So the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this pic was, this guy is going to get his ass kicked by Isabella Racine.
The next question is why though? Does he work for her? He reminds me of her father-in-law but I’m thinking he’s Spanish not French. I also feel like he wouldn’t work for her. Like he’s an arrogant prick.
But he’s also friends with Isabella’s father-in-law. They’re old buddies from secret French/Spain taskforce in the 80’s, 90’s.
So I take another look at the pic and it looks like he’s standing guard. Like he’s security for an event. But what if he’s not? What if the people in the background are actually hostages?
Where’s his mask then? Isn’t he worried about his identity being known? No because all the electronics/cameras have been disabled by his team’s hacker.
I think he’s 2nd-in-command of a team of mercenaries and his boss has a grudge/score to settle with a former employer and has targeted him at an event. It’s a small event, like a high school type thing instead of a stadium. Or like a political rally or corporate type party. Depends on who the target is.
Anyway, this guy is keeping the crowd in line. Really play him up as an asshole. Isabella, who’s never considered to be a ‘hero’ by anyone’s definition is hired to save the target.
Like emergency/priority 1 type thing.
Her father-in-law tries to stop them from taking the job because he knows his old buddy is there but Isabella doesn’t care.
Eventually Isabella comes across the guy and they fight. It isn’t even close. Isabella mops the floor with him. Not because he’s that bad but because she’s that good.
I feel like she might headshot him at the end but not sure yet.
Either way by the end of the job her relationship with her father-in-law is even worse.
Yikes.
