Alvarez is a character in Mafia III.
History[]
Alvarez is a Cuban engraver who worked for Sal Marcano to counterfeit money. In his native Cuba, he was ordered by the communist regime to counterfeit American money in an attempt to subterfuge the US economy. [1]
After the Federal Reserve heist Sal managed to acquire some money plates, and he had his younger brother Tommy Marcano hire a counterfeiter since Sal wasn't able to counterfeit on his own. Tommy hired Alvarez to do the job. However, at that time, Lincoln Clay learned through Frank Pagani of the plates' existence and of Alvarez. However, Lincoln lost his chance to get to Alvarez as Tommy picked him to do counterfeiting work fifteen minutes prior to Lincoln's storming of Pagani's Fine Motors.
Lincoln then went to the Southdowns district, where Tommy and Alvarez operated, and took over Tommy's rackets. A combination being fearful of the attacks in the neighborhood and distrustful of the Marcanos caused Alvarez to flee Southdowns. He contacted his uncle Zarraga saying he wished to go home. Zarraga agreed and instructed Alvarez to go to Bayou Fantom to await a boat that would return him to Cuba. Unknown to Alvarez, Zarraga was connected to the Marcanos, and after receiving his nephew's message, instantly ratted him out to the Marcanos.
Alvarez, who was hiding at the Anderson Bay Lighthouse, was surprised by a small number of hitmen sent by Tommy to capture him. However, Lincoln arrived just in time and rescued Alvarez, who although hesitant to trust Lincoln at first, decided to flee the area with him. Escaping a squad of Marcano hitmen, Alvarez was brought by Lincoln to Father James' church.
There, Lincoln explained to Father James that Sal Marcano would be on a rampage "tearing this city apart" in order to find Alvarez. [2] Father James, although hesitant at first, agreed to get Alvarez out of New Bordeaux, saying that he knew a Jesuit in New Mexico that helped people in these situations.
