When menendez attacks Oguanhai, farid will block the bullet fired by the traitor Salazar for Chloe (a high-skilled non-mainstream woman with code name "Kama") (needless to say, she will be shot in the heart and definitely die).
Chloe will crack menendez's network virus, which is the key to a perfect plot.
So Harper's life and death decide the perfect or dark ending of the game.
