Ubisoft continued to update Rainbow Six Siege since the game’s launch in 2015, and one of the biggest features of the game is new entrants. Rainbow Six’s first new Year 6 character is already making a splash. Flores is an offensive operator with a series of four explosive drones on wheels. He is also the first gay character in the game.
Rainbow Six Siege Operators have historically come from a specific organization that deals with national defense or counter-terrorism. Ash trained with the Israel Defense Forces and the SWAT, Finka worked with Russia’s Spetsnaz and so on. Flores, on the other hand, is a master thief who comes from Argentina. A game report from one of his teammates also reveals that he is a dedicated husband.
In general, I would say that he is a good friend. A little strange, but he listens when others speak, which is more than I can say for many people. Every night he calls home to talk to her husband, but he is very reserved about their relationship (at least with me). He cares about people in general, but his marriage is on another level. Even when he takes off the ring, he never leaves his person.
And if you really pay attention to Gridlock’s words, you’ll see that my boy is gay. It has no effect on your gameplay, but this is GREAT for me, and I am DYING to share it with all of you. pic.twitter.com/gCsqOT57J4

Flores looks pretty cool compared to the other characters when it comes to visual design, too. While many of the cast are wearing heavy tactical clothing or buttoned styles, Flores sports a pair of elegant red tones and a flat cap.
Flores will be available for everyone to play with Operation Crimson Heist, due out on March 16. Some members of Rainbow Six recently appeared in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint also.
