Founding
The cartel was founded and led by Jose Luiz Menendez.

Assassination of Jose Luiz Menendez
On May 21st, 1982 during a CIA-backed mission, Jose Luiz Menendez was assassinated successfully. Jose's son, Raul, succeeded his father and took over the cartel.

The Airfield Incident
On January 11th, 1984 during a covert operation perpetuated by the cartel, a dimensional breach opened at a checkpoint near an undisclosed airfield in Nicaragua. The men around this breach were infected and turned into zombies. The zombies then began to kill many members of the cartel, all except for Jorge, Raul Menendez and his driver.

Meanwhile at the main camp, the cartel had begun to fortify, preparing for another attack from the undead. Jorge then informed members at the camp of what had happened at the airfield. They then said that it was happening in all of the camps in the area. Menendez then ordered his men to shoot on sight anyone who had been infected by the dimensional breach. He then went to call in a favor from his contacts overseas.

Shortly after, Russians began to arrive at the camp. Menendez then relinquished control of the cartel to the men. Menendez has not been seen ever since.
