/ thecriminalhistorian Regime building, Drug dealing and corruption at the highest levels. Tonight we will take a look at a brief window of time in the life of one of our most mysterious subjects on GTA Biographies to date. We will follow the actions of a government man embroiled in Latin american affairs who used any means necessary to fund his operations and the unlikely relationship he formed with one of the state’s most notorious criminals which gave us this glimpse into his otherwise undocumented career. We will see government sponsored narcotics trafficking, inter-agency rivalries and domestic terrorism…allegedly, as we examine the known life and crimes of the G-man spook; Mike Toreno.

For a double agent, Toreno was indeed a man of his word. He was a very peculiar character in all the good ways possible.

I kinda wish he would’ve appeared in another game, just to show that he’s got his fingers in a lot of cookie jars. Like imagine if the Sindacos or Mendez brothers were in the way of one his illegal operations and he had to help Vic or Tony ruin them in some way for ‘the greater good’.

@@ntrainr160I think the drug cartels in each game in the 3D universe might be the same organization just under a different name. Also it was noted that the CIA must have seized Vic and Lance's Cocaine field in Panama sometime after their deaths in Vice City. You can hear Toreno mention the connect from Panama to Tbone in the introduction movie to San Andreas.

My headcanon is it was either done by chopping up recordings of phone calls CJ makes like it's an early G Mod video or Mike does a terrible impression but Caesar is a bit racist and takes a "they all sound alike" attitude and assumes it's actually CJ.

@justsomeguy747 Год назад
Toreno is a great character, true to his word, but also very ruthless. I think you're right about Toreno's age, and its safe to assume Mendez and Jizzy were at the same age as well, judging by their appearance and the Rifa looking like a gang of older gangsters. Its definitely possible they've worked together for several years, and Mike was the brains of the operation, as a means to get funding for his agency and his operations, Judging by Ryder's association with the trio, I think its highly likely Smoke himself spoke with Toreno, given the fact that Toreno was the Loco Syndicate leader.

While it's impossible to say if he specifically was involved again, his group was (according to Ray) invested to some degree in the SPANK business run by the Colombian Cartel, and it's his interference in the trade that forced Ray to flee the state to the semi-mythical city of Miami.

Honestly anyone can live in that Hanger ( Only things it need is a satellite receiver , a kitchen, & a laundry room you're set ). Anyway what branch of government Toreno is working for he sure don't his hands dirty. With him knowing everyone & everything he more of an powerful ally ( Even though he stood behind everyone ). Is doubtful that he's still working for the government or he retired it still don't know about his past. In fact if his name is really Mike Toreno. I think that the government gave him different names everytime he's assign on a mission.

Toreno! TORENO! One of the many characters I looked forward to! I was hoping to gets some questions answered. Some were like his "death" and how he knew all about his knowledge with Tenpenny. There was some stuff that I noticed like when Toreno sends supplies to his guys but the supplies look like what The Truth wanted off of that army train! One thing that baffled me was When did Carl learn of Mike's last name? Probably somewhere offscreen but I wish we got more out of it. Another was when Carl says "I told you my bad man!" When exactly did Carl say that? The last Carl and Toreno moments was when Carl shot Toreno out of the sky. I wish things like that could of been dove into more but I understand you situation and hoped to your fast recovery!

I find it funny that most people think that Mike Toreno was his real name. CJ met the man while he was under cover. I seriously doubt he used his real name while under cover in a drug cartel. He simply doesn't correct CJ when he keeps calling him that name because it was probably an added bit of security if CJ couldn't even give the real name of his contact if captured.
