Mani or El Mariachi is a character appearing as a soapboxer in Grand Theft Auto V.
History[]
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
Mani is a Mexican man who appears in the Mexican market, on the corner of Elgin Avenue and Hawick Avenue, by a gazebo in a courtyard filled with food shacks and bordered by two Mexican restaurants.
When approached, he speaks to the player and surrounding passers-by entirely in Spanish, though all of his words are translated into English via subtitles. He talks primarily about his frustration with being ignored by those around him and the threats he receives in Los Santos for being Mexican. He's also desperate to get a job as an actor to the point of offering blowjobs.
As with most Soapboxers, he will react differently to each of the main protagonists.
- Michael will compliment him for "fighting the power", whereas Mani will tell Michael, in a very rude manner, to keep patronizing others.
- He'll also react quite rudely towards Franklin.
- Mani will be terrified of Trevor to the point of bowing on the floor to him.
