The player takes on the role of Tommy Vercetti, a member of the Liberty City mafia who has just been released from prison in 1986 after serving 15 years for killing eleven men.^[4] Tommy’s old boss, Sonny Forelli, fears that Tommy’s presence in Liberty City will heighten tensions and bring unwanted attention to his organization’s criminal activities.^[5] To prevent this, Sonny ostensibly “promotes” Tommy and sends him to Vice City under the guardianship of mafia lawyer Ken Rosenburg to act as their buyer for a series of cocaine deals.^[6] During Tommy’s first meeting with the drug dealers, an ambush by an unknown party results in the death of Tommy’s bodyguards, Harry and Lee, and the cocaine dealer, Vic Vance (the main character ofGTA:VCS). Tommy narrowly escapes with his life, but he loses both Forelli’s money and the cocaine.^[7]
