Diego Martinez

Diego Martinez is a character in Dead Rising 3.

Dead Rising 3
He is Nick's best friend, and is first encountered during the beginning of Chapter 2.

Diego meets Nick on the Los Perdidos Bridge. At first, he doesn't recognize Nick and shoots at him. After Diego recognizes him, however, the two reunite. Diego tells Nick about the museum that he and his squad were holded up in. He and his unit were supposed to protect the President, but when things got overwhelming, Diego ran away. He feels a tremendous amount of guilt for abandoning his duties.

He tells Nick about an airplane in the museum that he might be able to fix in order to get out of the city. Diego and Rhonda join up and leave Nick to go to the museum. After Nick visits the morgue, he can return to Rhonda and Diego near the airplane.

Diego is seen having a nervous breakdown, and Nick tries to diffuse the situation. Dick notices that Nick and Diego have similar tattoos. Nick explains that the two were in several different fosters homes together growing up, and that neither of them have any idea how their tattoos got there.

He is killed by Marian Mallon when he is shot with a powerful laser beam to test whether he is "the one".

Trivia

 * Diego is one of of Carlito's Orphans and has a 49 tattoo. If he's the forty ninth orphan on the list found in Dead Rising, then that would mean that Diego is approximately 23 years old at the time of the Los Peridos outbreak and that his birth name was Johann Collins.
