Plot
The game takes place in Arulco, a nation that was ruled by a democratic monarchy which led the nation until 1988. Elections were held every ten years. Enrico Chivaldori, a candidate for election, was the son of the current ruler. He took a wife, Deidranna Reitman, who helped to boost Enrico's popularity which led Enrico to victory. But, Deidranna had a thirst for power and she soon murdered Enrico's father and framed him for the crime. Enrico managed to escape by faking his own death, but Deidranna converted Arulco into an authoritarian state.
In the beginning the player must hire mercenaries to eliminate Deidranna and her forces. Mercenaries start in Omerta where they meet the rebel leader and former election candidate Miguel Cordona in the rebel hideout. Miguel Cordona and his other mercenaries will help if the player agrees to remove Deidranna's forces from the towns in Arulco.
