Biography
Ricardo Diaz, known under the alias "Dragon", headed an illegal drug operation in Star City. When he sent his men to retrieve the components of a military-grade 3D printer, they were intercepted by Team Arrow. Dragon appeared, setting off a smoke bomb, before walking away. Sometime later, Dragon met John Diggle when he went directly to his supplier, hoping for more drugs. Diaz checked him out, simply assuring him that they had no FDA approval and thus had to be careful. Later that night, Diaz assisted his crew with stealing a 3D printer from Palmer Technologies' bio division. He stepped out of a car, much to the surprise of the Green Arrow, managing to shoot the vigilante. Shortly following Dragon was at their manufacturing warehouse, when Team Arrow showed up. Diaz dropped a drum of petrol, lighting it on fire, burning all of his drugs, before escaping.
