Colonel Carlos starts off as the contact of French agent René Mathis when James Bond travels to La Paz, Bolivia, to investigate Dominic Greene's intent of securing a portion of Bolivian land for Quantum. He also meets Bond and MI6 agent Strawberry Fields during the Greene Planet Fundraiser Party.
Eventually, Carlos reveals his corrupt nature by murdering Mathis and stowing his body inside Bond's car to frame Bond for the murder and have him arrested by the police. However, Bond escapes again after killing two of Carlos' policemen, much to Carlos' anger.
Eventually, Carlos meets with exiled Bolivian general Luiz Medrano in Perla de las Dunas, a hydrogen-powered hotel in the Bolivia's Atacama Desert. It turns out that Carlos is allied with Medrano, aiding his efforts overthrow the Bolivian government as part of Greene's plan. Carlos receives his share of the money (through euros) from Elvis for his efforts, but before he leaves in his car, Bond drops on the departing vehicle and shouts "You and I had a mutual friend!" Bond shoots both Carlos and his driver in revenge for Mathis' murder. Carlos and the driver's bodies are become into ashes when the car explodes after reversing into a hydrogen fuel tank.
