Played by : K. B.

Toggle Group description

International guests
“We want to help, not undermine you. You did a great service to the West in overthrowing Allende. Otherwise Chile would have followed Cuba” (Henry Kissinger, US Secretary of State).

Americans, Italians, undercover agents from other nations. The communist menace attracts many different people to Chile, ready to fight for their interests. They are official envoys from other countries, spies ready to snitch to their governments, and if necessary intervene in the Chilean national affairs. Accomplices or silent witnesses to Villa Grimaldi’s events, strong opponents or loyal supporters of the regime and of what happens in the detention center.
Politics, intrigue, the international guests’ gameplay is like a chess game, where Chile is the board, pawns can be sacrificed to save the king; and the global scenery, in the middle of Cold War, is more important than human rights. Not all world is blind, and voices about what is happening under the regime are spreading.
The gameplay of the international guests will be strong in politics and intrigue, with the dilemma of having to represent the interests of their own country, or their own, in front of the atrocities they will witness or will be guilty of.
THEMES: convenience, human rights, politics, ethics.

Teaser:

When he was a child, Licio wanted to become a puppet master. It's ironic how he, somehow, realized his dream. They call him Venerable, but it has little to do with his age or his power. Like a snake, he slides unseen through politics and high finance, protected by his good friends, sure he will be unpunished. When you are controlling so many strings some of them can eventually get tangled or even break, but a good theatrical always knows when it's time to cut them.

Relations:

They say that Cardinal Jean Marie Villot   lost his soul: nevermind, he can give him his own. He’s eager to see again Manuel Contreras  . The Colonel is a good friend who recently gained even more power and autonomy, which are always useful. He wants to talk to the Prince Julio Valerio Borghese  : they have known each other for a long time, and they do great things together.
