History

Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo was born in Sinaloa, Mexico. Not much is known about his family, but it is reported he adored his parents. However, it also appears his parents are deceased. Ernesto Fonseca joined the Maldeira Cartel at a young age. He was involved in many missions and eventually got himself the rank of agent. In one fairly dangerous mission, Ernesto was injured, having a gunshot wound in his stomach. He was taken care of swiftly and recovered after a few days. He was promoted to a capo shortly after due to his bravery and loyalty. With this, he came into contact with Don Melchor Barrios. He and Barrios became good friends. They eventually met Joaquin Guzman and Ismael Zambada, who would be known as El Chapo and El Mayo.

Giovanni Maldeira, the Boss, started acting for his own personal interests. Due to this, the Sinaloa Cartel was created. It was founded by Joaquin Guzman (El Chapo), Ismael Zambada (El Mayo), Melchor Barrios (Don Barrios) and Ernesto Fonseca himself, also known as Don Neto. The Sinaloa Cartel immediately became a large group. After more groups starting splitting away from the Maldeira Cartel, such as the Eladio Cartel and Potosino Cartel, the Sinaloa Cartel became the largest criminal organization in the Americas. They soon allied with the new gang, Los Mexicles. Another gang, Cartel de los Soles, became powerful in Colombia. Ernesto Fonseca established good relations with this gang, eventually requesting to formally request an alliance. This request was granted, and he sent it to Cartel de los Soles. A few days later, the alliance was accepted.

In the Eladio Cartel there was dangerous instability. The Salamanca Family was growing stronger incredibly fast. Eventually, the Salamancas tried to kill all Capos and Dons that didn't belong to the Salamancas in the Eladio Cartel. As Octavio Guzman and Tulio Guzman both are members of the Eladio Cartel, Joaquin Guzman wanted to jump to their aid. Don Barrios approached Don Neto, proposing to do the same as the Salamancas, overthrowing their current leadership. Don Neto agreed. However, El Mayo was not to be affected. Melchor Barrios accepted this and the next week apprehended numerous dons and capos, as well as the boss, Joaquin Guzman. In that meantime, Joaquin Guzman had phoned Octavio Guzman, informing him Sinaloa reinforcements would arrive at Eladio's Hacienda. However, now, Joaquin was arrested. Don Neto wanted to retreat the forces immediately, however, Don Barrios disagreed. He stated that they should let the soldiers arrive and start shooting at the unexpecting Eladio Cartel members.

The Salamancas sided with Don Barrios and Don Neto, in a temporary alliance. Eladio was eventually killed in a long gunfight between primarily Salamancas and Eladio's men. The Sinaloa Cartel withdrew. Don Neto was put in power as Don Barrios did not want to be the face of the cartel. However, practically, Barrios was the boss. He received the most amount of money and was the most important. However, Don Neto was the main figure of the Sinaloa Cartel.

Eventually, Don Neto was brought to Don Barrios & his right hand man. There, they shot the still apprehended Joaquin Guzman in his legs. Don Barrios then pulled a pistol out of his pocket and shot Joaquin Guzman in his head.

Personality

Don Neto has a good sense of humor. He also likes luxury. Unlike Melchor Barrios or Ismael Zambada, he does not mind being the main figure of the cartel. However, he does like their advice to lay low until the time is right to strike or advance.

Appearance

Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo is a Caucasian male with a mustache and slick hair. He wears a green suit with black gloves. Additionally, he carries a Luger P08.
