Diego Salgado

Diego Salgado is a character featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. He is a member of the Las Almas Cartel and lieutenant of El Sin Nombre.
==Biography==
Not much is known about Diego, but he's well known as one of the lieutenants of the Las Almas Cartel as well as the right-hand man of El Sin Nombre. 
He first appears when he meets with Johnny "Soap" MacTavish on the first floor of his mansion. After Soap introduces himself, Diego scoffs at his ridiculous nickname and proceeds to escort him to the interrogation room, where Nunez and his men are being detained and tortured.
Diego introduces Valeria Garza to Soap, stating that he has some useful information concerning the attack that occurred two days before. Valeria strangles Diego and holds a knife to his throat, pointing out that Soap has already seen their faces even though they have yet to confirm his legitimacy.
Valeria proceeds to ask several questions to Soap about the assailants who ambushed them and the gunship support who assisted them throughout the operation. Per Alejandro Vargas' instructions, Soap replies honestly and informs them that it was the Mexican Special Forces who attacked them with the help of Shadow Company as air support. Soap also reveals Phillip Graves as the leader of Shadow Company, prompting a reaction from Diego upon hearing the name, referring to Graves as "Fill Graves".
Afterward, Diego executes Nunez, who fails to provide any useful intel. He then escorts Soap along with Valeria to the elevator where they inform Soap that he needs to wait for El Sin Nombre's approval in order to speak to him. Diego then orders his guard to lead him to the waiting room as he is going to his own private room.
Depending on the player's choice, Soap's next interaction with Diego can differ, though both outcomes result in Diego's death:
*If the player chooses to steal Diego's keycard, Soap has to enter his room and kill him.
**If the player chooses to sneak up on Diego and melee him, a unique execution animation will occur, where Soap will snatch Diego's knife from him and stab Diego in the throat, causing him to say "Fucking hawk" before he died.
*If the player finds a different path to El Sin Nombre's room, Soap, and Alejandro will find Diego reporting to Valeria, who is revealed at this point to be El Sin Nombre. They then breach the room and kill Diego, before apprehending Valeria.
