He first appeared in the Final Fight game from the 80s, and in many other fighting games since then. The first and only playable appearance of this character was in the game Final Fight Revenge.
El Gado is part of the original Mad Gear gang that terrorized the streets of Metro City. He sports a beard and wears a greenish-yellow military outfit. He is of Arabic origin, and his fighting style is Souo-katsuken (Double Scorpion Tail technique).
He works directly for Rolento, along with Holly Wood (his palette-swap), Axl and Slash. They are the primary foot soldiers in Rolento's "army", all trained by Rolento himself.
Both El Gado and Holly Wood are knife-wielding enemies who wear military style costumes, known for their agile movements which they forged by dancing. They have a special technique known as the "Jumping Knife Attack". These two also appeared in Street Fighter Zero 3 as part of Rolento's special techniques and win poses.
