Molara's secretary, whose cautious pen and trembling hands encode the telegrams that may decide a revolution's fate.

## Who they are

Miguel serves as the President's private secretary, the man who ciphers desperate orders and watches his master's star rise or fall. He is loyal but visibly shaken under pressure, trembling as he hands over the message that recalls the fleet. His quiet presence in the private office makes him a barometer of the regime's anxiety, and his actions in the early crisis help set the revolution's clock ticking.
