So yeah, it is safe to say that Darkel was kind of a douchebag.

According to this IGN intervew, "Darkel sets you out to steal an ice cream truck" "and to acquire some dynamite" "Your job is to attract as many people to the truck as possible and to set off the bomb to kill as many of them as you can!" According to the PSE2 magazine, it seems this whole event took place in the middle of the park, on a hot summer's day. Now you're probably asking yourselves, "What missions was Darkel involved in?" Thankfully, there is one interview where developers acually brought up one of his missions. Was this group of tramps Darkel's gang? Why were these Tramps are armed with molotov cocktails? Did he use this tunnel as a hideout? Who knows. Moreover, by clicking on "Harbour tunnel" in the official GTA 3 web flash, in Portland, you will see a render of Darkel as well as a strange group of Tramps, which is still presented in the final version of the game.

The same information can be found in the game manuals. Also, if you were to complete the game, then you could spot his name in the end credits, where it is stated that Bill Fiore was going to voice him. I think it's worth noting that we should consider ourselves VERY lucky that Darkel's model is still present in the game files. Lots of games do this to prevent framerates from dropping and to keep performance smooth. Now if you don't know, the game loads LOD when the player stands way too far from the actual model.

By the way, his model also has "LOD", meaning that he was both used in-game and in cutscenes. In fact, this is his old creepy model, still in the game files. I don't really think you'd be surprised if I were to tell you that there is actually a lot of interesting leftovers of him still intact in the game files. According to various sources, Darkel was a "dark, brooding old man who hides, or sort of dwells, in the shadows of the game" "He says weird things, and asks you to do weird things, too." Sadly, this character was completely removed from the story, which surely was upsetting to a lot of hardcore GTA III fans across the globe.
