Leopoldo Galtieri, President of The leader of the “republic,” Galtieri has only been in power for a few months, largely due to his promises to take the Falklands from Britain. Effectively, he controls all aspects of the government and military, but he relies heavily on maintaining support from the army generals who rocketed him to power. Like his predecessors, he could face the prospect of usurpation if he doesn’t repair the military government’s public image. Protests over the repression of the people and poor economic conditions make a victory that Galtieri can tout essential.

Jorge Anaya, Admiral and Commander of the Navy Many describe Anaya as Galtieri’s right-hand man, a hawkish supporter of the dictatorship and notorious for questionable regard for human rights. He vehemently believes in the power of the military to elevate Argentina’s status and power, not afraid to torture and kill to get what he thinks is in the country’s interests. In the debate over the Falklands, Anaya often suggests that exercising the navy’s might may prove the only sure method of reclaiming Argentina’s national birthright.

Basilio Dozo, Commander of the Air Force Though somewhat less vocal than Galtieri and Anaya about the importance of the Falklands for Argentina, Dozo remains a military man at heart. Like his aforementioned partners, the commander adamantly supports the actions of the dictatorship. While Anaya tortures seemingly whimsically, Dozo appears tactical, strategic and calculating in his employment of kidnappings, torture and executions. If war comes, he is prepared to do whatever is necessary to dominate the skies of the Atlantic.

Juan Lombardo, Head of Military Strategy and Vice-Admiral Lombardo, although a naval commander, oversees tactics and strategy of Argentine forces in the Atlantic. Any military actions, if decided upon, are ultimately orchestrated by Lombardo down to the smallest details. He’s a master of his craft, well-versed in military history and strategic movements. And though it’s to a lesser extent than his military counterparts, he occasionally engages in crimes against humanity.

Ernesto Horacio Crespo, Lieutenant General and Chief of Staff of the Argentinian Air-force A Lieutenant General in charge of both the Argentinian Air-force and the Argentinian Navy’s air units, Crespo is no stranger to the sky. A seasoned war veteran often tasked with commanding many fleets, Crespo is no stranger to war or responsibility either. Along with his war accolades, he is currently working on the Condor Program, a multinational space research program working closely with Germany to develop ballistic missiles, although this information has not yet been revealed to the public. Mario Menéndez, Brigadier General and Advisor to the President “Seasoned soldier” best describes Menéndez and his career. He has been rising through the ranks of the Argentine military as a dedicated officer. Wearing many hats, Menéndez has commanded numerous contingents of the armed forces over a long period of time, gaining much respect and being sought for input regarding matters of military education, spending, and deployment. He has a strong sense of ambition and always desires more control; however, he refuses to cause unnecessary death.

Nicanor Méndez, Argentine Foreign Minister and Diplomat Méndez graduated from the prestigious University of Buenos Aires and went on to practice law, but eventually made his way into the world of international relations. He served as an ambassador of Argentina to several other countries over the span of his career. Méndez favors strong ties between Argentina and the United States because he believes in anti-Communism and the sovereignty of the Americas from other regions. Though he doesn’t play a military role, he staunchly affirms that the United States will support whatever decisions Argentina makes with regard to the Falklands - though he can’t be certain.

Eduardo Roca, Argentine Representative to the UN Roca is very good friends with Nicanor Méndez, from whom he received his current position as the representative of Argentina at the United Nations. Like Méndez, he is a lawyer by training, but entered into diplomacy after practicing law. Serving for a time as Ambassador to the United States, Roca now advocates for Argentine interests through diplomatic means at the United Nations. The rising tensions pose a difficult challenge for his abilities - while he seeks peaceful resolutions, he accuses the British of aggression and obstructing diplomacy.

Pedro Giachino, Argentine Commando and Military Officer Giachino leads a platoon of Argentine special forces who would play an instrumental, though risky and dangerous, role in any military actions taken by the government. In the past, Giachino has served in positions of dubious ethics, providing security at government installations that involved torture and enhanced interrogation tactics, possibly accompanied by executions. These methods were directed at civilian political dissidents, including the “disappeared.”

Silva Fernández Barrio, Argentine Journalist While many journalists risked their lives in the process of exposing the atrocities perpetrated by the Argentine government, Barrio played the role of one of the government’s voices. She serves as the face of “60 Minutes,” a television program that functions as one of the Argentine military’s chief propaganda tools. The station highlights the actions of the navy and army with hyperbolic positivity. Once a translator, she speaks English as fluently as she does Spanish. Mirta Acuña de Baravalle, Argentine Human Rights Activist When the began taking place under the Argentine dictatorships, resulting in the loss of the “disappeared” from communities across the country, Baravalle helped found a group of mothers and relatives that protested in the Plaza de Mayo, a main square in Buenos Aires. They became known as the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. Of course, such work is dangerous - and Baravalle’s own granddaughter remains missing.

Lucia Alberti, Argentine Feminist and Politician A passionate believer of equality, Alberti was vocal and organized in regard to her beliefs. A former member and leader of the Capital Committee of Juventud Radical Revolucionaria ("Radical Revolutionary Youth", JRR) until it was dissolved after appearing on a blacklist, Alberti used her political position to fight for what she believed in. With aspirations to continue to fight for peace and equality against the harsh dictatorship of Argentina, Alberti will have to find a way to survive this conflict with both Britain and her own country of Argentina if she wants to realize her goals.

Anthony Williams, British Diplomat After studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Trinity College in Oxford, Williams began a long career as a diplomat. He served in the Geneva and New York offices of the UN, as an ambassador to Cambodia, ambassador to Libya, among other countries. He currently serves as the British ambassador to Argentina. Currently searching for peace between the two countries, Williams is in a tricky position and must rely on his wit and strategy to help him. But after having been present for the Egyptian Suez crisis, Williams has made it through worse and aims to do so again.

Estela de Carlotto, Argentine Human Rights Activist As things began worsening under the leadership of the Argentine dictators, Carlotto refused to be silenced. Similar to Baravell, Carlotto currently serves as the vice president of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo after organizing protests against the dictatorship in a main square in Buenos Aires. Although this has resulted in Carlotta's husband being kidnapped and tortured, the abduction and murder of her daughter, and the kidnapping of her grandson who she continues to search for, Carlotto will not be silenced in her fight for Human Rights and critique of dictatorship.

Alexander Haig, United States Secretary of State Serving as Secretary of State under President Ronald Reagan, Alexander Haig helps mediate diplomacy between London and Buenos Aires during these tense times. Haig finds that, under an administration with strong ties to Reagan’s fellow leader of the Conservative Revolution, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, his personal feelings toward a Western Hemisphere without outside influence is under scrutiny.
