Episode perspective
Tony Prince runs Maisonette 9 and Hercules while Yusuf Amir pushes ambitious development and arms deals, Mori Kibbutz pressures Brucie and his own circle, and Ray Bulgarin reappears from Niko past. Luis sits between protecting Tony and handling people who see the clubs as leverage.
Cross Liberty City continuity
Niko Bellic and Johnny Klebitz appear because the diamond story threads through all three Liberty City stories. Gracie Ancelotti links the Ancelotti family to that same chain, while Brucie Kibbutz provides the sibling link to Mori. Each crossover is included only for the part that touches Luis and Tony, not for that persons full biography in the other episodes.
What inclusion signals
Presence confirms a link to The Ballad of Gay Tony. It does not by itself signal playable status, ally or enemy alignment, mission count or final fate. Role is a broad label and Overview carries the episode specific identity check. Order is not a ranking of importance, power or loyalty.
Scope and spoilers

That campaign shares continuity with GTA IV and The Lost and Damned where missions overlap, but characters and events that never affect Luis episode stay outside. Overviews avoid late mission outcomes and can be checked without learning how the diamond chain resolves.
