==Biography==
===Background===
Dani was born on May 4th, 1996 to unnamed parents, and raised in Yara's capital city Esperanza. At a young age, Dani was raised in poverty as an orphan, and became close friends to Lita Torres and Alejo Ruiz. Gaining a rebellious nature, Dani once noted that they once rigged a chainsaw onto a bike, but they would later go on to join the military when their name was called for conscription. They would drop out of the military due to assaulting their superior officer and remained on Yara, but developed great skills from their training, which proved pivotal for the event of the game. Though Dani decide to remain in Yara with Lita and Alejo, they, started to see the decay of Yara by its dictator, Antón Castillo and his regime - Fuerzas Nacionales de Defensa, and planned to leave for Miami.
===Far Cry 6===
Seeing that Castillo and his fascist regime were enslaving innocent citizens, Dani decided to flee Yara to the United States with Lita and Alejo via a fishing boat. Before traveling to the boat, Alejo is killed by provoking an FND fascist soldier, causing Dani to move hastily with Lita to reach their destination. When attempting to leave the country, Dani and Lita encountered Antón, who was looking for his son Diego, as he was hiding among the refugees. After Antón left with his son, he ordered his general Raul Sanchez to kill the refugees and sink the boat to prevent anyone4 from escaping. Dani survived the incident, but Lita was mortally wounded, but gave her friend her smartphone to seek out the Libertad, a guerilla communist group fighting against Castillo's fascist army.
Reaching to the shore of Isla Santuario, Dani meets with Libertad's leader Clara Garcia, who tasks them with finding Juan Cortez and later clear the area of viviro, a new cancer treatment made from a chemical that is sprayed on the country's tobacco. After disrupting the creation of the drug with Julio Velez, Isla Santuario's blockade is destroyed, allowing Libertad members to escape to their individual headquarters in Yara. Joining the revolution, Dani meets with Clara, who tasks them with joining forces with other freedom fighters to cripple Castillo's regime. The player is given the option to choose which region to travel, but Clara advises Rojas to meet with the Montero family in Madrugada to deal with Antón's nephew, José Castillo.
====Madrugada====
Traveling to Madrugada, Rojas meets with Philly Bárzaga, and survives one of his traps and is given the location of Camila "La Espada" Montero at a FND building. Dani meets with La Espada, who takes them to the Montero ranch after evading FND forces, and meet her father Carlos Montero. Carlos shows immediate distrust of Dani, but the latter is able to gain his favor by destroying several PG-240X canisters and a plane that releases the chemical on the fields. Rojas then works with Camila to confront Jose's second lieutenant, who turns out to be her brother Alejandro, who decided to leave the family to work for the FND. Afterward, Dani works with Carlos to rescue several prisoners from the Gabriel Castillo public school (which was converted into a prison), and manages to rescue Carlos' friend Miguel Delgado.
Once the celebration of Miguel's return has ended, Dani works with Philly to retrieve a truck full of weapons, with Bárzaga only wanting to collect the foam in the weapon cases. When Familia Montero learns that José plans on executing rebels at Verdera's town square, Carlos decides to enact a rescue, but it goes awry when Alejandro is revealed to the one prepared to be executed. Alejandro is rescued at the cost of Carlos' life, and Rojas and Camila learn that Miguel is a mole for José, and La Espada kills him for his treachery. After Carlos' funeral, Camilia takes leadership of the group and decides to make José come out by burning all of his tobacco fields at once. Rojas destroys the fields and succeeds in defeating José, allowing Camilia to kill him to avenge her father. During the celebration of Madrugada's liberation, Clara arrives and La Espada agrees to unite with Libertad to take the fight to Antón.
Following Madrugada's liberation, Clara contacts Dani to meet her in Esperanza, where she tasks them with planting explosions at different checkpoints to launch an attack on Antón. Though successful, Dani only finds Diego, who lets them leave before explaining that his father is sick. 
====El Este====
Traveling to El Este, Rojas meets with El Tigre, who explains that his living friends of the Legends refuse to fight against Antón. Dani then starts to work with La Moral, a youthful rebellious group led by Yelena Morales and Jonrón. Rojas is able to convince the rest of the Legends to take the fight against the FND, and after helping El Tigre obtain the group's tank, assault Admiral Benítez's island. They are able to kill Benítez, but Sean McKay takes the reigns and successfully kills resistance members at the Grand Hotel Caballero, including EL Tigre and Jonrón. Wanting to avenge their fallen comrades, Rojas works on collecting data from McKay and later destroys each field, but the resistance learns that Sean plans on escaping via a boat.
Rojas confronts McKay by stopping the boat, but Juan calls and tells Dani that they are making a deal with Sean in exchange for his life. Depending on the player's choices, Rojas can leave McKay at the cost of being briefly chastised by Yelena, or kill him and not received the money. Yelena meets with Clara and agrees to join her in fighting against Castillo, uniting La Moral and the Legends to Libertad.
Following El Este's liberation from Benítez and McKay, Juan contacts Rojas and has them obtain viviro to sell to the Central Intelligence Agency for money. Dani is then kidnapped and tortured by Antón and General Sanchez, but barely escapes after Diego saves them and agrees to listen to his father.
====Valle De Oro====
Traveling to Valle De Oro to stop María Marquessa's propaganda, Rojas rescues Máximas Matanzas' leaders Talia Benavidez and Paolo de la Vega, and works with them to spread word of fighting against Castillo's fascist regime. Despite the strain between Talia and Paolo, Rojas assists Benavidez in confronting Marquessa at a vivro presentation, where Talia kills María on live-television. Despite her death, Dr. Édgar Reyes remains control of the region, and captures Paulo and then poisons Rojas. Dani is able to kill the doctor and liberate the region, and Máximas Matanza agrees to unite with Libertad.
====Defeating Antón====
After all of the regions have been liberated, Dani is informed by Cortez that Clara is being held by Antón on his private island, as the president tricked her into a false surrender. Infiltrating the island, Rojas prevents Juan from killing Diego, which causes Antón to kill Clara and leave with his son. Dani is then forced to kill off Antón's forces and capture the island, and gets into a brief scuffle with Juan for his actions. Afterward, Rojas is given command of Libertad, and decides to continue with Clara's plan to assault Esperanza and confront Castillo. Reaching to Torre Del León, Rojas confronts Castillo, who asks them will they protect Diego from the rebels and citizens. Dani promises, but Castillo doesn't believe them and kills his son and himself, preventing his son from going through what happened him previously.
Dani attempts to save Diego to no avail, and refuses to take Yara when it's offered to them, instead giving it to the others as they walk out of the building. After attending Clara's funeral with Juan, Dani continues to fight against the remnants of the FND, who are attempting to reclaim Yara under Castillo's vision under the leadership of insurgents.
====Alternate Ending====
If Dani decides to leave Yara to the United States, a news report states that Clara was killed, but this is ambiguous due to Yara's censorship under Castillo's fascist regime.
