BACKGROUND
Juan can’t remember much about his family. What he can remember is that they sold him to a rich family for use as a servant when he was about 7 years old. Treated badly by his new “family” Juan ran away as soon as he could and began a life on the streets. Travelling from one town or city to another, Juan soon fell in with a street gang. So began his education, an education that only taught one subject – survival. Learning to “handle” himself, Juan soon became one of the strongest fighters in the gang and, as is the case in most situations like this, the strongest became leaders. At around 14 years old, Juan became the leader of his gang.

Juan, and his gang, operate as free agents in Argentina, but have been used on a few occasions by intelligence agencies due to their local knowledge and ability to blend in.
