AuronPlay role-plays as "Gustabo García" on the SpainRP server. He is an ex-criminal turned FIB agent, who does dirty work for his superiors.

It all started when Gustabo was a criminal robbing banks and organizing hits on his enemies. He belonged to one of the most notorious mafias in the city, called The Union, and worked under the alias of "Wilson."

He started consorting with the FIB as a snitch and supplied them with information about the mafia in exchange for money and protection.

It is rumored that Gustabo was cursed from birth. It was further purported that the Curse transformed him into the ruthless killer clown Pogo.

Gustabo was killed in the city of Marbella after asking mobster Toni Gambino to assassinate him and end his suffering.

Toni Gambino was a secondary character of AuronPlay who had to be retired after the Marbella RP server shut down.
