Biography[]
Background[]
Not much is known about Manny's past, but he grew up in Mexico with his father, and the two managed to survive the Cordyceps outbreak. After the outbreak commenced, Manny joined the Fireflies and was stationed at St. Mary's hospital in Salt Lake City, where he befriended Abby Anderson, Owen Moore, Nora Harris, Mel, Jordan, Nick and Leah. When Joel Miller proceeded to kill Marlene, Dr. Jerry Anderson and half of the Fireflies, Manny and Owen arrived and discovered Jerry's corpse. Abby soon arrived and Owen comforted her, as Manny could do nothing but watch helplessly. After the Fireflies disbanded, Manny and the group traveled to Seattle, Washington, where they joined the Washington Liberation Front.
Both Manny and Abby became the W.L.F.'s most capable soldiers, as Isaac considered them his best and had them rise in the ranks with their own groups. When not going on patrols, Manny was known to sleep around with numerous women, and even asked Abby to give him her room for the night to sleep with a W.L.F. weather broadcaster
The Last of Us Part II[]
Manny accompanied Abby to Jackson, Wyoming to help her get revenge, and would assist her by pinning Joel down after his leg was shot. After Abby tortured and murdered Joel, Manny spat on his corpse before leaving Miller's brother and adopted daughter, Tommy and Ellie, alive by Owen's request. Returning to Seattle, Manny was one of the few in the group to have not been affected by the incident, and continued his service to the liberation front. A few weeks later, Manny was assigned to travel to the forward operating base alongside Abby and Mel, and attempted to ease the tension that had rose between the two. During their travel, they were ambushed by the Seraphites and were forced to fight against the cult and the infected.
The group were rescued by a W.L.F. patrol and reached the base, where Manny and Abby learned from Nora that Danny was dead after being shot by Owen. Meeting with Isaac in his building, Manny and Abby were given leadership over two platoons to head the assault on the Seraphites' settlement. Despite being ordered to not locate Owen, Abby disobeyed orders and Manny agreed to help her leave without being detected. When Isaac discovered this, he interrogated her friends, and Manny didn't get him any information. As a result, Alvarez was promoted as leader of both platoons to head the invasion. He was then assigned to acquire boats for the assault, but Manny's platoon were all killed by Joels' brother Tommy, who traveled to Seattle to get revenge. Meeting with Abby, Manny worked with her to reach Tommy's location, but was instead killed by Miller with a shot to the head.
