Miguel Grande was a Military General as well as the President of the Republic of Bajirib. It was reported that he had become the latest sponsor for terrorism. In 2005, WilPharma Corporation's Head Researcher, Frederic Drowning, unleashed the T-Virus on different areas around the world, as a twisted sales pitch to Grande and earn a fortune, as he attempted to save WilPharma from it's destruction. This would be his undoing, as the U.S. Government was monitoring all of Grande's associates and so; when Ingrid Hunnigan located one of Grande's men in the United States, his interrogation caused a chain-reaction of events leading to Drowning's arrest and WilPharma's collapse as well as TRICELL's purchase of WilPharma.
