{{ ::howard_pacone.png?200|}}====== Howard Pacone ======

**Howard Pacone**, born 08-25-1969 in [[http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Vice_City_(HD_Universe)|Vice City]], in later movies known as Benito Guerro or [[The Shady Avenger]], is the central figure of this universe. 

===== Life and career =====

Howard was born in [[http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Vice_City_(HD_Universe)|Vice City]] as son of Laura and Pietro Pacone. His father was part of the local mob there, and got killed in a shoot-out in 1982. After that, his mother decided to move to [[http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Liberty_City_(HD_Universe)|Liberty City]]. She worked hard in a [[http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Burger_Shot|Burger Shot]] restaurant. When Howard grew up, he soon ran into trouble, which finally led to him leaving [[http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Liberty_City_(HD_Universe)|Liberty City]] and went to [[http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Los_Santos_(HD_Universe)|Los Santos]].\\ 
There he started out as a villain, a small-scale gangster, in [[City of Broken Dreams]] (see there), but after his revenge on [[The Joker (Howard Pacone Universe)]], he decided to change his ways of living and become a hero.
Now he's doing business with the [[Avenger Corporation]], while at night he goes out and fights crime as [[The Shady Avenger]].

His partner in love, business and crime-fighting is [[Lucia Guerro]].

His main enemy changes, from [[The Joker (Howard Pacone Universe)]] to [[The Masked Marauder]] to [[The Phantom Reaper]] throughout the movies, but what he doesn't know (and never will know, as far as the universe is planned up to now), is, that all of them are [[Jack Napier]] (see there).
