Carlos Mendoza was a mercenary in the employ of General Raveshaw during the First Tiberium War. He had a psychotic personality and sadistic tendencies, but excelled in combat. Thus, after the extremists he was working for (the Sword of Chagall, a Colombian separatist movement) decided his methods were too extreme even for them, he was hired by the Black Hand. His bloodthirsty attitude soon earned him the antipathy of most regular Brotherhood members, who viewed him as a savage betraying the ways of Nod.
He was the personal bodyguard of General Raveshaw as well as one of the most effective Black Hand operatives. He specialized in heavy weapons, flamethrowers in particular, which he used without any protective suit (although he did use one whenever he was forced to). When project ReGenesis was exposed to GDI and captain Parker became a significant threat to the research effort by almost intercepting the jet plane they were evacuated with, Mendoza was sent to kill the GDI commando, after Parker nearly killed him with a sniper rifle.
He failed however, and developed an obsession about Captain Parker and proceeded to stalk him throughout the burning village near the Black Hand base of operations. He failed again, and returned to general Raveshaw in the castle the Black Hand occupied. Eventually, the stronghold was infiltrated by captain Parker in search for the missing scientists and during a tense standoff Mendoza triggered a self-destruct sequence when he destroyed the research lab.
When Captain Parker and Dr. Sydney Mobius reached the helicopter pad in an effort to rescue the rest of the science staff (they were separated during the explosion), Mendoza stayed behind to fight Captain Parker there. Despite his proficency in martial arts, captain Parker managed to gun him down as the mercenary attempted to kill Sydney Mobius.
He was killed when his flame tanks ruptured and burned him down.
