History

Francisco Salamanca grew up with many other Salamancas and was brought to the cartel business. However, together with various others, he was selected to infiltrate Germania. He quickly rose up to a high rank of Obergruppenführer and eventually even Oberstgruppenführer. Hector Salamanca, selected Francisco to be the Führer if they manage to achieve that. However, Francisco never achieved this rank. Pedro and Victor Salamanca were sent to kill John Smith and Enric Pryde. Pedro and Victor initiated a shootout. Pedro and Victor were standing behind a car whilst Pryde and Smith were standing behind their car. Enric Pryde shot Pedro and went over to the Salamanca car to kill Pedro. However, here, Victor managed to kill Pryde. In the time Victor was trying to kill Pryde, Smith ran up to Victor and tried to kill him. After a physical fight between Victor and Smith, Smith managed to grab his pistol and shoot Victor, killing him. Francisco was furious, as were the other Salamancas, particularly Hector. Francisco swore to avenge Pedro and Victor. He went to Smith's penthouse to kill Smith. He was successful in getting Smith to surrender. However, Smith had expected someone would try to kill him. Therefore, Smith had set up a bomb. Smith sitting on his knees whilst Francisco was standing caused the explosion to knock Francisco down and injure him badly, whilst Smith was only mildly injured. He pulled his gun and made Francisco face a broken window. Smith then shot Francisco through his head.
