to the city laws becoming more and more stricter and authorities launching more crackdowns on street gangsters for no reasons. Gang started going into hiding, with Jose booking a plane out to Florida, while other members, such as Francisco Garcia and Eduardo "Taco” Portillo, went back to Mexico so that they stay clear from the current lootings that happened in the city and the short-lived civil war that ensued afterwards, which ended in a rebellion victory and new governors being put in place.

Due to the recent rebellions , mexican border authorities started to grow concerned of the conflict expanding south the border , so a military curfew has been put in place on both sides of the border. This mean that the mexican prime-minister publicly announced the suspension of the NAFTA agreements between Mexico and USA until the turmoil in Montecito Heights stopped. In the meantime, Francisco and Eduardo ( some of the very few Vagos gang members who survived) stayed safely in Mexico, in Tampico-Veracruz and respectively Lacandon, where Eduardo started secretly using his cartel-like skills he had to join the fight on the side of the Los Zapatistas (EZLN).

After the 2019 border treaties between USA and Mexico and 2020 Covid pandemic crisis , Eduardo finally managed to obtain an immigrant visa and joined by Francisco, Felipe and Johnny , he went back to the streets of Los Santos to bring Vagos back on the map.
