Led by Mexican [[Martin Madrazo]] and his family, the gang muscle is mainly made up of young Hispanic men of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemala Guatemalan] origin<ref>Dialog has members referring to each other using the slang word "Chapine" which is slang for a person from Guatemala. They can also be heard saying "Viva Guatemala". Slang also references the gang as being called the "Guatemaltecos"</ref>. Gang muscle are seen wearing distinctive [[Flying Bravo]] polo shirts of varying colors and designs, usually with numbers on the sleeves. Internal character models are named "Pologoon" reflecting their common wardrobe. Higher up members of the gang do not wear these shirts and sometimes use the same models as the [[Los Santos Vagos (HD Universe)|Vagos]] and the [[Armenian Mob]]. Like the [[Varrios Los Aztecas (HD Universe)|Aztecas]], many of the cartel members re-use the Vagos members dialogue.

Description

Led by Mexican Martin Madrazo and his family, the gang muscle is mainly made up of young Hispanic men of Guatemalan origin[1]. Gang muscle are seen wearing distinctive Flying Bravo polo shirts of varying colors and designs, usually with numbers on the sleeves. Internal character models are named "Pologoon" reflecting their common wardrobe.

The Online Protagonist is hired by Martin Madrazo to perform several jobs. Most of these revolve around legal trouble that Martin and the cartel are facing, including eliminating an attorney, a witness, a judge, an informant and eight jurors. Other jobs involve rescuing two cartel members; his Chief Lieutenant, Juan, who is under attack from Ballas in Burton and his cousin, who is surrounded by law enforcement in Paleto Bay. After reaching El Estupido, cartel members are given a green light to eliminate him on the assumption he has been compromised by law enforcement and the player may be required to fight the cartel hit squads.

Even thought The Cartel is allied with the online player, they can also be one of the gangs who the players target to steal raw materials for their business in the Bikers, Gunrunning and Smuggler's Run resupply missions. They can also appear in the Nightclub promotion missions, added with the Arena War update, where they chase the player once stolen supplies are retaken from the Vagos.

Their first appearance as a gang is during Marriage Counseling, one of Michael De Santa's missions, where they attempt to kill Michael after he pulled down the deck of a property which Martin Madrazo had an interest in. The hitmen chase Michael and Franklin Clinton to Michael's Rockford Hills mansion. The gang's leader, Martin, appears and after Franklin informs Michael of Madrazo's background, referencing the earlier legal troubles of GTA Online, Martin beats Michael down with a baseball bat and tells him that he owes him $2.5 million for the destroyed house. After Michael returns to the criminal life to pay his debt off, Martin contacts Michael asking him for a favor, to kill Martin's cousin Javier Madrazo after he had been planning to testify against the gang. After Michael shoots down the plane that was carrying Javier and Trevor Philips manages to kill Javier as well as collect the evidence, Martin refuses to pay the two for the work. Because of this, Trevor bites off Martin's ear, kidnaps his wife Patricia Madrazo and steals his car. Because of this, Martin orders the gang to attack both Michael and Trevor if they enter La Fuente Blanca or Los Santos city limits in endless waves until they exit the ranch or city. The Madrazo Cartel are again reconciled when Michael sends him an Aztec fertility idol that he stole from a train and Trevor tearfully returns Martin's wife to him at the end of Monkey Business.
