His other mission is to assassinate his old mentor, Tom Sheldon, who has gone rogue after the revolution. Agent Rico Rodriguez would get to encounter three factions within the game. First faction is the Roaches, an organized crime syndicate. Another faction is an insurgent communist militia, which call themselves the Reapers. Last faction is an ultranationalist rebel group called the Ular Boys.
