Paulo Guerra

Paulo Guerra (パウロ・ゲラ, Pauro Gera) was the main antagonist of Razing Storm. He was the leader of a revolutionary movement against a South American nation, and the S.C.A.R. task force was sent to capture or kill him. His army consists of terrorists, militias and Renegade Soldiers, as well as hi-tech weapons like the Raptor, H.A.C.S. Power Armor, and the "Kraken". His name was unofficial. He earned his name because he masterminded an attack on the United States with the help of some military groups.

Appearance

Guerra has short brown hair, gray eyes and sideburns. He also has brown facial hair and a red cross-shaped earring on his left ear.

Guerra wears a dress uniform which is a half-sleeved green-brown coat with red cuffs, dark brown buttons on the front and green-brown epaulettes secured by dark brown buttons, and matching green-brown pants which have pockets on each pant leg. He also wears black combat boots over the lower pants. There is a red collared shirt underneath the coat. The coat is tucked in with a dark brown belt that has a silver buckle around his waist. There are dog tags around his neck.

History

Guerra first appears inside a cell in Almada Penitentiary. After the civilian militia successfully overcome the prison guards, possibly killing the prison chief and set him free, Guerra wasted no time taking over the capital. To strengthen his rule, Guerra captured the president, extorted him to give him the password and copied his iris for the security system. This allows him to use nuclear bombs supplied to his country by the United States, something he will do unless all American forces are at least 100 km out of his country. While S.C.A.R. Delta and Assault teams stormed the Almada Penitentiary (the location which Guerra transmitted a message to HQ) and gained control, he has already escaped to the capital, resulting in HQ dispatching Alpha and Bravo teams to take him out by using the satellite laser cannon.

While on the way to Guerra's base of operations, King, leader of the Alpha team, briefs his members on their objective of delivering the coordinates of Guerra's base of operations so that an attack from the satellite laser cannon can be launched. Guerra appears as a visual image while the objective is being played. After Bravo team sets up the satellite pathfinder and requests Alpha team to send the coordinates of Guerra's base of operations, the satellite laser pointer identifies Guerra among the mass of people believed to be torturing some hostages.

After Guerra is believed to be killed by the satellite laser cannon and some of the Bravo team members along with their leader Hunt taken hostage in Girasol factory, Alpha team along with Delta team leader Casey and a Delta team member, stormed the factory. After defeating the enemies inside, they reached the lowermost section only to find Guerra alive. Initially, he tried to give the signal to launch the nuclear missiles via a phone call only to have his cellphone shot away by Casey. After that, he gets into a giant robot powered by jets and armed with missile launchers and laser cannons. After a battle, he is killed by a sniper bullet fired into the robot cockpit.

Trivia

• His name means Paul's War (Guerra meaning war in Portuguese).
• He is the only boss in the Time Crisis series that the player does not directly engage in both the arcade and story modes (in the latter, the player engages the robot he pilots instead). On a related note, he is the weakest boss with no lifebars of his own and only requires one shot to be killed (via a cutscene).
