History[]
Background[]
Saju Rav grew up in Pará, Brazil. He joined the Pará Special Forces where he became a Lieutenant Colonel until he became Head of Security for Ovi Mahajan Sr., an Indian drug lord. When Ovi Sr. was arrested for his crimes, Rav would regularly visit him in his cell to provide some legal service. At some point before this, Ravi married a woman named Neysa and had a son named Aarav.
Extraction[]
While visiting, Rav informed Ovi Sr. that his son was kidnapped for ransom by a Bangladesh drug lord named Amir Asif. Refusing to pay the ransom, Ovi Sr. furiously threatened to have Rav's own family killed if he didn't rescue his son himself. Rav goes home and informs Neysa about his boss's threat on them. Neysa argues with him on his dealings and Rav, fearing for his family's safety, decides to save Ovi himself. He says goodbye and promises her he'll be back.
Rav flies to Bangladesh and kills some of Asif's men to rescue Ovi, only to find out that Ovi was already rescued by Astralian special mercenary Tyler Rake. At first, Rav mistook Rake for one of Asif's men and they fought. Once they realized they're both trying to save Ovi, they agreed to team up and waited for Nik Khan to bring in an extraction team to pick them up the next morning. Later that night, Rav calls Aarav to check on him. Aarav asks him when he's coming home, to which Rav answers "soon". When Aarav demands a more specific answer, Rav assures his son he'll be home before he wakes up in the morning. He tells his son to take care of his mother while he is away, to which he agrees.
On the day of the extraction, Rav tries to sneak Ovi to the extraction point while Rake moniters them with a sniper. However, their cover is blown when Ovi was forced to take off his cap by a man who turned out to be Asif's contact, resulting in a shootout. Rav is then killed leaving his wife and son behind, but Rake still gets Ovi to the extraction point safely. Rav's death was later avenged when Nik killed Asif in a restroom.
