| abstract | - Wilson Da Silva is a police detective in the São Paulo Police Department. He investigates political corruption as well as gang activity, and also instances of unlawful use of force by other police operatives, notably actions of the Unidade de Forças Especiais unit. Da Silva becomes Max Payne's ally and friend due to their common interest to take down the Crachá Preto paramilitary group and the police UFE unit, both of which are linked to disappearances of people from the Favelas of São Paulo. A rather cynical, yet serious member of São Paulo's police force, Da Silva starts to investigate the disappearances of many people in the city of São Paulo, as well as investigating the UFE's involvment in the case through the actions of his rival and enemy, the head of the UFE, Armando Becker. Following their second meeting at a strip club in Nova Esperança, Da Silva begins to help Max Payne in his quest for truth. While remaining mysterious and secretive, Da Silva provides information for Max Payne about his leads and findings into the kidnapping conspiracy. The two reveal a plot that involved kidnapping innocent civillians in the Favelas, harvesting their organs and selling them on the black market for large amounts of money. Together, Wilson and Max find out that the mastermind behind this grim kidnapping conspiracy is Senator Victor Branco, one of Max's former bosses, and the true man behind the actions of the UFE. The two were able to finally finish off the UFE during Victor's attempt to flee from the city by plane. As Max defeats Becker at the airport, and takes his grenade launcher, Wilson arrives in his car to pick up Max and tail Branco's plane, allowing Max to destroy the plane with Becker's grenade launcher, which caused the plane to crash. Victor survived the crash, mocking Max in a last stand attempt at regaining his ego. Max wanted to kill Victor, yet Da Silva warned against it, instead asking Max to spare him and allow Victor to get a fair trial and suffer in jail. Victor insisted that he would walk free, to which Max responded with breaking Victor's leg out of anger and revenge for everything he was put through.
