DJ Perico (The Parrot), real name Marco Garcia is a sicario from LA.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, the charismatic Marco joined the Latin Kings at the age of thirteen. He served time for selling crack and attempted murder before he was eighteen. He came out as an aspiring music producer, specifically a mixed-tape DJ, but his career did not take off.
Faced with another murder charge and wishing to avoid incarceration, he fled to Mexico. He then joined Santa Blanca as a sicario through the recommendation of a family member, but was noted to be an incompetent gunman. He annoyed everyone except El Sueño, who took a liking to Perico's antics and made him the main DJ of Santa Blanca's pirate radio station. His objectives are to promote the cartel, spread propaganda, mislead enemies, and recruit new members.
He works out of a tent near El Sueño's mausoleum in the Pucara province, boosting his signal from the radio station. Despite his success as SB's radio DJ and position as an underboss, Perico appears to still be dissatisfied with his position. During a coke-fueled rant, his sound engineer forgot to turn off his mic; which accidentally caused him to air out his hatred and frustration he had on all his listeners and even El Sueño himself, on live radio.
Behind the scenes[]
- He is one of the underbosses the Ghosts must encounter in the Influence pillar in the Pucara province.
- The Ghosts interrogate him for the encryption key, allowing the Kataris 26 rebels to hack into the signal and Pac Katari to give a speech, embarrassing the cartel.
- DJ Perico is the only underboss that gets "blackmailed".
- Defeating DJ Perico will reward the player with 5 skill points, the DJ Perico's tattoo for player customization and the Ritmo, a unique variant of the AK-12.
