Paul Cortez

General Cortez was the leader of GDI forces in the Southern sector, commanding his forces, appropriately enough, from the [[Southern Cross] command center.

History
Prior to the creation of the Firestorm Taskforce, General Cortez was generally out of the limelight, not playing a major role in the events of the Second Tiberium War. However, when freak ion storms and atmospheric changes cut off contact between the Philadelphia command station and the ground, Cortez assumed Global GDI command from Southern Cross. He quickly brought together the Firestorm Taskforce, and siphoned off a young Commander from Project Lazerus to head up the taskforce.
