Rico Rodriguez is the protagonist of the Just Cause series and the playable character. He is a dictator removal specialist throughout the games.
According to the Just Cause 2 PDA, Rico was 21 years old when he was scouted by Tom Sheldon in 1986 (which means that he would have been born in 1965, which conflicts other JC2 PDA info where it states that he was born in 1968), but according to promotional information for JC3, he joined The Agency – the covert arm of the CIA – at age 18.

In conclusion, it was unknown when Rico was born between 1965 or 1968, with the date on the JC2 PDA potentially not accurate. This confusion was then cleared up by the official Just Cause social media pages which (posted on 2020.09.28) confirmed that Rico was indeed born in 25th of January, 1968.
Rico has gone by various nicknames throughout his travels. Some of these include "Hero of San Esperito" in Just Cause (1), "Scorpio", "The Scorpion", and "King of Panau" in Just Cause 2, and "Aquila" (eagle), "Fratre" (brother), "Son of Medici", and "the agent" in Just Cause 3.
