Carlos Mendoza was an inmate at the Stilwater Penitentiary. He had a brother who was in the Saints and who told him about The Protagonist, who had been blown up, put into a coma, and remained in the Penitentiary Hospital Ward for five years
After hearing that The Protagonist had awoken, he got himself shanked (shanked means stabbed, but Carlos seemed to have faked being shanked as he looked completly fine) to be taken into the infirmary. After an exchange of words, he managed to convince The Protagonist to escape with him. They broke out of the infirmary after killing a doctor, killed all of the guards who stood in their way, and then broke out of the prison and escaped on a boat.
Sometime after their escape, The Protagonist chose to recruit Carlos as a lieutenant. Carlos willingly accepts this, but asks a favor, he wants him to steal the car of a guy called Ramon who owed him money.
After they did it, Carlos was assigned to deal with The Brotherhood, led by Maero. However, Carlos wasn't as skilled at retrieving information than Shaundi and Pierce, but The Protagonist, who had taken a liking to Carlos, told him that he "will make him a banger, even if it kills him."
But after they poisoned Maero's tattoo ink with radioactive waste, which resulted in Maero's face being badly burned, Carlos was kidnapped by the Brotherhood (on Maero's girlfriend Jessica's order), chained to a truck's trailer hitch, and dragged through the docks. The Protagonist kills the Brotherhood members driving the truck dragging Carlos, but couldn't arrive on time, as Carlos was badly injured being dragged at high speed. Seeing as there was no way to release him from the chain Carlos nods at the Protagonist (telling him to kill him) there for the Protagonist puts Carlos out if his misery by shooting him in the head.
Zombie Carlos
After the mission Red Asphalt, where he dies, there is actually a phone number for the voodoo company "Eye for an Eye" that can bring him back as your Zombie Homie. Simply dial 555-5966 into your phone. Like Zombie Lin, Zombie Carlos drives a Reaper, but his Reaper has no modification and he has no default weapon, so he fights opponents hand-to-hand. However, he can still pick up weapons that are on the ground. Zombie Carlos is mutilated and has a hole in his head (from where The Protaganist shot him).
Trivia
- Carlos is voiced by Joe Camareno, who also does the voices of random peds in both the Saints Row games such as Los Carnales and Saints members.
- The Brotherhood missions are the only gang missions that Carlos is seen in. This is due to the fact that the player may participate in different gang missions after Carlos' death.
- Zombie Carlos, as apposed to Zombie Lin, no longer makes comments about eating brains. This unlockable homie is rather dark humor as he moans and groans, making the outside joke a little less comical.
- In an in-game newspaper for the Red Asphalt mission, it mentions a deceased person named Hector; this is a refernce to Hector, the Trojan Prince of the Greek myth of the Iliad, where Hector's corpse is dragged around behind a chariot for days.
- Carlos usually puts his head down in shame, due to the fact that he has poor self esteem.
- It would seem as though the boss saw Carlos as a little brother figure.
