Manny mentions during one mission that he aspires to be 'like one of them rich guys who makes computers and cures AIDS and shit', a tongue-in-cheek nod to Bill Gates and his charity work through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.His helmet is black and orange with yellow stripes. Like most characters in the game, Manny will don a unique helmet when riding alongside the protagonist on a motorbike.Manny's inexplicable disappearance is referenced by Troy (the doorman of Hercules) in The Ballad of Gay Tony, as he muses to Luis Lopez during Not So Fast 'They're going to make a show about me! Can you believe it! Well, originally, they were going to make a show about some Puerto Rican guy in Bohan but he disappeared.'.A mural depicting Manny can be seen in Bohan in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, a block away from the South Bohan safehouse.His last name, Escuela, means 'school' in Spanish.Like Manny, he was also the subject of a documentary entitled 'Latin Kings: A Street Gang Story.' Manny even wears black and gold, LK colors. Manny is likely based on the Latin Kings leader, Antonio 'King Tone' Fernandez who, despite his role in one of New York's biggest criminal gangs, masqueraded as a community leader.He is often concerned with 'looking gay' on live TV, and once even hired Niko to kill some of his former associates simply for calling him a homosexual. Manny also cares a lot about his appearance and is somewhat homophobic as well. He also claims to Niko that he created the rap music genre.

Manny comes off as a very egotistical man, going so far as to compare himself to Jesus Christ, calling his film the 'gospel of the streets' and claiming that Jay should be filming him every second. However, it's evident that he cares far more about fame and notoriety, rather than his cause, evident in how he often hires Niko Bellic to kill gangbangers and drug dealers for him before taking credit for Niko's work. Manny Escuela is a vigilante who attempts to stop neighborhood crime by himself, particularly gangs and drug dealers. Niko says, 'He'd been trying to help the streets his whole life. She then asks Niko to deliver the bodies to a black market organ dealer, who states the organs will help a lot of people. With the police closing in on her operations, she is in a paranoid, cocaine-fueled state, and immediately shoots both Manny and Jay. Niko visits Elizabeta, but Manny and Jay arrive to tell her to stop selling drugs.

Escuela even goes so far as to take credit for the creation of rap, despite his obvious lack of skill, and implies he refused to continue because of his distaste with commercialization.Д®scuela's annoying habit of filming finally pushes the limits when he attempts to film a confrontation with another 'community leader' of sorts, drug baroness Elizabeta Torres. Even Niko is beyond irritated by Escuela's antics and ridiculous claims. Later, Niko kills some of Manny's former friends.Д®scuela was well known in South Bohan, but generally disliked by most. In an attempt to make his show more believable, he meets corrupt cop, Francis McReary, who appears in one of Escuela's videos. Niko drives around town exterminating drug dealers at the request of Escuela, who arrives afterwards, with a camera crew, to take credit. Rather than personally clean up Bohan himself, Escuela pays Niko, who needs the money, to do the dirty work for him. Manny is eventually introduced to Niko Bellic by his childhood friend, Mallorie Bardas. He operates out of the West Bohan Community Center where he runs a youth outreach program, and is also a dance instructor. However, he has also hired a cameraman, Jay Hamilton, to film his righteous undertaking, leading many to believe that he is only interested in fame and glory. He claims that he owes too much to the 'streets' and wants to clean them up to settle his debt to society. It is implied that he is a former member of the Spanish Lords and a former heroin addict, but is now clean and has changed his ways.

Manny Escuela is a Puerto Rican-American who grew up in South Bohan.
