In 1984 Boston, Rafael "Rafa" Castillo was being raised in poverty and he was looking for a way out. It wasn't until his father was beaten by the Irish Mob of the city when he decided to make a move. He met with El Toro of the Ortega Crew and began running small "jobs" that eventually led to bigger "jobs". Rafa began making a name for himself within the crew and was ultimately thrust into a leadership position with the murder of El Toro. Rafa would build an empire from his activities throughout the city, eventually owning the streets of Boston with the fall of the Irish Mob. But the reign would not last forever as the authorities would eventually catch up to him.
