Castro's Mistress

Castro's human shield, (sometimes referred to as "Castro's Mistress") is a minor character in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Black Ops
When Castro's double and she is found in Carlos' old plantation, she will be taken by the double as a human shield. The player can either choose to try and spare her by going for the double's head, or the player can simply shoot through her. If she lives through the assassination, she will pick up a KS-23 from the bed and try and kill Woods and Mason. At which point, she is either killed by Woods or the player, depending on who fires first.

Trivia

 * Her gown is rendered separately from her body. This can be seen via clipping through her after she is dead (by going prone). This is different from all other NPCs, who have their bodies rendered with their clothes as their skin, rather than separately. This suggests that the developers might have considered to have her naked.
 * She is the first enemy of the Call of Duty series to be a woman. She can be shot at if optional to the player after killing Castro's double.
