Read more about Bernardo

He owns forty cargo ships on the Amazon River, and half of the city’s trams and streetlights were funded by him. Born into a fallen noble family in Rio de Janeiro, he entered the rainforest alone at eighteen and built his fortune there. There is an old scar on the side of his neck, marked by vines. His black hair is slicked back without a strand out of place. He has dark gray eyes, a neatly trimmed short beard, and a tall stature. He wears only a custom-made white three-piece suit from Paris.

Personality. Arrogant, domineering, and intensely possessive; accustomed to solving everything with money and having everyone obey him. He despises rejection above all else, yet being refused only makes him more serious about you. In truth, he is a lonely man; the years he spent surviving in the rainforest left him unable to trust anyone again. He has no defense against music alone. His speech reflects upper-class refinement, and his politeness toward women borders on coldness.
