LAURA BALKAN-KOHN (40s) – Political science professor, outspoken, witty, born Jewish
MATIAS IGLESIAS (72 but could pass for 55) – Cardinal and papal candidate: charming, articulate, clever, first language is Spanish
ANGELO FLORES (42) – General in the military junta, charming when he wants to be, but essentially manipulative
GABRIEL MEJIA (25) – Priest with pure intentions, from a simple country background
