Toggle Group description

The military. "The country is safe, because we have a good secret service” (A. Pinochet)

Soldiers, army members, ordinary police, Carabineros, and agents of the DINA, the feared and dangerous secret police.
They are military, but also politicians, in a mashup common in dictatorships. They can be cold, but also cruel and violent. They are respected by some, and feared by all. Among them there are loyal soldiers, but also ambitious and ruthless individuals that hide their perversions behind orders and an uniform. They are the fist of repression, justified by the need to maintain order and safety, avoiding any opposition that might destabilize or damage the government, protecting Chile from the soviet menace.
Their gameplay will be related to physical and psychological abuse, discovering brutality, and they will be torn between duty, discipline and moral dilemma.
THEMES: human dignity, responsibility, duty, morals.

Teaser:

There is nothing that Manuel Contreras wouldn't do to accomplish the mission that General Pinochet gave him. The dissidents are just a cancer that must be promptly eradicated and the safety of the country must be guaranteed by any means. The DINA and Villa Grimaldi are the embodiment of his ideals, the iron fist that will crush the communist enemies. Contreras knows that some Generals are reluctant to knuckle under a ''Colonel'', but he doesn't actually care: all that matters is deserving the gratitude and the appreciation that the President shows him.

Relations:

Of his colleagues , Basclay Zapata   is the one he least trusts, as it looks like he doesn’t belong to the DINA. Licio Gelli   may be shadowed by more prominent figures, but has the discreet charm of someone with the power of shaping destinies. Maybe that is why he’s called Venerable. Priests like Cardinal Silva Enriquez   are troublesome and unfortunately always difficult to remove without making any noise. Nelida Rivera   is a peach. She’s the grace that Villa Grimaldi was missing and is an excellent and trustworthy secretary.
