==Biography==
=== Taking on the Assassins ===
In 2016, Viero's organization was contacted by the Assassin team of Galina Voronina. Galina had a broken leg that required medical attention and needed a discreet doctor while the Assassins were in Mexico hunting their targets and hidding from the Templars.Assassin's Creed – Issue #05
Viera accepted and sent a pair of doctors to treat Galina's leg, his girlfriend and unknown to her a Templar agent. Once in the hotel room where the Assassins were hiding, the Templar was killed by Galina when he tried to pull out a gun from his bag. Sensing that his partner was saying the truth and knew nothing of her colleague's true allegiance, Charlotte de la Cruz knocked her unconscious.
Later, enraged that someone had dared to raise a hand on his girl in his city, Viera decided to hunt down the trio of Assassins and sent his men after them. Disobeying Ortega Sanchez, a Templar who told him that the Assassins were theirs, Viera eventually captured Kody Adams, the team technician. He then cut off Kody's ear, sending it to Galina and Charlotte and telling them that they had twenty minutes to surrender before he cut off another part of their friend.Assassin's Creed – Issue #08
===Death===
Setting a trap for Charlotte and Galina at the empty Estadio Azteca that he rented for the night, Viera, his girlfriend and a dozen of his men waited for the Assassins' arrival. Once there, Galina provided Charlotte with cover fire using a sniper rifle while the latter dispatched Viera's men. Once all the cartel members had been dealt with, Viera's girl began shooting at the Assassins with her own sniper rifle, and as she was taking cover Charlotte was captured by Viera. Shooting her in the foot and threatening to kill both her and Kody, Viera ordered Galina to show herself.Assassin's Creed – Issue #09
Galina did as she was told, but just as Viera was about to kill the Assassins, a Templar strike team led by Ortega Sanchez arrived via helicopter and killed Viera's girlfriend while injuring the cartel leader with a . After the Templars landed, Viera, clinging on to life, crawled towards the butchered body of his love until Whittaker, a Templar agent, finished him off with his gun.
===Legacy===
Following Viera's death, his cartel sought revenge on Ortega Sanchez and the Templars and made a deal with Galina, who offered them a chance to avenge their boss. As Charlotte was about to surrender herself to Sanchez in exchange for her friends' safety, the cartel members opened fire on the Templar's convoy, killing many of his men and preventing Charlotte from falling into the Templars' hands.Assassin's Creed – Issue #10
