Description
The events of the game begin shortly before the events of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. Bishop leads their team on a botched hostage rescue operation in Pic des Pyrenees, France in which a Rainbow hostage negotiator is killed due to one of their team members, Gabriel Nowak, defying orders by opening fire before additional Rainbow operatives arrive. After securing the hostages, Bishop's team covers Nowak while he defuses a nearby bomb. Nowak is injured during a brief firefight shortly afterward and verbally lashes out at Bishop, taking out his apparent shame and anger on the team. Alpha Team, led by Domingo Ding Chavez, arrives and quell the situation. Nowak is rescued.
