Evaristo Pérez de Castro y Brito
, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain
Prime Minister of Spain, a Progressive leading a cabinet with a mixture of Progressives and Moderates. Control over Ministries is limited due to the fractious nature of the coalition.
Ramón de Santillán
Liberal and innovative governmental official, following a successful career in the Army of Jerónimo Merino in the War of Spanish Independence, turned his hand to Finance under the reformist Prime Minister Mendizabal. Currently a senior official in the Finance Ministry.
Alejandro Mon y Menéndez
Former minister of Finance, in collaboration with de Santillan he continues his endeavours at the Ministry of Finance, specialises in taxation reforms, and continues to serve at the Ministry despite the end of his tenure... His background as a treasury civil servant and his belief in the importance of collective, local responsibility have seen his stock rise, even out of office.
Don Daniel Sarredero, Duke of La Manga-Cabo de Palos
Owner of vast tobacco plantations in Cuba, including a dedicated factory of the most beautiful Cuban virgins, whose rolling is seemingly dedicated solely to the supply of his good friend, Ramon's insatiable appetite for fine cigars. A Moderate in the Parliament, his cross-party drinking sessions with Ramon and Teodoro seem to bridge most political divides, though late night lewd chants through Seville and other cities have resulted in a series of embarassing arrests, including arrests for public defecation in a bin, along with indecent exposure. Most recently the cause of a minor diplomatic incident in Lisbon's Bairro Alto district, where he managed to insult a particularly wealthy businessman for failing to share his wives... his ability to survive scandal is largely as a result of press pressure from Ramon's press conglomerate.
Don Ramón Sigmar Antonio, Duke of Portugalete.
An influential figure, originally from a small coal producing village near Bilbao, the destruction of the Northern infrastructure during the Carlist War prompted him to come to a deal with a prominent British industrialist, Lord Seisllywig, who provided venture capital for Ramón to purchase stakes in the recovering nascent coalfields in the North of Spain. Further purchases by Ramón include papermills and a near monopoly over the supply of paper for the infant press industry in Madrid. Considered primus inter pares amongst the rising merchant and banking class, his controlling in stakes in many newspapers in Madrid has assisted the government greatly in it's era of great reform, despite his Conservative tendencies. However, he is quick to anger, Ramón is believed to be behind many of the resignations of Prime Ministers in the recent past, assisted by his part-time role as a member of the Upper House. Held in contempt by many on the 'Progressive' Left, he wears his nickname (originally intended as an insult) - Hurricane Ramón, with pride. Never found far from the members bar in Parliament with Teodorio and Daniel, he is frequently seen excitedly stroking his sheepskin Sporran, which he wears following a trip to the Gower Peninsula, frequently referring to his 'tender Welsh lamb', despite his being a lifelong vegetarian.
Don Téodoro Llarrio, Duke of Isla Mayor del Baron & San Javier.
Grandson of a prominent Welsh landowner, Téodoro tends towards liquor at most times of day, and attempting to make amenable company better. Co-conspirator with Ramon and Daniel, frequently seen behind the scenes of the Upper House, deliberating with other individuals as how to attempt to create a creditworthy State. Amending district boundaries is something of a political hobby, he is avowedly forward looking and a smooth political operator. Master of the British game 'cricket', his attempts to introduce it as a sport between warring factions of the Parliament has been held back by the lack of a formal arena for the sport, it otherwise making for a pleasant respite between fiery sessions. Teodoro frequently brings a grand tent to the matches, along with cucumber and aniseed based refreshments for the participants. Owner of a grand palatial retreat on the Isla Mayor del Baron, his 'mornings' tend to fit in broadly with local time, and is said only to be raised from his bed by his lifelong thirst-quencher, 'Sangria-juice'. Anecdotal excerpts include a particularly ill-fated naked swimming session with friends, in which a notorious local bandit was said to have robbed the party of dry clothes, bar Teodoro's, who was supposedly looking after said clothes on shore, Teodoro refuses to comment as to whether this misfortune assisted him pass his latest Bills of boundary reforms.
