== Personality ==
Diego when out of combat is a very relaxed person, he is friendly to his comrades and will always be respectful but knows how to be a strict leader for the better of his men. His professional attitude lets him be serious when he needs to be but more laid back when he can. During combat Diego will change completely. Becoming ultra focused and emotionless in a state of zen, furthered by his preference of taking point and getting his hands dirty makes him a frightning combatant. His ruthlessness and skill in combat has given him a well deserved reputation among his peers and enemies alike. He was given the nickname "Diablo" in reference to his uncanny talents in war and violence.
