Post Request -- El Diablo : The Biography
 

There are pieces of the legend scattered around regarding the origin of El Diablo. However, sorting through 14,000 posts to piece it together seems like a task no man can overcome.

Anyone want to volunteer for the post? Maybe the masked man himself can give a bit of a background.

I hear he's hung like a horse, but that's to be expected. They grow everything bigger in Texas. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Re: Post Request -- El Diablo : The Biography
 

El Diablo is seven feet tall. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse.

I'm not surprised you don't like me, as you seem to not like anyone who is smarter and more successful than you.

I think that says it all about El Diablo. Huurah!

Vince,

I don't think that really says anything everyone didn't already know. Although 90% of the forum probably fits this description as well.

Re: Post Request -- El Diablo : The Biography
 

He's supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody ever believed he was real. Nobody ever knew him or saw anybody that ever worked directly for him. But to hear them tell it, anybody could have worked for El Diablo. You never knew; that was his power. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
One story the guys told me, the story I believe, was from his days in Turkey. There was a gang of Hungarians that wanted their own mob. They realized that to be in power, you didn't need guns or money or even numbers. You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn't. After a while, they come into power and then they come after Diablo. He was small-time then, just running dope, they say. They come to his home in the afternoon, looking for his business. They find his wife and kids in the house and decide to wait for Diablo. He comes home to find his wife raped and children screaming. The Hungarians knew Diablo was tough, not to be trifled with, so they let him know they meant business and cut one of the children's throats.
They tell him they want his territory, all his business. Diablo looks over the faces of his family. Then he showed these men of will what will really was. El Diablo shot two Hungarians, then shot his children and his wife as the last Hungarian watched in surprised horror.
He tells him he would rather see his family dead than live another day after this. He lets the last Hungarian go, waits until his wife and kids are in the ground, and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids. He kills their wives. He kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in, the stores they work in. He kills people that owe them money. And like that, he's gone. Underground. Nobody's ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop and El Diablo will get you." But no one ever really believes.

So when does Kaiser Diablo start giving lessons?

Re: Post Request -- El Diablo : The Biography
 

I'm not happy that he killed so many of my people.

However, he did quote Usual Suspects, so he gets an allowance.

I hear he only wears his shiny blue shirts once, but has them dry cleaned first. Truly, not a man to be trifled with.

Gee, if Ray Zee likes him maybe I better too. Hmmm....now Ray you aren't trying to tell us something by using the like a greek god as a code thing, are you? I mean I know that for most of the year you are isolated in some snow bound shack in the North Country. During long periods of isolation some peoples minds might tend to "play tricks" (no pun intended) on them. You know I remeber a time when you liked ugly guys. Oh well times change.

Re: Post Request -- El Diablo : The Biography
 

I've seen him once; he's a mountain of a man. Hands that could make diamonds from coal, yet groomed as he'd never worked a day. The children flock to him, women swoon, he gracious with the people and they adore him.

You will know he is in the same room, even if you never meet him. I promise you this, you will know.

Well, he is a legend in his own mind. That much I can tell you.

Sklansky always used to say, "I don't believe in God...but I'm afraid of him." Well, I believe in God, and the only thing I fear is El Diablo.

Re: Post Request -- El Diablo : The Biography
 

I met a guy who claimed he was Diablo. Underwhelmed.

Re: Post Request -- El Diablo : The Biography
 

I heard from a good source that he's very good at getting everyone else to pay for his drinks.

I've heard that as well.

The best was two years ago when he was down in LA w/ Sucker, Clark, NPA, and others. We got our own table at commerce (W/ Gabe, Sooga, glen, mike l., etc...). I end up buying a few rounds, and el D doesn't.

he PMs me and says "next time, whereever we meet up, it's on me".

That was 2 years ago. I think he'll keep his word. I just don't know when the "next time" will be......

Yeah, you get wasted so quick you don't even remember the last five or so rounds. Who do you think is paying for those? It sure as hell ain't haakee or beetz. Gab, though, we can stick that kid w/ anything.

I won a Chinese-drinking contest with a member of the Hong Kong Bamboo Gang. This was in a bar-dance club in Taipei, which they own, called the Opium Den. I flirted with his women, played the Chinese 'five figure game', and drank shots of some green colored drink out of test tubes placed in racks – the loser having to take a full shot.

El Diablo may be a legend – but Zeno is the real thing.

P.S. 'The rest of the story', I'll save for January - I hope to make it up then.

Lemme explain how it goes down. Sucker is very generous, so he buys a round or two early. He is also a lightweight, so he gets blitzed out of his skull. Thus, he has no recollection of the next dozen rounds and believes they somehow just magically appear.
