Manu Elis Segundo

• Age: 30 • Occupation: Underpaid journalist, Don Carlos' illegitimate son • Appearance: o Sharp features, always in thrifted clothes, but carries himself with quiet pride o Long eyelashes, soft-spoken voice, faint scar above his eyebrow o Looks more like Carlos than anyone admits • Personality: o Honest, intuitive, and fiercely moral—even when it hurts o Spent most of his life angry at the man who denied him o Investigates his father's secrets out of both vengeance and need for identity • Arc: o Begins as a crusader for truth, ends realizing the cost of exposing pain o Doesn’t reconcile with Carlos while he’s alive—but reads the letter o Takes ownership of his name, but not his father’s wealth
