** [[TheGeneralissimo President Geraldo Deldago Vargas]] is the vile leader of Costa Sentava, who took control of the country by overthrowing the previous President in a military coup. Starting off his tyrannical rule by oppressing his own people, Vargas used [[DeadlyGas deadly CVX gas]] to horrifically slaughter the resistance to his rule, having over 100 people killed in a single attack. Hating the US, Vargas [[FalseFlagOperation orchestrates a series of terrorist attacks upon his own people]], not caring when his own aunt got killed in one of them, to frame the Americans for them and convince the people of Costa Sentava to join his cause. Using Senator Davies to smuggle CVX bombs into the US Capitol, Vargas hoped to destroy Washington, D.C., solely to kill off the President of the US and take over America, wanting to make it "the second Sentava".
** [[CorruptPolitician Senator Davies]] is a treacherous member of the "inner circle", who decided to betray his country by joining Vargas's scheme. Assisting Vargas in organizing the attacks upon people of Costa Sentava to make them join Vargas's attack on the US, Davies helped Vargas's men to smuggle CVX bombs into the Capitol, which threatened to wipe out D.C. When [[PlayerCharacter Agent Pierce]] foiled their attempts to kill the President-Elect, Davies took the President-Elect hostage and tried to force Pierce to let him escape by threatening to detonate a CVX grenade, which would kill over 1,000 innocent people, including his own men.
