Rehuen, “the two-hearted one”, is a cacique of the Pampas frontier who leads raids (malones) against the estancias that the regime of Colonel Carmín considers its own. His followers obey him with a devotion that goes beyond wartime loyalty.

Nature
- He is said to have two hearts: one for combat and another for something no one quite names.
- His followers read his way of moving, and his persistence in returning when he is believed defeated, as a sign of something older than politics.
- Those who stayed in his tents, such as José María the Bandit, who once lived among the Indigenous people, remember a power that withdraws and returns on its own schedule, indifferent to the calendars of the whites.
Role
The regime counts him among its unresolved threats in the south. The frontier is not pacified while he roams. The regime’s outpost in his zone of influence is the Fort of the Federal Star. The Rosist capital operates under the name Santa María de Torregrises.
