Hector Mendoza

Hector Mendoza is a member of the Cuban Secret Police and the father of Nicholas Mendoza. He was essentially a paid assassin who tortured people targeted by the Secret Police for information and typically ended their lives once he obtained it. As stated by Nick, he almost always brought his work home with him and took it out on both his wife and son, eventually leading his wife to take Nick out of the country and smuggle them into the United States where they lived in Miami. Hector's actions, however, did lead Nick to eventually join law enforcement as he had wanted to become a 'real cop' unlike his father.

Nick never found out what had happened to his father but doubted that he was still alive and made it a point that he did not care as he wanted nothing to do with the man. Curious about Nick's upbringing, Captain Julian Dawes found a file of Hector Mendoza, revealing that he had in fact been executed as an enemy of the people by the Cuban government on February 4, 1992 following an attempt to flee Cuba to Brazil by plane on January 27, 1992. Nick was later shocked to discover the file while he was assaulting Dawes penthouse, bring up the question as to why Dawes still had the file in his possession and how it connects to Preferred Outcomes.
