Domingo Chavez was born in Los Angeles, California on January 12, 1968. In 1983, he joined the US Army, serving in the 7th Infantry Division from 1984 to 1987 and rising to the rank of Staff Sergeant. In 1989, Chavez was recruited into the CIA and was tasked to undertake a secret anti-drug operation in Colombia. It was at the time that he met John Clark and started working under him. He later married Clark's daughter Patricia Clark and fathered a son, John Conor Chavez. In 1994 he and Clark rescued the former Japanese Prime Minister.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven ShieldEdit
The year is 2005. In one of RAINBOW's best known operations, Chavez leads the investigation of a series of attacks committed against South American oil sources and European financial districts. RAINBOW eventually traces the attacks to Argentinian billionaire, Nikola Gospic. Sixty years earlier, Gospic was a Nazi official in Croatia, who escaped with huge amounts of Holocaust loot before Allied troops could move into the capital. Now Gospic is dying of cancer of the liver, and plans to leave one last legacy of hate for the world by resurrecting the international Fascist movement. To do this, Gospic, through his vast financial wealth, has acquired VX Nerve and Blister gas, which he intends to distribute throughout South America through his ownership of a meat packing plant. However, RAINBOW catches wind of this plan, and leads a raid against the plant, effectively stopping the plan.

In response, Chavez pulls Bishop from the Academy and appoints him/her as deputy Rainbow director.
