History
Following the death of Mollaka in Madagascar, Le Chiffre hires Carlos to sabotage a aerospace company called Skyfleet by destroying its S570 prototype. To that end, Carlos met up with with Quantum financier Alex Dimitrios to speed up the process.

Posing as a police officer, Carlos awaits for Alex's arrival to the Miami International Airport, unaware that Bond has already killed Alex. Using Alex's phone, Bond was able to trace down Carlo's location. Upon realizing that he has been spotted by Bond, Carlos runs out onto the runway where he commandeers a fuel truck before heading off towards the prototype, attaching a small bomb to the underside of the tanker.

Bond manages to board the tanker, but Carlos jumps off after a brief fight, forcing Bond to stop the tanker from crashing into the plane before he is arrested by airport security. Watching Bond being arrested, Carlos smugly activates the bomb, but realizes too late that Bond previously attached it to Carlo's belt. As such, Carlos perishes to his death in the explosion.
