Paco Mendez

Paco Mendez is the owner of a nightclub called the Blue Lagoon. He has his hand in several criminal activities, and is the renter of the apartment in which Ethan Mars underwent the Lizard Trial (which he, in turn, sublets to the Origami Killer). Madison Paige investigates him in the chapter "Sexy Girl" after finding a card for his nightclub in the house of a deranged doctor. As Madison leaves the premises, FBI agent Norman Jayden arrives to investigate Paco because of his connections with Jackson "Mad Jack" Neville. He is shot and killed by the Origami Killer, who kept Paco out of prison at one point - a point he mentions just before Jayden arrives. Jayden and the Origami Killer then have a physical altercation, with the Origami Killer escaping.

==Trivia==
* Paco is one of two antagonists in Heavy Rain who has direct ties to the Origami Killer, the other being Jackson Neville.
* David Gasman, the man who provided the motion capture and voice for Paco, also voiced Lucas Kane and Tyler Miles in Indigo Prophecy. He is also the model for the police officer in the prologue chapter of Beyond: Two Souls. Both games are more of David Cage's interactive/cinematic games.
** Gasman also voiced Jim Morales in Code Lyoko. Jim features as a character in a film titled "Paco, the King of Disco," possibly indicating that Paco Mendez is a reference to Jim.
* The flashback of the Origami Killer shooting Paco is still seen if Madison dies in "The Doc," but not if Norman dies in "Mad Jack." This implies that he was murdered not because he gave Madison information, but because the killer found out about what happened to Neville (who knew Paco) and was taking extra precautions.

* Paco's zodiac sign is Scorpio.
