Ricardo Espinosa

Ricardo Dominic Espinosa is the leader of the Espinosa Gang. His nickname is the "Espinosa Boss" or just the "Boss", which his men particularly refer to him as. As the oldest of his brothers, Ricardo takes on the role of the more serious and stern one out of all of them. He is responsible for making sure business runs smoothly and taking the initiative when planning out new missions for the gang to earn more money or deal with enemies.

History

Ricardo's upbringing wasn't the easiest but also not the most difficult, he was raised by his parents in Texas, in the United States of America. He was taught to always take care of his brothers but to also focus on himself and do his best in school so that he would be able to support himself later in life. Ricardo's family was considered to be lower middle class, which although made him unable to participate in many school activities while growing up, still provided Ricardo the opportunity to graduate high school with the chance of a full-term scholarship to a local college in his town. When he was 18 years old, he received a conscription letter. However, he did not go into the military. The United States was at war at the time with Germania and the Empire of Japan but had no resources left to force people into the army. He was about 19 years old when he graduated from school. At this time, Germany and the Empire of Japan conquered the United States. About a year later he went to college. Although he was selected from a group of students who received the full-paid scholarship to go to the local college, Ricardo still got a part-time job at a grocery store so that he could help provide for his family as he finished his college years. Ricardo decided to major in both business and finance as he thought it would be smart to learn how to run a business whilst being able to invest in useful companies that would surely benefit him in the future. Whilst in college Ricardo was purely focused on school so he didn't have many friends or much of a dating life either, he eventually quit his job at the grocery store as well after having saved up a good amount of money to start his business after graduating from college. Ricardo was 24 years old when he got his bachelor's degree. He had many achievements which included him as one of the top students for best test scores in the state and had many businesses already offering to let him work without going through an interview. He found college easier to complete than high school as the hours were shorter and the classes seemed more flexible, giving Ricardo more free time to spend deciding what he wanted his business to be. Not too long later, Ricardo's parents were murdered in a shootout at the same grocery store Ricardo used to work for by two gangs who were fighting there. It was unknown who exactly caused the shootout, or what they were fighting about, but it didn't matter as it enraged Ricardo and the rest of his siblings. Rodrigue, Fabio and Miguel were underage and taken in by Ricardo and Nicolas. The Espinosas found out what the fight was about, being a kidnapping. They received this information by finding one of the gunmen and torturing him for 3 days straight. After receiving this information Ricardo himself killed the man they were torturing and had Miguel and Fabio both send the man's head to the gang's location. This caused the gang to worry as they did not know who was after them or why, which led to them constantly being on alert and paranoid. Ricardo constructed a plan that included him and his brothers going there at night and killing all the remaining members. They each have their separate roles and locations to take so that the gang wouldn't be able to get away easily. Ironically there were only 4 total members and the Espinosas were able to easily kill them and disband their gang. Before ending the last member Ricardo demanded the other gang's location and name which he was successful in getting. The Espinosas raided the group's location and found bags full of cash and drugs, they decided to take it with them and make use of it instead of leaving it behind for the police to deal with later. Ricardo was not satisfied yet as the second gang was still out there and he was determined to kill everyone who was involved with the murder of his and his brothers' parents. The rest of the Espinosas agreed that it wouldn't be enough until both groups were disbanded and all of them were killed. Soon they found the second group's hideout and after finishing them off they raided the place and took cash and drugs from there as well. Finally, after weeks of scheming and searching for both groups, the Espinosas had what they wanted, to avenge their parents and make both gangs pay for the amount of damage that they had caused. This earned the Espinosas much respect and helped them form the Espinosa Gang. Everyone agreed that Ricardo Espinosa would be the leader as he was the oldest and had always been the one in charge while growing up so not much would change, he also had a bachelor's degree in both business and finance so he'd know best how to run the gang. He then turned the gang into a drug trafficking organization after being inspired by the captured money and drugs found at the hideouts of the two gangs.
