Biography[]
Prior to becoming the CEO of NeoDyne, Diaz was corrupt army general in an unidentified country (presumably Panama) and had dabbled in criminal activities since his military service.
Diaz later founded the NeoDyne Industries Ltd. (NDI), a data communications company. In the game's intro, he introduces the Starline Network, a network of 64 satellites, which he boasts that "will unite the world." However, the VSSE has become suspicious of Diaz, who believe that the Starline Network is a mere front, devised to launch a nuclear satellite into space.
VSSE dispatches two agents, Keith Martin and Robert Baxter, to investigate. Diaz's henchman, Jakov Kinisky, kidnaps another VSSE agent named Christy Ryan (who had tried to uncover the secrets behind the satellite launch) and brings her to Diaz at NeoDyne's headquarters.
After Kinisky and Buff Bryant both fail to kill Keith and Robert, Diaz is eventually forced to send his right-hand man, Wild Dog, to deal with them instead. Wild Dog is defeated and before Diaz can launch the satellite, he almost kills Christy and then takes command of a large decoy satellite model in order to finally finish off the agents. After an intense gunfight, the satellite is heavily damaged and breaks apart, sending Diaz falling to his death into the missile silo containing the actual satellite.
