The Resume

    (September 30, 1948-March 1, 2008)
    Born in La Plata, Colombia
    Birth name was Luis Edgar Devia Silva
    Spokesperson and second in command of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)
    Killed during a Colombian army raid against a FARC camp in Ecuador

Why he might be annoying:

    He was a Communist.
    He expanded cocaine trafficking by FARC.
    He was responsible for the abduction and murder of hundreds of people, including 13 policemen, 18 soldiers, a judge, a provincial governor, two former Colombian ministers and the daughter of the former president of Paraguay.
    He was responsible for the bombing of Club El Nogal in Bogota, killing 36.
    Hugo Chavez payed tribute to Reyes with a minute of silence during a TV broadcast.

Why he might not be annoying:

    A BBC reporter said he was 'unfailingly polite' in interviews.
    His death was described as shattering 'the myth of invincibility' surrounding FARC's leaders.
    He was tracked down with the assistance of the FBI and DEA, who wiretapped satellite phones bought for FARC in Miami.
