Monolith Timeline[]
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin[]
Sgt. Manuel "Manny" Morales is a Delta Force operative who assists Michael Becket during the events of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
A wisecracking but efficient soldier who loves his job, he serves as Dark Signal's APC driver, but is capable of fighting when required. He is the only Dark Signal member who is not a Harbinger candidate (although he is mentioned to be a "reserve" by Dr. York, who seems pessimistic about Morales's usefulness), and may be the only member of Dark Signal that is still alive, as Lt. Keira Stokes died and Michael Becket does not survive the events of F.E.A.R. 3. Although he doesn't appear in F.E.A.R. 3, it is a bit ambiguous if he made it out of Fairport or not. What became of him. His last words in the game are "Good luck, man," which he says to Becket.
Sgt. Morales is last seen guarding the APC outside of the Still Island facility. He is instrumental in the mission to find Genevieve Aristide, and again in reaching Still Island's Telesthetic Amplifier, having successfully transported the team in and out of dangerous situations. He is steady under pressure, and is able to make quick decisions (such as driving the APC into the subway) that have proven useful for the completion of the mission and the preservation of his team's lives. He does, however, seem to have a slight love for combat, as evidenced in the final Replica battle, where his flamboyant taunting produces several memorable quotes.
