Rocco (Classic) is a mercenary added into the game during the 5-27-09 Patch. He is Italian and the first mercenary to wear the Balanced Vest.
Biography[]
Rocco previously served as a Major in the UAF Counter-Terrorist Task Force where his exceptional strategy and incisive tactics made him an effective and respected commissioned officer. Despite his distinguished service record, Rocco abruptly decided to leave the military after a personal tragedy.
Five years ago, Rocco lost his family in a devastating car accident. During the lengthy investigation, evidence pointed to the possibility that Miles Coleman (Rocco’s commanding officer in Operation Desert Thunder) and Warcorp were somehow involved in the tragedy. Bent on revenge, Rocco joined Warcorp in order to find those responsible.
Now, as a Warcorp associate and freelance mercenary, Rocco travels the world, finishing contract after contract no matter the risk – all the while trying to hide his true intentions. As he cuts a path through kidnappings, “threatening” groups and underworld empires, he continues to investigate the connection of Warcorp and its leader, Miles Coleman, to the loss of his family in an attempt to uncover the truth behind the accident and punish those responsible.
