Leon discovers that neither the rebels nor the government are the real villains. Svetlana, the rebel leader, is actually a pawn. The true mastermind is President Svetlana Belikova (yes, same name) — the government president. She orchestrated the entire civil war to justify seizing absolute power and to test the effectiveness of BOWs in modern warfare for future international sale.
