Alejandro Rojas

Alejandro Rojas, alias "Alex the Red", was an arms dealer in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. He lived in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, and was protected by the local militia. He was also a contact and armorer of Vladimir Makarov, which is the reason he attracted the attention of Task Force 141.

Military history
According to information in the cutscene before "Takedown", Rojas began his career as a low level munitions clerk for the KGB, Soviet Intelligence, but quickly worked his way up the career ladder. He oversaw overseas connections with the Far East and South American trades, a buffer between government and mercenaries trading in all levels of weaponry.

Rojas then went freelance in 1998, where he went off the grid for many years, and was thought to be involved with many terrorist organizations. He is eventually pursued and captured by Task Force 141 when Captain John "Soap" MacTavish tackles him out a window to pin him on a car below, and interrogated for information on Makarov. The Task Force leaves him for dead, with MacTavish saying that "The streets will take care of him".

Trivia

 * In the beginning of the level "The Hornet's Nest", before moving uphill with Soap and Ghost, the player can see Rojas tied up to a steel fenced window with electrical plugs attached to him, showing he was tortured, though he is still alive and the player can shoot and kill him.
 * After following MacTavish and the rest of Task Force 141 up the path and killing a few enemies in the first engagement, if the player returns they will find Rojas' body has disappeared. This is most likely because the game can only process so many characters at a time, and the developers would not expect the player to return to the area.
 * Alejandro Rojas, along with Rojas' Assistant, Raptor, and Nikolai, is not featured in the "Museum".
 * Right next to Rojas is a car battery.
 * It was possible there was an intended torture scene with the player torturing Rojas, as there is a power drill on a table next to him and located in the game files (found on PC) is the remnants of a cut weapon called "power drill".
 * According to Soap's Journal, Rojas is affiliated with a shipping company called Fregata; the same company featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
 * When Rojas is running across the rooftops with his dufflebag, the money flying out of it seems to be American money.
 * In Soap's Journal, his name is misspelled as Alexander.
