 Bill Fiore was cast in the role of Darkel, which made it into the pre release  version. But for undisclosed reasons, the producers decided not to include  him in the final version, which has become the subject of hot debate for  fans. The most popular reasons for his absence include: Darkel was going to  be a revolutionary street urchin who vowed to bring down the citys economy.  Rumour has it, is that many of his missions were based on terrorism and even  included an aeroplane explosion. Thus, due to the games releases proximity to  the events of lasts september, he was promptly removed from the final  version. The final and most popular reason, stems from the fact that Darkel  was originally going to give out Rampage esque missions and even had his  voice recoreded for this part. Rockstar games then decided that they would  like to go back to the original system of giving out rampages as featured in  Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto 2.
