Biography
Ernie Garcia was born in Cuba, but he later fled to the United States following the Cuban Revolution. He became the chief of Frank Lopez's security detail, accompanying him whenever he left his home. However, he was not in Frank's good graces, and, when Tony Montana executed Lopez in 1980, he casually asked Garcia if he wanted a job. Garcia gratefully accepted this offer, becoming Montana's security chief. He drove Montana's car, opened doors for him, and did odd jobs. In 1983, during the shootout at Montana's mansion in Miami, Garcia was garrotted by Sosa Cartel hitmen.
