DeFalco

"The concept of empathy is understood by him... but is irrelevant."

- Farid

DeFalco is the alias of the secondary antagonist of Call of Duty: Black Ops II. He is the leader of the Mercs and assists Raul Menendez throughout the campaign.

DeFalco's first appearance is in the mission Fallen Angel, where he is seen briefly conversing with Menendez. He leaves shortly afterwards and does not appear in the mission again.

DeFalco appears in the mission Karma, where he and his mercenaries storm into Cayman Trench looking for Chloe. After he executes a hostage, Chloe hands herself to him. Mason and Harper then pursue him, and depending on the player's actions, he either escapes with Chloe or is killed by Mason.

Choice 1=David Mason kills DeFalco as he tries to escape Colossus with Chloe. Choice 2=If the player rescues Chloe after Karma, DeFalco joins Menendez in Odysseus and helps him upload the virus onto the USS Obama's networks. Before Menendez uploads the virus, however, DeFalco will attack Chloe. Undercover CIA agent Farid will shoot DeFalco, who will be in return shot by Salazar. Choice 3=If Chloe remains kidnapped, DeFalco joins Menendez in Odysseus and helps him upload the virus onto the USS Obama's networks. However, Farid will shoot him as soon as he approaches, but DeFalco will return fire on Farid, killing them both. This occurrance unlocks the Showdown achievement/trophy. Choice 4=DeFalco joins Menendez in Odysseus and helps him upload the virus onto the USS Obama's networks. Before Menendez uploads the virus, however, DeFalco will attack and kill Chloe.

He appears again briefly in the mission Judgement Day, at the end of the mission. He is shot and killed by David Mason.

Trivia

 * DeFalco is the first major antagonist in a Call of Duty campaign who can be fought and killed in a normal firefight, instead of as part of a special scripted event. If the player is fast enough to catch up to him at the end of the mission "Karma", he will attack the player alongside two Mercs, or, alternatively, the player can shoot him from a distance before he leaves the building.
 * DeFalco also appears to speak Spanish (or at the very least understand it) as seen when talking to Menendez in the mission "Fallen Angel".
