[hider=R. Menaz][b]Full Name[/b]: Rodrigo Menaz

[b]Age[/b]: 46

[b]Brief Description & Background[/b]: Rodrigo was born into a state of war when Melizea was at an all-time low, when his father was taken and killed by invading warlords he defended his village with the older men and elderly as they fielded almost ancient equipment. Their lever and bolt action rifles fended off the marauding horde, giving their families time to escape. Much later as he entered his young adulthood, Melizea still suffered from it's an ancient feud. Rodrigo left his family to join the Melizea Revolutionary Guard at the ripe age of 18.

He fought rebels for his first few years before going back to the capital to attend Algaria Military College (named after a previous beloved dictator). He commissioned as a 3rd Lieutenant at age 23. The higher Rodrigo climbed in his military career the more back-door deals and corruption he saw in his country and the government, not liking the odds of him surviving a revolution or assassination he retired from the army at the rank of Major at age 40. 

After his military career, Rodrigo started a private military company (translated locally to "The Soldiers") that employed ex-Melizea military along with a few foreigners from the Baltic Lands. His company dealt with general security contracts but profited from the oil companies as they protected a majority of foreign oil companies like BigGas and Petro Intl. Currently, he operates the company out of their headquarters in the capital where he can keep an eye on the government's affairs, his family and his enemies all in one place.
