Diaz with the Helix

By mid-2017, Diaz planned to conquer Star City's underworld, hiring Karl Iscove to kill Cayden James' son and manipulate him into thinking the Green Arrow did it. Diaz then joined Helix; Cayden's cabal along with Sheck, Vigilante, Anatoli Knyazev and Black Siren to destroy Team Arrow, (without Cayden knowing that he had killed his son.) To leave no Anatoli Knyazev, Diaz later killed Karl. Diaz also used Helix resources to bribe and blackmail various politicians, judges, police officers to work for him. After Cayden was arrested by Star City Police Department, Diaz revealed the truth to him and killed him, taking over as the new leader of the organization.
