Valasquez
Biography :
Valasquez was one of Cordo’s first recruits. A civil servant at Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs, he was persuaded to follow Cordo in his crusade and he is unwaveringly dedicated to his mentor. Like Cordo, Valasquez demonstrates steely determination and detachment from people who do not serve his purpose or who hinder his plans. He starts off as a member of the Triumvirate, the group that serves the Black Orchestra’s director most closely; later, he takes over the position of director.
