**The Vicente Cartel** was a cartel which featured in Garcia Gonzales and Clandestino, playing a minor role within every other series in some way. The Vicente Cartel was in the 'active zone' in 4 states; Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana and Oklahoma. It was street level in many other states, and its product would cross the border frequently.

The Vicente Cartel were established in 1910 [according to earliest found data] and were destroyed in 2030 when Ignacio Vicente was killed by Domingo Moreneo during the Season 4 War. They controlled the trafficking of billions of dollars worth of illegal substances, most primarily including cocaine, meth and weed. They did not hold back for anybody, even their own members in most occasions. Garcia Gonzales and Clandestino never truly showed how powerful they were, instead, it only showed the Texas section of it. Whilst those like Imperious and Ignacio *did* run it fully, they never ventured further than Texas. They would brutally kill enemies and law enforcement if needed.

The Vicente's had a strict hierarchal formation, following it harshly. At the very top, The Imperious ran the majority of large decisions and meetings, controlling the lower ranks. Below him was Ignacio Vicente and Ophelia Phillips, controlling groups and primary production methods. Imperious was not always at the top, but was given the role of Lord in 2008, after Revio Moreneo resigned. Those like Mark Schmidt did not play a prominent role at any time for The Cartel, but rather was needed during desperate times, such as Season 2 and Season 4. The parents are the top 3 people within Vicente.

Every Parent of The Vicente Cartel has played their own role and controls a certain district of land in which they are to control. Even though the Parent's control certain districts, they may also control other districts with permission from The Imperious. Every Parent had their own rules and regulations, owning territory which their product was distributed. Distribution was done strictly, recorded perfectly with no mistakes in case of theft.

The Vicente Cartel was considered to be the second most powerful criminal organisation group, below The Divino Mafia. At their prime, in 2030 under Ignacio Vicente/Ophelia Phillips rule, they would make $3,200,000,000 on average, sometimes higher, sometimes lower. The primary enemy to Vicente was Draco, however Servancios also had war with them in 1977.

## History

**Early History**

The Vicente's were supposedly founded in 1910 by an unnamed group who were a criminal group. They would do heists and other criminal activities, slowly recruiting people into the group. However, it was never a big group. Eventually, the original leader was killed in a shootout during World War One. Whilst none of this information was told in any series, it has been created by Eqiuox to fit the holes. The new leader was one of the old men, who took control.

Initially, The Vicente's served as a criminal group which had 3 sectors; Distribution, Heists, Assassination. Public people could pay money for either to happen, and it would. This was until World War 2, where the Vicentes thought it'd be a decent idea to create their own product, so they did. The Vicente's now owned the territory they were in, selling 10 pounds for $500.00, which, in todays date, is $8,380. This worked well at first, however, it then went bad. Nobody was buying, so they lowered price to $200 for 10 pounds [$3,000]. This went rather well. However, after the war, nobody was purchasing as there were little people willing to. A new leader stepped into action.

A new leader in 1950, Ignacio Vicente's father/grandfather [supposedly based on birthdates] took control. His control skyrocketed sales and growth, bringing Vicente up to a larger Cartel. The Vicentes went to war with an unnamed cartel in 1965, and won with ease. They took the assets, however, their leader was killed. Gustavo Motov Revia then took control of The Vicentes in 1970 as the right hand man of the other leader. Under Gustavo's lead, The Cartel worked within Texas and New Mexico, and they continued to grow during Garcia Gonzales.

**Garcia Gonzales**

**Season 1**

The Vicentes were not very present during Season 1. Whilst playing a minor role regarding Ignacio Vasquez, they served not much presence.

**Season 2**

Gustavo and Fatiou Moreneo arrived at the HQ, confused as to why Nicholas Garcia Gonzales was protected. Nicholas and Gustavo fought, Gustavo losing and being locked up in The Servancio Dungeons. Nicholas declared war on The Vicentes, wanting their land and money.

Kurt Khoffman and Tyrone Cole destroy The Vicente walls with TNT, and begin to cause havoc. The two kill over 15 Vicentes and the word is then released about Gustavo's imprisonment. War is now declared. Nicholas kills Gustavo's son, Martinez to prove that Gustavo's bloodline has no guts and needs to be killed off now - he was 'proved wrong' as Nicholas is given word of the war.

Ignacio Vasqeuz is released from prison, and makes his way over to The Vicente Palace to see it in flames, gunshots going off. A battle was ongoing. Kurt kills Guron in an act of war to save Nicholas, returning his bat. Vicentes raided Servancio palace, freeing Gustavo. Ignacio then fled in spite of the situation. Vicentes for the first time in a long time felt defeat, fleeing to an unknown location. Vicente's fled to The Moreneo Palace.

Nicholas' wife, Lucille Garcia Gonzales, was kidnapped and taken to The Moreneo Palace for a 'trade off'. In return of Fatiou Moreneo, who was kidnapped by Servancio, they will give Lucille back. Nicholas brought along Kurt and Fatiou, and they made their way to the address. They began the trade, just when an explosion was heard. Nicholas' car was rigged. Nicholas kills a Vicente higher up, Juliet Moreneo, and takes Fatiou and Lucille back to home.

Vicente's raid The Servancio HQ in revenge of their attacks. They use a tank to destroy the gates, and they take Tyrone Cole hostage. Tyrone has his last words, then Gustavo kills him. Ignacio was then disarmed by Kurt, and Gustavo was slashed by his katana. The Vicente's fled with Tyrone and around 15 other Servancios killed.

**Season 3**

The Servancios raid The Moreneo Palace, Nicholas killing **TOM DIXON**. Gustavo's wife is killed by Nicholas. The raid fails horribly, Servancios losing the majority of their men as Vicentes suffered small causalities. Many Servancio surrendered and joined The Vicentes. Imperious of Cards kills Ignacio Vasquez.

Kurt forms a timetable which forms groups of around 5 Servancio to meet with Kurt and discuss Nicholas' anger and how he needs to be taken down.

Servancios once again raid the palace, losing horribly. Nicholas is blamed even though he warned them.

Imperious of Cards attempts to kill Nicholas, and gets very close, however is stopped by Kurt. Kurt and Nicholas kill IOC in an act of defence. A grenade blows his body up fully. Kurt blames Nicholas, causing Servancio to really fall. Nicholas and Kurt flee to a field to escape.

Nicholas kills Kurt.

Nicholas loses Lucille, who runs away and leaves Nicholas. Nicholas then goes to The Vicente Palace, and sneaks in a tiny pistol. Nicholas then open fires at Gustavo, killing Gustavo. Authorities are alerted to the palace, so Nicholas makes a quick escape.

Revio Moreneo and his family were taken hostage by The Insurgent. Rio and Martinez Moreneo are killed. Diego Garcia Gonzales is adopted.

Imperious reveals his face to Lucia after the tragedy of his adopted son - who died without ever seeing Imperious' face. Sinbola Carbonara take Domingo and Diego hostage - Imperious is shown, Insurgent says he's already enroute.

Diego has to choose between Draco and Vicente - he chooses to side with Insurgent and Draco. Vicente is not offended, and throws a departure party. Whilst Diego was good at Vicente, working for both was too much for the young boy.

Diego attends his birthday party at the Vicente palace, ending Garcia Gonzales Season 4.

### Clandestino

**Season 1**

The Vicente Cartel celebrate Diego's birthday, Tyrus and Imperious' conflict causes most members to leave.

Ignacio Vicente calls Mark Schmidt and tells him to meet at a location. In a flashback scene, we see Mark Schmidt working for Vicente in 2014. Mark worked for a short period, and is The Impermanence in Garcia Gonzales due to him being a temporary addition to Vicente, whilst keeping undercover.

With Tyrus injured, Vicente now have the second highest Draco member out of question. Ophelia Phillips makes her appearance and is told by Ignacio to look for clues. She locates a fingerprint less case with sniper parts and one bullet. Diego crashes his vehicle in the desert. Vicentes caught Domingo zooming past the area of the shooting, and to where they did not know. They chased him, Imperious ordering him to be stopped - they began to open fire. Draco appeared and began to shoot at Vicente in an act of confusion about the deal. Domingo continued looking for Diego. Sirens were heard, they were firefighters but neither cartel knew. They both departed, Ignacio and Domingo being the only two staying. The two looked at eachother, Domingo laughing as he ran off into the desert. A third side also appeared, shooting at Vicente.

Mark Schmidt meets Ignacio Vicente, Ophelia Phillips and The Imperious as he is invited into Vicente. He accepts, not really having any other choice. Mark is shown the palace, and is okay to be back. He is paid, and exits.

**Season 2**

Domingo Moreneo and Diego Garcia Gonzales form a plan to kill Ignacio Vicente and 'save the cartels'. Ignacio Vicente hears this via a wire Ophelia placed onto Domingo not long ago. Imperious, Ophelia, Ignacio and Mark are the only ones to know about this so far.

Domingo and Diego begin their grand plan. However, Mark Schmidt was waiting with a sniper, ready to shoot Diego when required. Ignacio says strange words, Diego confused. Diego realises that Ignacio knew, and tried signalling. Diego was shot fatally in the neck whilst drawing Domingo's revolver, shooting it 5 times before he falls, already dead by the time he fires the 5th shot. The vehicle next to Ignacio blows up. Domingo is in too much shock, he notices a sniper aiming at him. Diego was now dead, Vicentes unknowing of what happened.
