Carlos
CharacterCarlos holds the rank of capo within the White Tiger crime syndicate, a mob veteran worn down by his organization's grinding feud with the Red Dragon. His push toward peace makes him a target, and a rigged vessel ends both his life and those of the men who followed him.
Appearance
Carlos is presented as a senior syndicate man rather than through any distinctive physical trait. He moves with an entourage of subordinates, the picture of a made figure accustomed to having his crew close at hand.
Personality
Years of bloodshed leave Carlos tired of the endless war between his outfit and its rivals. He proves pragmatic and willing to compromise, reaching out to broker a settlement rather than keep fighting. That readiness to trust also becomes his undoing, since he walks into the truce with no suspicion of the sabotage waiting for him.
History
Weary of the clashes that pit his White Tiger outfit against the rival Red Dragon, Carlos reaches a mutual understanding with Mao Yenrai and travels to the rival headquarters to put his name to a ceasefire. Neither man realizes his ship has been tampered with. As Carlos and his men step out of the building, the craft detonates, killing everyone aboard.
