Irineu Evangelista de Sousa

Foreign Minister turned Chancellor of Brazil, he leads the nation in Power and Wealth second only to Pedro himself. 

De Sousa comes from a long line of entrepreneurs. His riches can be owed to the investment in Brazilian railways, which arrived in Brazil without the need for indentured servants. Irineu is a fierce abolitionist. He sits close to the throne, advising both the Emperor and the crown princess on what to do to make Brazil truly great. The vast population of Brazil's slave class hope that the Royal family listen to their closest advisor, for who else would be as close to power as he is?
