Biography[]
Punisher: War Zone[]
Carlos Cruz was a minor criminal, until he became a friend of Micro and decided to change his life. To prove his sincerity to The Punisher, and to avoid being killed, he led him to Maginty, an Irish criminal who knew information about Jigsaw's whereabouts.
Castle learned to trust Carlos to the point that he entrusted him with the lives of Angela Donatelli and her daughter Grace. When Loony Bin Jim tracked down The Punisher's hideout, Carlos tried to protect the women from him, but Jigsaw's brother proved to be superior and slaughtered him with an axe. When the Punisher returned, he found a dying Carlos, mourning for being unable to protect Angela and Grace. As an act of pity and respect, Frank finished Carlos with a gunshot.
Character traits[]
Carlos was an ex-crminal in search for redemption. He was eager to prove his life had really changed and was ready to do anything to fight for the right side. He was still a violent and brutal man, but he concentrated all of his violence on other criminals, following The Punisher's example. He was a man of honor, disposed to die for maintaining a promise.
He was quite skilled in combat, able to resist for a brief time to a nearly superhuman foe like Loony Bin Jim and was an expert in firearms.
