He admitted to skipping school in order to spend time in the mountainous trails at the outskirts of the city, which, by the time the campaign takes place, is now a Cartel hideout. At some point in his life, most likely once he turned 18, he enlisted in the Mexican Army and, at another undisclosed point after that, joined the Mexican Special Forces, serving alongside Valeria Garza. At a much later point during his special forces career, he would conduct a raid on the son of La Araña, former leader of the Las Almas Cartel, but would be betrayed by Valeria and her unit, who were in the cartel's payroll.[1] Eventually Vargas was promoted to Colonel and became the commanding officer of Los Vaqueros, a special forces unit composed solely of non corrupt operators who grew up in Los Almas. At an unknown point, presumably after Valeria's Betrayal, he would make contact with Kate Laswell and began cooperating with her, even progressing as far as to reach a "first name basis"[2], indicating a level of mutual trust between them. Los Vaqueros and Task Force 141 During Borderline, Rudy and Alejandro are dispatched by Kate Laswell to prevent Hassan Zyani from being smuggled over the border wall by members of the Las Almas Cartel. They are too late and pursue Zyani over the border wall into the United States despite having no legal authority to do so. After pursuing Zyani and his cartel escorts through a residential neighborhood they are cornered by local authorities outside the cartel safehouse and ambushed by cartel members. Rudy and Alejandro survive the ambush and Rudy moves forward to clear the safehouse. After neutralizing several cartel gunmen Rudy is ambushed again by Zyani's escorts and left to die after being taunted by Zyani and the house lit ablaze. Fortunately he is saved by Alejandro as Zyani and his escorts escape. In Cartel Protection, Alejandro commands one of the squads of Vaqueros that raids the cartel hideout. This squad includes Johnny "Soap" MacTavish and Simon "Ghost" Riley. After fighting their way through Cartel gunmen to the final building, they discover that they missed Zyani. They are then attacked by corrupt elements of the Mexican Army and forced to escape from the hideout. Separated from the rest of the Vaqueros, Alejandro leads the team into the mountains via trails that he used to play on as a kid while being pursued by the Army while Rodriguez unsuccessfully attempts to radio for help. After losing Rodriguez to a sniper shot, Alejandro leads Ghost and Soap into jumping from the cliff into the river below. Together they swim while fighting their way to the extraction point at a nearby bridge. After being rescued by Phillip Graves and his gunship at the bridge, Alejandro drives the team to a nearby Cartel compound where Zyani was spotted. During Close Air, Alejandro assists Soap and Ghost in clearing several buildings in the cartel compound while being covered from above by the Shadow Company AC-130. This culminates in the trio taking Zyani into custody as Rudy arrives in a getaway vehicle to extract them. When they are ambushed in Hardpoint, Alejandro bunkers down with the rest of the team on a rooftop in the town of Olmeida as they are attacked by wave after wave of cartel gunmen and corrupt Mexican Army soldiers attempting to recover Zyani. They are again provided air cover by Graves and his gunship until they are extracted from the town by a Black Hawk helicopter. He is later present at Zyani's interrogation in the Mexican desert. In El Sin Nombre the team plans to infiltrate a cartel mansion and capture the head of the Las Almas cartel, El Sin Nombre. Alejandro infiltrates the cartel mansion as a member of the security staff and assists Soap in making his way to the penthouse where they discover that El Sin Nombre is none other than his former Special Forces teammate Valeria Garza. They eliminate her guards and take her into custody on the mansion's roof before returning to base. During the subsequent interrogation, Alejandro reveals some of his past history with Valeria after being goaded by her. He then warns Graves and the TF141 members not to make a deal with her before storming out. In Dark Water, Alejandro, Graves, Soap, Ghost and Shadow Company conduct a boat assault of a disused oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico being used by the Cartel as a smuggling dead drop in an attempt to recover one of the stolen missiles. During the assault the missile enters it's pre-launch phase. Alejandro remains on the platform while Ghost, Soap and Graves assault the nearby cargo ship where the missile's controls are located. When Graves and Soap are forced to target the oil platform to prevent the missile from striking New Orleans, Alejandro and the members of Shadow Company that stayed behind quickly evacuated the platform before impact. Upon returning to base, Alejandro discovers that it has been taken over by Shadow Company on Shepherd's orders and the Vaqueros still at the base detained. Angrily confronting Graves over this action, Alejandro is knocked unconscious and captured while Soap and Ghost evade Graves and his men and escape into Las Almas. Alejandro is taken to a run-down prison being used by Shadow Company as a black site. During Prison Break, Alejandro and the rest of the Vaqueros are freed by Rudy, Soap and Ghost. They fight their way past the remaining Shadow Company guards and are assisted at the end by the newly arrived John Price and Kyle "Gaz" Garrick. After being freed and returned to his safehouse, Alejandro rallies the Vaqueros and they form the JTF - Ghost Team with the TF141 members. In Ghost Team they infiltrate the Special Forces base via underground tunnels with the dual objectives of securing Valeria, who is still being held in custody in a base hangar, and killing Graves for his betrayal. The task force successfully completes both objectives. Alejandro and Rudy are later shown taking Valeria back into custody as they bid farewell to Soap, Ghost and Price on the base's runway. Some time between November 2022 and April 2023, Valeria escapes custody, prompting Alejandro to hunt her down yet again.
