half hig like Hakkah in Killzone 1, except he doesn't embrace it, he hates it and goes on a hunt for all Higs on his own, ends up getting abducted and brainwashed by Visari who is not dead because the guy you killed in Killzone 2 was a look alike - green eyes vs black eyes debate. Rico is the last boss and you get a satisfying kill.
