[edit] Character biography

Mercenary Ernesto Rodriguez was leading a recon mission to investigate a hidden laboratory where he found and stole an armored suit, becoming the Black Scorpion. The armor gives Rodriguez enhanced strength and a powerful mechanical tail which can launch energy attacks. Obsessed with finding technology to improve his armor, he became a mercenary for Arachnos where he teamed up with the criminal cyborg Silver Mantis.

Currently Black Scorpion "supervises" the scientists of Arachnos and is engaged with a rivalry with Captain Mako. Black Scorpion leads the majority of Arachnos' cybernetic creations, namely the Tarantula assault units.
