He was stationed in Iraq during the events of Part One, during which time his family was killed in New York City with people infected with Mercer virus . When Heller returns to New York, the battle between the infected and the soldiers is still in full swing. Heller can be escorted into the red zone and is killed shortly after the game starts.

In this way, the player also receives some of Mercer's special abilities, others can be unlocked later in the game.
