Funnily enough, him being considered as nothing special by everyone around him is actually a major part of his character. Hardly. He didn't whisper in Cayden's ear every step of the way telling him what to do. All he did was motivate Cayden to go after Oliver. Cayden did the rest. Nothing was Diaz's work until Cayden died. The fact that Diaz secretly manipulated Cayden into doing what he wanted makes him more impressive than if he had to give specific instructions to the latter throughout the way. Yes, not to mention he bribed and extorted vital persons to get power. Also he tracked down Roy Harper. Diaz is a master manipulator and highly perceptive.

He killed Cayden's son to make Cayden go after Team Arrow. Then he joined Cayden's team and subtly manipulated Cayden while working for him. While Cayden thought he was in charge and Diaz was just a streetthug doing grunt work Diaz was actually controlling it all. Cayden thought he was in control and had it all figured out. However in reality he was being controlled and the only thing he knew was what Diaz wanted him to know. This is greatly shown in the scene right before Cayden gets killed.
