Role

The landowner’s trusted man on the land: he commands the farmhands, watches the cattle and gates, and enforces the estanciero’s will while the group dragged to the islands by Operativo Cóndor takes refuge at the estancia. A minor figure; only his name and office are recorded. “The land is the boss’s; the order, mine.”
