Events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City[]

Trivia[]
- He is one of the few minor characters in the 3D Universe that use a unique character model instead of a generic pedestrian model.
- The name Pierre La Ponce could be a reference to the French words "Pierre ponce", which means "Pumice stone", though it is likely a reference to Ponce, an outdated British slang term for a posh or effeminate person.
