The Recio

Antonio Recio

-- Antonio Recio

  • Raised Catholic - "I already have The Bible, and I don't believe in it."
    • Still, he's pretty much catholic. He prays, confesses his sins at the church and... prays at the end of each neighbor board.


Berta Escobar

"I, Berta Escobar, descendant of jewelers…"

-- Berta Escobar

Bertha is the perfect match for Antonio. She is a highly puritanical woman which leads to her husband to where he wants.
