Nguyen Trang

Nguyen Trang is a North Vietnamese officer and the game's main human antagonist. He is tasked with leading a group of special forces (Dac Cong) in search of WhiteKnight.

In-game
Trang is first encountered by Nate in the level Host. He and two other VC attempt to take Nate hostage and interrogate him about WhiteKnight's whereabouts. However, Sgt. Griffin and another G.I drive up in a truck, and Nate escapes. Trang and his men follow the party towards Cambodia, where he successfully ambushes the American Special Forces holding Cal prisoner. Nate is almost captured, but a group of Infected set off a trap and Trang flees. He reappears again at the destroyed American convoy near the Ho Chi Minh trail, where he finally succeeds in capturing the protagonist. He takes Nate to a VC prison camp, where he and a guard violently interrogate him for information. After Nate survives the torture scene, Trang leaves the room and is not seen again. Once Nate escapes, he meets up with a pair of Green Berets on a mission to capture Trang and gather intel on the VC. Nate goes along, determined to get his revenge. As he makes his way through the camp, the protagonist witnesses Sean Vickers' death at the hands of Trang. Following him into a hut, Trang suddenly surprises Nate from behind, punching him to the ground. He is about to shoot Nate when an infected Griffin appears and jumps on Trang's back. The two struggle for a bit before the officer manages to shoot Griffin, causing him to run. Nate leaves the wounded Trang, and is about to escape when suddenly he makes one more desperate leap at Walker. Nate manages to snap Trang's neck, and escapes to a waiting helicopter. As he flies away, Griffin can be seen running outside with Trang's head, which he apparently tore off the dead body.
